Day 4: In the words of Billy Ocean: There will be sad songs that make you cry

Today, I have been challenged to find a song that makes me sad. It's kinda weird to think of a song that makes you sad. No one wants to channel sad thoughts or bad memories. For me, this song makes me sad in a good way. It is sort of bittersweet for me. It reminds me of my childhood home, that I often miss. I miss it because of the circumstances of my life journey, I haven't lived in my childhood home since the early 90s. Although I love going home to my mom and dad's house, the house they live in now is one they moved to in my adult life. I will never get to sit in the same living room Christmas morning as I did as a child nor will I ever be able to take my own children into my backyard and show them where I used to play and built a fort. This song just makes me want to revisit the house that built me one more time.
