My "Daddy" and I have an awkward relationship but music is something that does bind us.<br />I love this song so much, it was what I was learning when I "gave up" on the piano 7 years ago. Alas, piano is something that I love but never have been consistant with it - even in childhood. <br />This song is a very difficult for me cause my hands are small and cramp on those stretching chords but you have inspired me to try again with the hopes that the new baby down there will hear it and grow to love music like my other children.<br />Thank you so much for this post - I have been away with all day morning sickness for almost a month now and just reviewed many of your recent posts - they are simply lovely and I find myself lacking in the crown department!

I agree with you about the strength music ...Anita, <br />I agree with you about the strength music has on our lives and how a certain chord or song can evoke certain embedded emotions in our hearts. My family is a very musical family. I am thankful for the musical influence in my life. I love to sing, especially with other people because I love harmonies. Music touches a part of the soul that nothing else can reach.à la parisiennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08610939439087475827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1867713086151020546.post-87413356863268441322009-06-14T10:59:43.916-07:002009-06-14T10:59:43.916-07:00Quick sidebar.

I SO loved your post and am still listenin...Anita, <br />I SO loved your post and am still listening to the wonderful music this somewhat lazy Sunday morning.<br />I cried tears of gratitude and tears of regret over the "Daddies" in my life. <br /><br />I never knew my biological father. Apparently the handsome Irish cad was deemed unworthy of parternal tendencies by my mother prior to my arrival on this earthly plain. <br /><br />Ten years ago, I learned of my lineage through the help of the Internet and traced two unknown half-sisters in both Ireland and Germany. I savored the information they provided me about our mutual father, grandmother and our Irish heritage. Their childhoods held fond memories of our father, but also a lot of sadness and insecurities. <br /><br />In reflection,I didn't always approve of my adoptive dad's antics, but in retrospect he gave me all any father could. Security, confidence, attention and oh so fond childhood experiences. And although he has been gone for years, I hope he knows how much I came to appreciate him. <br /><br />And in retrospect, perhaps my mother did know what she was doing all those years ago. I lost my dear mother this last year at almost 91 years of age. She too provided me with her rich family culture of our Dutch and German anscestry and wrote a little book about her coming to America as a girl of 13 in 1929.. <br /><br />Family is precious, wherever you find yours! Thanks again for sharing.<br /><br />ShellShellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00235816224639707484noreply@blogger.com
