Song For Yoda

My furry shama warrior transitioned to the light on February 28, 2017. The night we set him free during a ceremony we had to celebrate his life, I read a thank you letter to Yoda, and my husband Eric Troyer (ELO Pt. 2 and The Orchestra Starring ELO Former Members) sang through tears an original song he wrote for him as he played it on the grand piano.

It took us a full 24 months to share the song, partially due to emotions, and partially due to busy schedules. Eric recorded “Song for Yoda,” and I created a montage of memories to go along with it. And yes, those barks you hear in the recording are indeed Yoda’s play barks.🐾

In retrospect, Song for Yoda is really a song for all pets as they lay down their heads one final time.
