Do concept albums still exist. Yeah kids of today have the attention span of naff all squared to listen to an album from start to finish 🤣
Losing a child young is something that is not meant to happen. My wife lost her brother and the parents ended up splitting which seems to happen quite often.

Ya man, there's still a few artists making concept records. Two of my 'recent' favourites are Nick Cave's 2019 album Ghosteen and Kendrick Lamar's 2012 album Good Kid M.A.A.D City. Very different but both brilliant.

Yes, that's for sure. We both dealt with ot very differently, I think I made myself extremely busy so that I didn't have to think about it. I tried to be strong for my wife and son who 18 months old at the time. I would cry in the car when driving places alone. It's ten years ago this year, hard to believe. Thanks for commenting and discussing it, many are afraid to, but both my wife and I prefer when people talk openly and we still celebrate her birthday every year with cake at her graveside with our boys and some extended family.

The boys (aged 6,8 and 11) say "Hi Sophia, we love you" every time we drive past the cemetery where she is buried with my Grandparents ❤️
