The music from the film 1960 film, The Unforgiven, is one such piece of music. Unfortunately I have been unable to find a recording of it. It takes me back to the time my first marriage broke up and I lost my daughter and son to a husband who had left me and wanted revenge for some unspoken and unknown 'crime' he felt I had committed, He didn't really want them himself and gave them to his mother to adopt!
The music is so very poignant and emotional for me because they were on an LP I played over and over again at the time. I cannot stop the music once it begins to play, nor do I want to, because it reminds me of how close I was to my children then, and how much I have lost.
How did I manage to forgive him all those years later when, as a member of AA, he asked my forgiveness for his behaviour? Sometimes I think I forgave him too easily but then, there was no way to change the past, and no way I could recover the lost years.
