I wish I’d sung this song to Bill when he was alive. I guess it didn’t occur to me, until he was gone, how wonderful life was when he was in the world, even during the last six years of his life when I cared for him at home after he suffered two paralyzing strokes. You can read more about our life together in My Ideal Partner: How I Met, Married, and Cared for the Man I Loved Despite Debilitating Odds.
According to Wikipedia, “Your Song” was released in October of 1970. It was written by Elton John and his long-time collaborator, Bernie Taupin. Click here to learn more. Three Dog Night also released this song in March of 1970, but frankly, I like Elton John’s version better, and I hope you enjoy this video rendition.

New! The Red Dress
Copyright July 2019 by DLD Books
When Eve went to her high school senior prom, she wore a red dress that her mother had made for her. That night, after dancing with the boy of her dreams, she caught him in the act with her best friend. Months later, Eve, a freshman in college, is bullied into giving the dress to her roommate. After her mother finds out, their relationship is never the same again.
Twenty-five years later, Eve, a bestselling author, is happily married with three children. Although her mother suffers from dementia, she still remembers, and Eve still harbors the guilt for giving the dress away. When she receives a Facebook friend request from her old college roommate and an invitation to her twenty-five-year high school class reunion, then meets her former best friend by chance, she must confront the past in order to face the future.
