“We toured for ten years. I imply, we weren’t house for greater than a month, most likely, a yr. So, for me, I simply felt actually blessed to be pregnant and to be in a spot the place I might keep house if I needed to, and actually ask that query: how is that this gonna change my priorities? How is that this gonna look? We had just a few issues occur that basically introduced that message house, however the one which hit the toughest was the loss of life of our sound engineer [Rich Caldwell]. We did one final present with FLYLEAF as a profit for his spouse Katy and their son Kirby. And it was actually laborious to do a present with out him, and it was actually laborious to suppose it may very well be our final present. So I bear in mind taking a look at my son after Wealthy had handed and simply questioning to myself, if this was the final yr I had with my son, how would I spend it?

“It was actually wonderful to acknowledge this season altering in my life and the liberty that I used to be gonna have the ability to concentrate on my household. And I am so grateful for that point. And though it was actually laborious, I am grateful. And that is the rationale I stepped down from FLYLEAF.”
