Topic: Ten Years of Changing
Just a song relating to my visit to see all my family on my wife’s side that has taken actually a little longer than ten years since I last visited them. It is somewhat of a shock to see all that happens in that amount of time and takes quite a bit of catching up. I will try and make sure I keep my visits less infrequent. I hope you like the song.
