“I wept. I was alone with him — and that song — in the last place he played it, with the piano he played it on, in the last place he played anything, in the last place anyone ever heard him sing.

God speed your love to me.

Surreal. So real.”

Brilliant writing Lauren. From start to finish. This reader took every step, felt every feeling & was with you all the way! These are the moments that move the soul & spirit & leave us with a lot more thoughts about what this world really entails & magically allow us step in time with those gone before us 👣 ✨🎙️👣

Beautifully written! I felt truly transported to Graceland with you. Feeling the lush carpet under my feet, making sure my socks were clean .... Unchained Melody - my childhood favourite. Thank you Lauren x

I loved touring Graceland with you. I hadn't thought a lot about it but now I'd like to see it one day.

It was so much fun walking through each of the rooms with you! I hope to make it to Graceland one day. ♥️

Can’t Help Falling In Love was the song that played as I walked down the aisle at my wedding, and it’s one of the songs my mom used to sing to me when I was a baby. 😊
