Song story...
I listened primarily to talk radio before my husband died. After that, I couldn't handle all the words and started to listen to music instead. Now, there was a relatively new country artist out that was singing some fun songs...my husband had me listen to one called "I'm Going to Miss Her" which is about a man whose woman made an ultimatum about him going fishing one more time...and he picked fishing and "was going to miss her". It is extremely funny and really wasn't too far off from my husband and my relationship. A few months before he died, he told me about another song by this same artist that he really liked ... and I laughed because I assumed it was another goofy one. It was called "Waiting on a Woman". Yeah, another joke because I was always "late"...I get it...hahaha. I never got around to listening to it at the time though.
Fast forward a few months. My husband had just died and I was trying to pick music for the funeral. My son volunteered that Daddy's favorite song was "Waitin on a Woman"...I laughed because it definitely didn't sound like funeral music...and still didn't listen to the song. (Again, Billy...not funny...)
Fast forward a few more weeks...I am buying some cds. That day I was heading out to the cemetery to sand down a wooden bench my BIL put on the grave for me. I wanted to have music to keep me company. I found what I was looking for ... and then almost tripped over another CD that had the song "Waitin on a Woman" plastered across the front. (OK, Billy, I'll buy it and listen!)...so I got that one too. I ended up putting that CD on first. Just as I got ready to actually start working on that bench, Waitin on a Woman came on...so I stopped to actually listen to the words. I was a complete mess by the end of the song...it even had that stupid bench in it. I honestly believe it was a love song just for me...
