🌟 I wasn’t ready for what the universe dropped on me this week, giving me goosebumps writing this… here’s the crazy, fantastic, weird story of me feeling my Dad tremendously close this week!
The kind of close that makes you stop in the cold morning air and just breathe him in, the kind of close you feel when a horse lifts its head and looks past you, like it sees someone you can’t. And then, out of nowhere, this e-mail arrives… telling me ‘Climb This Mountain’, the song I wrote for him during his hardest battle, became a finalist in the global Parkinsong competition of the World Parkinson Disease Coalition.
All final round songs will end up on a compilation album, with a release show at the World Parkinson Congress 2026, taking place in Phoenix, Arizona, including a request to perform! The voting’s still open (simply give the official video a like on Youtube, link in the comments, link to the WPC 2026 and to the Parkinsong Contest as well!), ‘Climb This Mountain’ in the lead position in the finals so far!
But here’s the twist that gave me chills: I never submitted it.
So who did?
Maybe a patient who’s fighting that same battle?
Maybe a caretaker who recognized the truth in that song?
Maybe a Dad who still moves mountains in ways I’ll never fully understand?
What I know is this: with every listen, every vote, every heart touched… it all carries my Dad’s legacy and his story forward. And that’s the kind of miracle you don’t take lightly. ✨
It’s one of those moments where the universe taps you on the shoulder a little harder than usual. That’s not random. That’s not coincidence. That’s the kind of thing that makes you stop in your tracks on the ranch road with goosebumps all over! It’s a moment wrapped in something bigger than us. 💖🙏
