21 Years" is a song I wrote about the recent passing of my firstborn
son, Truett Foster McKeehan. I loved him with all my heart. Until something in life hits you this hard, you never know how
you will handle it. I am thankful that I have been surrounded by love, starting with God's and extending to community near
and far that have walked with us and carried us every day. Writing this song felt like an honest confession of the questions,
pain, anger, doubt, mercy and promise that describes the journey I'm probably only beginning. The rest is yet to come. One
thing I know is that I am not alone. God didn't promise us a life of no pain or even tragic death, but He did promise He would
never leave us or forsake us. And I'm holding dearly to that promise for my son as well as myself.
