These are some of our favorite songs that we listen to on the Journey
“Karen’s Love Song” was created as a tribute to the woman whose courage, humour, and quiet resilience shape every day in our home. This song reflects the real moments we share — the challenges, the laughter, the small victories, and the deep love that carries us through each season of life. It’s more than music; it’s a piece of our story, offered here with gratitude and pride.
“This song has always spoken to the kind of love that lasts through every season of life. Randy Travis sings about a devotion that doesn’t fade, a promise that keeps growing stronger with time. I chose this for Karen because its message reflects the way I feel about her — steady, faithful, and grateful for every day we share. It’s a reminder that true love isn’t just a moment, but a lifelong commitment… forever and ever, amen.”
A quiet anthem for everyday kindness. Johnny Reid’s voice carries a warm, soulful promise: to greet with a smile, love without hesitation, and make a difference through daily compassion.
No grand gestures—just presence, sincerity, and heart. This song walks beside us.
Sent to Karen in the quiet beginning, this song has echoed through every chapter since. It carries the tenderness of first connection, the resilience of shared days, and the quiet grace of love that endures. This is not just a song — it’s our soundtrack.
"Love Can Build a Bridge" by The Judds is more than a song—it’s a timeless reminder that compassion and connection can overcome distance, division, and doubt. Released in 1990, it became an anthem of unity, carrying the message that love is the strongest foundation we can share. On this page, it stands as a musical echo of what we believe: that kindness, trust, and care can bridge any gap.
The Older I Get feels like it was written for the two of us, because it echoes the way our life has unfolded—slowly, honestly, and with a deeper appreciation for what we’ve built together. As the years pass, we’ve learned to value the quiet moments just as much as the big ones: the familiar routines, the shared glances that say more than words, the comfort of knowing we’re still choosing each other every day. The song reminds us of how far we’ve come, how much we’ve grown, and how grateful we are to be walking this road side by side.
Why This Song Still Hurts to Hear
When “Eve of Destruction” came out in 1964, it captured a nation struggling to understand itself. What’s striking — and heartbreaking — is how familiar that feeling is today. You don’t have to look far to see anger, fear, division, and a sense that the world is shaking under our feet. The headlines change, but the weight behind them feels the same.
What struck me wasn’t the scenery — though it was beautiful — but the quiet realization that almost every road they featured was one we had travelled ourselves over the years in the RV. It’s funny how you don’t notice the shape of your own life until something holds up a mirror. As the camera followed those long stretches of highway, I found myself remembering mornings when we’d pull out of a campground with no particular schedule, just the day ahead of us.
