  I lost my niece who was a daughter to me 10 months ago. She was only 17. I stumbled upon 'Running to the Sea' and 'Something in my Heart' by mere chance. These two songs kept me from losing it. Thank you. Never stop doing what you love.

  The symbolism in this video is mind blowing. &nbsp;Three parts to pay attention to: The old man, the dog, the birds.<br>The old man is a symbol of the god Odin, often depicted as an old man with a beard carrying a spear (or in this case, a gun). He presided over the land of Valhalla.<br>Odin was often accompanied by a wolf.<br>The birds symbolize Huginn and Muninn, which are a pair of ravens. Their names translate as &quot;thought&quot; (Huginn) and &quot;memory&quot; (Muninn). Every morning, the two ravens would set out and fly all over the world. Every night they would return to Odin and bring him knowledge and news from his kingdom.<br><br>In the Poetic Edda, Odin expresses concern that the birds will not come back from their daily flight. I believe this video is about that. The old man&apos;s daughter has died. The song is from the voice of the daughter/bird, trying to tell him what she remembers from her flight. She remembers the flash of white, turning to black, and being pulled out to sea. She remembers her death.<br><br>But the old man doesn&apos;t want to accept that, and every day he sets out to look for her. You&apos;ll notice that the first bird in the video immediately catches his attention, only to be followed by a look of disappointment. Just like Odin in Edda, every parent fears for the safety of their children. The old man doesn&apos;t want to accept that the worst has happened, so every night, he returns to his throne, watching and hoping for her return. His faithful wolf remains at his side, but he his lost without his birds who brought him knowledge and memories. The bird is herself now just a memory, and the great Odin is now a broken man.

  In memory of my very brave friend Evita Fytrou. <br>Evita &nbsp;lost tragically her life among 102 &nbsp;people on &nbsp;Monday July 23 2018 in Mati, Greece after witnessing the death of her father and her little brother in the fire. <br>She was running towards the sea &nbsp;in order to save herself from the flames and lost her life by falling from a cliff. Did the smoke blinded her and thought she would fall in the water? Did she jump to her death in order to end the pain? Uguess we will never know. One thing is for sure, I won&apos;t forget you Evita. <br>My deepest respect to anyone who lost a loved one in this horrible disaster. <br>This wasn&apos;t fair.<br>We can&apos;t forget this.

  As a father myself I can&apos;t imagine the pain of losing my daughter. I am forever grateful for her health and for being able to ensure her wellbeing... I fear letting her go in this utterly spoiled world when she will grow up, but it cannot be helped. Nobody tells you about the challenging feelings you experience &nbsp;as a parent. I regularly stop by here to remind myself to be grateful.

  To lose a child after all those years, the memories, times you laugh and smiled together, watch your baby grow and become an adult hopefully with dreams and life goals just to lose it all. That pain is too much to bare. To have to keep on living but always remember them. Always knew you had a child, you had someone who loved you no matter what. So painful. I can break an arm or leg of mine and it&apos;s still not as painful. Some pain just cannot be remedy because the memories are still there and something reminds you. The what if they were still alive eats at you.
