Story behind the song
"As a mother and grandmother, Andria Hill-Lehr writes about her eldest son''s decision to join Cadets, then Reserves, and then to be deployed to Afghanistan in 2006. From the time she learned of his decision, throughout his deployment and after his return home, whether speaking publicly or privately, Hill-Lehr has emphasised that unconditional love and support for her son is not synonymous with support for the political agenda behind Canada''s presence in Afghanistan -- an idea that is gaining momentum through an organization that Hill-Lehr co-chairs, called Military Communities Speak Out."
