When i write about experience i write about for example my friend's dad who died in cancer.

God bless you! :)

I guess i'm sort of like Torsten Borg.
I write about the loss of my G/F and the nurses that took care of me and also I write songs about people I see that have no home,no family.
My Mom is in a nursing home and she really does not know who I am.
She loved the JD song Sun Shine on My Shoulders.
I can't play that the way is was done by professionals but I can sort of play it sloppy so I got my friend to back me up and we both played and I sung.
It was hard to hold the tears back when I saw her crying but I almost died 7 months ago and it's been some time since I saw her.
Nurses canot get to close to patients so they are always switching but one got close to me and everything worked out OK but last year a Drunk took her away from me.
I Tortured Myself writing songs about her.
Then another Nurse told me I have to let go but I hear songs she liked.
So for some like me it's rough.
I just try to go with the flow because some day will be my turn in the box.
