Joy,
You and I have never met so this might seem odd to you (a perfect stranger writing you a letter & making you a cd... pretty weird!) but your father has been a great co-worker & friend to me. I don't have any family out here, and at times, your father's wisdom makes my world a little more bearable. The way your father speaks of his children, reminds me of my own dad.
My father and I often communicate through music, and throughout this past year I have shared some of my music with your dad, to which he has passed along to his kids. Your dad has recently communicated that you are facing an extremely difficult time in your life (he hasn't shared any details, just that you're facing some battles, that even the strongest of souls would need some extra courage to face)
I don't know your entire story Joy, but what I seem to know for certain is, that you're an incredible woman. You have accomplished some pretty amazing things in your life. I can also tell, through the details that your father does share, that you have an insatiable desire to help others. I have over-come some battles of my own throughout my life. Some of those I faced alone, some from the help of family, and some through the words given to me by perfect strangers.
So here I am, passing along to you the gift of music. I consider each song enclosed a personal friend of mine. Because at one point in my life, they have each grabbed my fragile hand and lifted me from that dark place. So it's my hopes that each one finds you, just as well. You're a beautiful soul, even in the eyes of a perfect stranger.
"And there will come a time,
you'll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart,
but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see
what you find there,
With grace in your heart
and flowers in your hair."
