Yes… That fall was the most magical time of my life actually… and then ending with the Christmas chatting with that group all the time… Y’all were seriously my best friends at that time (with the exception of The Tolkien Friend).

@wingiby-iggiby First of all, I LOVE your name!! <3 <3

Second yes. That song is haunting… from the first time I heard it…. DAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! I’ve never recovered. What’s really fun is to go in a racquetball room at my school and to sing that song in there because of the acoustics…  The way it echoes is wonderful.

And My Love Has Gone Across the Sea… I love many songs, but only a few are MY SONGS (as in I will melt for them). That is one of the two songs with the ability to make me cry… The evening after I read The Monster in the Hollows I was washing dishes while listening to that song and was absolutely bawling. My family had no idea what was going on.

I’ve read the books twice on my own and then one time through reading them to a couple of my siblings… When I read the scene with My Love Has Gone Across the Sea I nearly cried and when I looked up, my brother was trying not to bawl and my sister was a puddle of tears. She cried the rest of the night I think.

Then the last emotional story was the night before I went away to college I played that song on the piano and sang along. When I was done my brother was bawling… And he doesn’t usually cry so it made me emotional. XD

So there! I’m done with the tears that have been shed to that song, but yes… Needless to say, you are very right about the Petersons… Andrew Peterson is my biggest modern day hero. Hands down. His books and music and things he’s said elsewhere have been one of the biggest ministries in my life…
