This song has been out for ten years but I only had it show up in my Instagram feed yesterday. This is such a powerful song, written by Stephanie Rainey in the depths of here grief over the loss of her 1 year old nephew. The lyrics will hit anyone who has had a significant loss. I know it hit me.

The Bread Making Start
