    my grandma (on my mom's mom) used to love it when my cousins and I would sing this song to her. We were so shy when we were young so it was like pulling teeth to get us to do it! Years later, she started getting pretty sick. She knew she didn't have long, so she made a trip out to see me and my family (we got as much family on my mom's side as possible to come out too. they live in B.C. and Manitoba. we live in Saskatchewan.) And we went out to our local bar, drank, and sang karaoke. We sang this song for her on the way home from the bar, lol. It was a happy, wonderful memory that I will always treasure and I have a feeling she did too. With that in mind, this song always made my eyes sting with a bit of happy tears, even though it's been a few years now since she passed. Love and miss you always, Grandma.
