Daddy songs and words...

The memories will always be there ... my Dad passed away 24 years ago and I still hear his voice sometimes at night when I start to drift off or when I wake up. Those are good moments.

Yea Hoax, its no easier now than it was 9 years ago.. I never have to look at a picture of him, all I have to do is close my eyes and I see him just like he was standing in front of me....

As far as people passing away, my Mom will be the toughest besides my wife and son... Moms are the best!!!

My second father's day without him...
Damn, I found the Father's Day card I never gave him.
A Hallmark music card...it plays


He had a drawer full of untouchable treasures.

I cleaned it out and learned more about the man I called Daddy.
I found the newspaper clipping from a snow storm that mentioned me, not by name but by occupation, the only female Coca-Cola driver in the area.
I never thought he knew very much about me or even, for all that mattered, cared enough to know me.
A few days before he left us, he was in good spirits, he told the Hospice nurse that my favorite show was "Ice Road Truckers." I loved watching it with him on his new flat screen HD.

Most of all, I wasn't always a good girl. I would have bloody screaming fights with him. They always ended with me slamming my bedroom door and cranking my favorite Styx album loud.
Very loud.
I cranked the Crystal Ball album loud to piss him off.

When the needle made it to, This Old Man, I finally, after years or door slamming, understood that this song was about him.

What I didn't know, he loved Clair De Lune / Ballerina and never complained about me cranking the music. Thus, I failed at pissing him off...damn, if I only knew that then.



I listened to this over and over when he left us...


I have one regret. He did not know I was dx'd with MS. I told him the day before he died. This was selfish of me. I made myself feel better by telling him when he was beyond understanding.

Thank you Dad

For waking up every morning when it was still dark outside and going to work, while we slept in our warm beds.

For teaching me how to pray.

For coming to all my Little League games and for keeping quiet when other fathers wouldn't.

For loving my mother with all your heart.

For cooking me cheeseburgers.

For building that voice inside me that said "no" when I was tempted to get in a car after I had been drinking.

For giving me a hug when I badly needed one.

For picking me up from the train station at night when I was afraid to walk home.

For smiling often.

For helping me buy my first car.

Thank you, More, for ripping a new set of tears from my heart.
Thank you for reminding me of the simple things Daddy did for me.
Thank you for adding your words!!!

Oh Daddy,
You know you make me cry,
How can you love me,
I don't understand why.

Oh Daddy,
If I can make you see,
If there's been a fool around,
It's got to be me.

Oh Daddy,
You soothe me with your smile,
You're letting me know,
You're the best thing in my life.

Oh Daddy,
If I can make you see,
If there's been a fool around,
It's got to be me.

Why are you right when I'm so wrong,
I'm so weak but you're so strong,
Everything you do is just alright,
And I can't walk away from you, baby
If I tried.

Its great to see how big all your hearts are.
My dad used to sing me a song .
10 men slept in a boardinghouse bed roll over roll over
they'd all roll over when anyone said roll over roll over
the man in the middle thought he'd play a joke
and he didn't roll over when anyone spoke
and in the next shuffle he got his neck broke roll over roll over

NOW GO TO SLEEP!

It's not really a song but the kids book "I Love You Forever" has a repetetive phrase that my mom set to music and my wife and I often sing to our kids. "I love you forever, I like you for always as long as I'm living my baby you'll be."

OK, I'm one of those people who really loved the youthful Wayne Newton and his many musical talents. Saw him twice in Vegas....once around Elvis's time and once after Elvis died. His voice is raspy and disappearing. He has money troubles. His plastic surgeon should return Wayne's money!

At this stage in his life, he should be riding his Arabians all day (and his horses too). I think he messed up when he bought that casino......losing proposition.
