The Year Of Firsts

My brother's family is into their year of firsts. My nephew had his first birthday without his Mom. Today is her first birthday in glory, their first without her. Two weekends ago was the first time we went to the Midland fair without her. Last weekend was the first time we had our kids photographed without her. Soon will come the first day of school, their anniversary, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and birthdays. Each will be a milestone, each will have their own particular hollow feeling, another reminder of the loss. For her birthday, they are going to be looking for the right headstone for her. We are trying to make this transition as smooth as possible, but mostly that is distraction through being with them and love. But now the reality of the situation is becoming more understandable for the kids. For now we can still hear her voice, still think of it as Scott & Pam's house (but trying not to slip and say it around them), but memories will fade.

I felt the need to make a CD for my bro. I don't know how good it will be for him, but maybe it can provide a soundtrack for mourning, reminders of comfort and hope, and provide an expression to feeling. Here is the songlist and artists, you can find the lyrics online for the most part to get the message and maybe flow of the CD. My question is what songs would you put on/want on a CD like this? Many of mine will be obscure, and probably unfamiliar, but what ones did I miss? If you have time and interest let me know what you think.
