It's been rough around here lately. It's hard to find the words to express everything I/we are feeling. We lost a good man recently & today we celebrated his life.
My daughter's favorite teacher of all time passed away expectantly. It hit her hard. It hit her class hard. Those kids, those teachers, that school will forever be changed by the life he lived.
I knew almost immediately the impact Dustin Transou was having on my 12 year old daughter. See, we have always listened to all kinds of music, so when she started playing Michael Jackson & The Avett Brothers (to name just a few), I didn't question it. But as she started playing these songs more & more frequently, I realized that he was opening her eyes even wider than I had. It's a Great Day to be Alive was one of his favorite songs & he played it all the time for the kids.
With his passing, those songs played on a constant loop for her.
So in honor of his birthday... It's a Great Day to be Alive
