    I'm going through the exact same thing, brother. Your changing of "golden" to "ebony" struck chord with me. I'd be lying if I said I didn't break down when I heard that. Raise a glass for all the broken hearts out there, mine included. Be well and march on lads

    Come over the hills, my bonny Irish lass
    Come over the hills to your darling
    You choose the rose, love, and I'll make the vow
    And I'll be your true love forever
    Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
    And fair is the lily of the valley
    Oh, and clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
    But my love is fairer than any
    'Twas down by Killarney's green woods that we strayed
    And the moon and the stars, they were shining
    Oh, the moon shone its rays on her locks of ebony hair
    And she swore she'd by my love forever
    Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
    And fair is the lily of the valley
    Oh, and clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
    But my love is fairer than any
    'Tis not for the parting that my sister pains
    'Tis not for the grief of my mother
    No, 'tis all for the loss of my bonny Irish lass
    That my heart is breaking forever
    Red is the rose that in yonder garden grows
    And fair is the lily of the valley
    Oh, and clear is the water that flows from the Boyne
    But my love is fairer than any
    But my love is fairer than any

    No one should have to feel that pain. The pain of a heart that refuses to stop beating, even when the agony of it slowly breaking is just too much. I wouldn't wish it upon anyone; not even the man who so callously broke me. My mended heart goes out to all those still suffering. You're absolutely not alone and trust me when I say your heart will start healing, my beloved broken beings. For now, its okay to be a little bit in pieces. You'll need those broken bits when you decide you're ready to build yourself back up. Hold strong, my dear ones. You're worth more than what the lowest opinions would have you believe. ❤

    To my friend who I've never met:
    I raise my glass of commiserations to you.
    Wear your sorrow as a badge of honor and pride. After all, could you grieve if you had not first LOVED?
    Isn't it so, that the ability to love and be loved is the greatest good, to which anyone might aspire?
    You grieve therefore you MUST have loved. And when time has softened the worst of your pain, I'm confident that you will still be capable of love and worthy of being loved.
    If you have the resolve risk your heart again, and I've no doubt that you will, the love you find will be all the sweeter for it.
    And to that end, i raise my glass to you once more. No longer with commiserations of loss, but to a tear stained, and hopeful future, made all the sweeter by the bitter paths we must sometimes walk.

      It shares the same melody as the Scottish song Loch Lomond but the lyrics base it firmly in Ireland and it was made popular in the 20th century by Irish artists such as Tommy Makem and Liam Clancy. It may have Scottish roots but in the modern era, it is universally recognized as a traditional Irish folk song.

    i broke down crying.
    i lost my best friend, my dog who was also my service dog 🐕‍🦺 🐕 November 23 2022 the day before her 6th birthday.
    it came quick and with no warning i called the vets as soon as i realized something was wrong.
    the next day at the vets i was told she had liver cancer and it spread to her kidneys and squished her intestines and some other organs.
    i was told there was no saving her and even if i had caught it sooner she still would've passed away around the same time.
    I felt my heart shatter and felt like i couldn't hear i asked the vet to repeat himself and when he left the room to get my buddy i screamed and cried. "NOT MY BABY!!!"
    Since the day she passed away in my arm's ive called her my lilly flower hear for only a day and gone the next. she never to grow grewy fur never got to really have her golden year's.
    but i treasure our last hike together.
    we went swimming she photo bombed wedding photo's and kissed a baby, she was a tru sweet heart till the very end always makeing sure no one shed a tear.
    ive called her day lilly, my lilly of the valley were we enjoyed playing.
    Her tribal name was chenoa ayasha tala mosë
    Translation. peaceful dove, little wolf. moosey.
    It's coming up on a year and ive gone from 4.5 months of non stop crying nearly every hour to grieving and crying when im reminded of her.
    this song is absolutely beautiful and exactly what i was looking for, i can close my eyes and relieve the time with my child.
    i can also feel your emotions in the song and know for different reasons you have also felt pain were you cry and grieve alot. i cant hug you in person. but take as many virtual hugs 🫂 as you need. and thank you for shareing this song. its beautiful

    Wait, this song has the same tune as the bonnie banks of loch Lomond. Is this like the Irish version and that's the scottish version?

    Alternative text of loch Lomond? Great.
    I heared this first time in Killkee where we 2 from germany found ourselfes in an Irish singalong meeting of the locals. Plus us 2 tourists by chance. That was what I remember most !
