I've never really had a specific favorite genre for music as I find myself vibing to different ones as I grew, from the classic country music my dad loved playing from his old stereo as a young girl, I guess listening to them often made me grow a liking to it, the likes of Dolly Paton, Don Williams, has been my all-time favorite through every stage of growth till date, then R&B took over during my teenage years and trust me it lasted too, I'm not so good with this genre thing, one thing I know for is that what I listen to must have an inspiring meaning if it doesn't connect with me, there is no how it will make it to my playlist.
I never knew it could be difficult to select a favorite song for Dreem WoTW, I took a calm breath and let my spirit decide and the one song that came to me is the very one I've had on repeat for few weeks now, it is no coincident that I even made a cover of this very song for Hive learners last creative Sunday edition, a song by R-Kelly titled "The storm is Over"
This song has been and it still is my comforter when I go through difficult situations and it seems like there is no end to it, it assures me that no matter how dark it feels, there is going to be light at the end of the tunnel, no storm last forever, it's gonna be over soon.
The storm
It was my 3rd third year of marriage blessed with beautiful princess, healthy and a bouncing baby, the storm started after her 7th month, my once chubby baby began losing weight and would throw up after every feed, as a mother I was so worried, because I had already taken her to the hospital and different medication was prescribed, instead of getting better her health dwindled further, I would cry day and night and even blame myself for not being a good enough mother even though I did all my best to be there for her, even quitted my job at some point,I couldn't take it any longer when she stopppped breastfeeding and couldn't take solid either because she ends up vomiting all, one day during one of my numerous hospital visit, a kind nurse secretly refereed me to a better hospital with specialist rather then continue spending money at the hospital she works, I heed to her advise, my daughter retook all test again, and finally the cause of her ill health was discovered and given the right treatment and that was when the storm of so many month became over, even though she spent her one year old birthday at the hospital, I'm happy she is healthy and almost 6 years now, I remember playing R-Kelly's storm Is over during her yeo month admission in the hospital, so its more like a miracle song and a companion to me now.
Remember where I said every song olds a special meaning to me, now, no matter what storm I face, I know that it's gonna be over someday, just stay strong and believe, it surely will be over.
