Aww 😞 A year ago I wrote this song for my lovely friend Jodie. She passed away this weekend and I, and those who knew her, are absolutely heart broken. I wanted to send it out there so the notes will carry her on her way. 🌟 Go gently my beautiful, brave friend. I promise to help keep your little one safe and happy as she grows. ❤️ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DJoImFUjijY
