In case you haven’t heard, my dear friend over at Goodnight Moon hosts the What’s YOUR Song? Link-Up every Thursday. It’s as simple as it sounds: pick a song, post it on your blog, and link it up. The last time I participated in the link up, I shared Miss Willie Brown’s “Freeland,” a beautiful song about military spouses keeping the home fires burning. Since then, several anonymous commenters have added songs to my Deployment Songs playlist, one of which I wanted to share today. My song choice today is called “Keeper of the Stars” by Andrea Pearson. I know nothing about the artist, but the song moved me to tears. If Miss Willie Brown’s song is my anthem for military spouses, then Andrea Pearson’s song is my tribute to military brats. I dare you to watch without a box of Kleenex.
I should not have watched this before my first cup of coffee. Well, I still would have cried.
I'm bawling my eyes out. Beautiful.
shouldn've listened to your warning & watched it later after the deployment. Good song & video.
What a beautiful song! I totally cried from the very beginning! Thanks for sharing!
well, then…I had my cry for the day!
YUP! Definitely had a tear forming during that one. If I haven't seen all those clips before, I would have lost it!
Thank you for sharing. 🙂
OMG I love everything about this video <3
I cried ^_^
Oh my word…I was crying after the first 30 seconds. How touching that was and I LOVED the song. Thanks so much for sharing 🙂
Yep, major tearage on that one. I should have listened & brought the kleenex first! Thank you for sharing!
I cry every time I watch anything like this. I'ts beautiful! It's one of those things that is already emotional, but it has an even deeper emotion for me. 🙁 I'm just a hot mess…haha
I am crying right now! It reminds me so much of my marine and his daughter. Thank you for sharing this.
oh wow, I was crying right at the 10 second mark, thanks for sharing!
Thanks for making me cry this morning! Gesh! You needed a warning label for this post….NEED A BOX OF TISSUES.
Thanks for linking up sweet cheeks! You know I adore you! I'm just now making my rounds since I was sooooo sick yesterday!
I definitely cried. I'm a Canadian Military Spouse and military brat – but we were stationed in the States when I was younger. That song is amazing, thanks for sharing.
So sweet! I got that "lump in the throat and tears" feeling from the very beginning with the little cutie saying "Daddy! I missed you!"…to the very end! Thank you for sharing this one.
Blessings & Aloha!
(catching up on some of my blog reading…also wondering if you know who the next one is for this week that will be hosting your awesome Mil Spouse Weekly Roundup?)
I cry every time, I think about my son when his father and I deploye in a few months.
