…my father who passed from this life into the next 15 years ago today. The song that I’m sharing is one I wrote, inspired by words he whispered in my ear as I was leaving home and saying my tearful goodbyes many, many years ago.
Though Dad was not prone to emotion and mostly kept all his feelings under wraps, I’ll always remember what he said to me that day. Not only was I troubled with my goodbyes that day, but he was, too. The moment only lasted seconds but live on in the sacred places of my heart…two who often were at odds, finding a commonality in their grief and learning that the deeper bond of a father and daughter might get stretched at times, but could never be broken.
