His Grandma played a big part in his life and they shared a special bond of friendship. He told her about the song and hoped that she would be able to hear the finished recording someday, but that never happened. I could relate to the lyrics as my own Grandma had lived in an institution and had alzheimer’s disease before she passed away. They were both great ladies deserving to be remembered in song. I think anyone who has ever lost someone they loved and has had to go through a lifetime worth of belongings will be able to relate to this song.
