Today would have been my dad's 75th year on planet Earth. One thing I wish I could have done was to have created a video of him singing. Oh how he loves singing! He spent half of his retirement days with musical instruments and am sure by now he could have purchase a journeyman and taught his grandchildren to play music. When I was in 5th grade I asked him to teach me how to sing because I envied my classmates who kept humming in class. So one weekend he took out our blackboard and wrote the lyrics of a song and sang to me each line patiently. Looking back I laugh out loud at how ridiculous that moment was! It makes me admire my dad more because it is a fact that I can't sing! Can't sing by society's standard that is but I guess nature would sing along fine with me ammm errr referring to thunder and storm here LOL. May all of you feel that incomparable LOVE that only dads could give.

Oh, how beautiful! Dad is my first best buddy as well, incomparable and the love with which they nurture our soul - indescribable. I am sure you hear and treasure the music lingeringing in the memories, that is the song of life.
ReplyDeleteThis is so heartfelt. I remember my father reading this.
