    I remember playing this song about midnight Dec 1998 Christmas Eve after I heard my auntie had a stroke. A very kind friend lent me his vehicle from K country to Calgary to meet with family and I played the Rankins cd over and over and it gave me strength on that drive. The majestic mountains, silent road, stars in the sky. Only one on the road until the highway to the hospital. I still feel the same goosebumps and like I am back on that drive when I hear this song. My auntie did pass 4 days later. I am grateful I put family 1st as the fancy hotel didn't take kindly to me leaving the moment I heard at Xmas. Thank you to the Rankins for their talents. I have always loved they shared it with the world and have provided healing, dance and being proud to be Canadian and a Maritimer. ❤

    I grew up in a pretty turbulent home environment when I was a child. My one escape was seeing my counselor Kate who would take me to go ride horses, explore nature, and take time out of my crappy life as a kid to appreciate the true beauty in this world. At the end of our sessions together while she drived me back home, we would always listen to this song on repeat. Thank you Kate & The Rankin Family. Much love and appreciation. - Tim
    Update: It is with profound sadness that I must share that I was informed that Kate passed away on 10/14/22, just days after her 80th birthday. I can only say that her passing feels like a bright light of hope and love has been taken from this world. Anyone who knew Kate would tell you that if Kate knew you, she loved you. There are so few people in this world who have had the positive impact on young and old alike like Kate did. Kate changed lives. She left the world better than she found it. For that, my heart is a little lighter knowing that her beautiful soul is looking down from above. Now she gets to experience her love of nature from a different perspective - and what a better place to do it than in an eternal paradise? I am not writing this because I love Kate Kaster, but because Kate Kaster loved me. She will be with me always, and I hope I can live long enough to make her proud and give it my all to be the kind of loving and caring soul she was so that perhaps one day I would be able to hug her again.

    In 2005 we drove the Ceildh Trail on Cape Breton Island and came to the little village of Mabou, home of The Rankin family. Wonderful, we could take home a Rankin treasure from the very town they grew up. We stopped at their only store - The General Store - and proudly walked in asking the owner for a Rankin CD to take back to the west coast of Canada. The lady was bemused. She told us, if want a Rankin CD you will have to drive to Halifax to get it.
    But we fondly remember Michael Enright's very poignant interview with Raylene on the Sunday Morning edition of CBC Radio program in June 2012, just a few months before she died. Out of that, we have Raylene's final tribute to all of us - her CD - All the Diamonds.
    Indeed the family is a Canadian treasure and always will be.

My ex-husband is dying from ALS and has recently chosen medically assisted suicide, to take place in 2 days time. The song seemed like it was sent from heaven. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

But I and you cannot understand the actions of one who attacked our citizens. Our history told us of the resilience of the Acadians, the Compassion and Willingness to help their fellow man. My heart like many others hurts but we will overcome. We will never allow another's actions to take away from who we are. Today is a wee bit better than yesterday, tomorrow will be a bit better. Please feel free to join in and sing this together for we are one. ............Nova Scotia Canada stands with you. May Gods Peace, Comfort Be with you all. In Jesus name. Amen.
