April 1 earworm. In memory of Dad .......
As sung by Gary Morris

"Wind Beneath My Wings"

It must have been cold there in my shadow
To never have sunlight on your face
You were content to let me shine
That's your way
You always walked a step behind

So I was the one with all the glory
While you were the one with all the strain
A beautiful face without a name
For so long
A beautiful smile to hide the pain

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
And everything I would like to be
I can fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings

It might have appeared to go unnoticed
But I've got it all here in my heart
I want you to know, I know the truth
Of course I've known it
I would be nothing without you

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything I wish I could be
I can fly higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings

Did you ever know that you're my hero?
You're everything, everything I wish I could be
Oh and I, I can higher than an eagle
For you are the wind beneath my wings

16. Amazing Grace in Cherokee
is the most beautiful song I've ever heard. I'm not a religous person but my dad was and this was my request at his funeral, he loved the song and the Cherokee rendition. I tear up thinking about it. He was born in 1897

17. made me cry
It is my song for my sisters - living, but 2600 miles away. We are as close as three women can possibly be.

I am sorry for your missing your dad. My sisters are living, but I understand the deep, painful ache.

22. How beautiful, SA
What a sweet way to remember your father.

The 27th of March was the 29th anniversary of my father's death (he was only 43). I still miss him.
