R.I.P. Mindy McCready (November 30, 1975 – February 17, 2013)
“Heaven help me to be strong
I can fight all that I’m feeling
But I can’t do it alone
Help me break this spell that I’m under
Guide my feet and hold me tight
I need ten thousand angels
Watching over me tonight.”
Ten Thousand Angels, Sung by Mindy McCready, Written by Steven Dale Jones & Billy Henderson (1996)
It always breaks my heart when people so young and beautiful and talented think they have nothing to live for. 😦
She had tried to commit suicide several times before. Apparently no one could get through to her and convince her that her life was worth living. So sad. I remember when her songs were on the radio all the time. The one I featured in my post is on one of my favorite country mix tapes.
