And her mother lies there sick with cancer, and her friends don’t understand her
The first time I heard this song was right after my mother was diagnosed with lymphoma. I had to pull over the car I was sobbing so badly and had to explain to a cop that pulled over to check on me what was wrong. He ended up being really nice and called my dad to come get me. He waited with me while my dad got a family friend to give him a ride so he could drive my car home for me. I never told my mom about it, either.
The Christmas Shoes song was just as bad.
