I had stage 4 cancer a year ago, I listened to this song every night and cried myself to sleep. I was scared and didn't know if i was going to make it through, but I have so far. This song means a lot to me, and i listen to it when i need to take a step back to humble myself and be thankful for what i have.

Lyrics
There is a house built out of stone
Wooden floors, walls and window sills
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust
This is a place where I don't feel alone
This is a place where I feel at home
'Cause, I built a home
For you
For me
Until it disappeared
From me
From you
And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust
Out in the garden where we planted the seeds
There is a tree as old as me
Branches were sewn by the color of green
Ground had arose and passed it's knees
By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top
I climbed the tree to see the world
When the gusts came around to blow me down
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
I held on as tightly as you held onto me
And, I built a home
For you
For me
Until it disappeared
From me
From you
And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust

My dad was diagnosed with dementia last year. This song reminded me of the hard work that he had to build a house for us. But he made so much more than that, he built a home, where me, my sister and my mother felt safe. This song made me cry so many times, because he was our best friend and now he´s no longer the same person. But we are here for him, trying to do what he always did for us. We try to make him happy and safe and make him feel that he´s not alone.

My dad died two weeks ago, a few days after we discovered he had terminal cancer. The pain is so deep, I feel my heart physically aches. I want to hug him again, I would do anything just for another hug or call. Dad I’ll miss you until my last breath. Thank you for loving like nobody could. All my love to the cancer patients and caregivers xoxo
