A while back, I was teasing a friend of mine for liking country music, but I had to admit I actually like a lot of country songs. Mostly older ones, but there are some good new ones too. I was trying to think of one to post, and some things going on in her life right now reminded me of this one in a roundabout way.

Sometimes, when a friend is suffering and you want to do something to help, it’s hard to think of anything that doesn’t seem intrusive, cheesy, or wholly inadequate. This song reminded me that being there with your support is the important thing, even if you have to be a little cheesy. And it’s a pretty song.
