I found this song on YouTube one day, after I listened to it, I was just wandering around and saw this video. I thought the pictures in the video would explain better who Taylor Swift sang this song to, and why. The song reminds me of my grandpa. My grandpa died at the age of 77, because of blood cancer in 2007, which happened to be when I was only in 3rd grade. He was also one of the soliders in the Vietnam war against the French and survived home, but from then on, he got weaker, and that was when he was around 30-40. Grandpa was the nicest person in the family, I'd say. He was always there for me and cheer me up whenever there was something depressing me. He also covered for me whenever mommy yells at me if I do anything wrong. He helped me survive in the house, a lot of times. My house isn't a peaceful place. At ALL. There were usually fights, between my siblings, my parents, and all. But grandpa told me it wouldn't matter, and the fact that my family is always like that, will change. My grandpa encouraged me a lot through all that 8 years I've been sharing with him. I want to dedicate this song to him, and wish that he's safe and sound up there, in heaven. Even though Taylor Swift sang this song for those who had relatives who were in the war, or maybe those who that was involved in the Japan earthquake, ect... but to me, the lyrics sounds mostly like the relationship between grandpa and me, since when I was only a little kid.
