I was unfamilar with the video. I am familar with the death of a father. Blessings, my very dear friend.
A lovely gesture.
I know how you feel .. my dad died 42 years ago.. miss him lots .
Thank you, dear Nick. Your understsnding means a lot. Thank you, LindyLouMac.
Beautiful lyrics and poignant memories, for you, Welshcakes. My thoughts are with you. Un abbraccio da Londra,x
I'm writing my memoirs because I still miss my defunct parents. There isn't a day that I don't think about them.
I remember your kind words to me last January when I was reminiscing about the death of my Father(who died prematurely in the 70's) so I more than sympathise with you.
Never seen that video you shared before. Personally I can never hear a recording of Eddie Calvert's "Oh mein papa" without breaking my heart.
What a beautiful tribute to your father. May you be blessed for your memory of him. I understand you missing him. The older I get, the lonelier I am for my parents. So much I would want to say that I wasn't able to, or didn't know, in my youth. Do you think they read in our heart, Welshcakes?
Thank you, amethyst. I feel the same, lakeviewer. Thank you, dear friend DD. Thanks, Claudia. Yes, I think it becomes more difficult, in a way, as we grow older ourselves, because there is so much more that we understand about our parents now. I'm not religious but I think they are with us.
Ps - DD: That song just breaks my heart.
My thoughts are with you xx I don't know how I am going to cope and feel when the inevitable happens.
Thanks, Cherie. We cope because we have to but it doesn't hurt any less because we are adults. I can only urge you to make the most of every moment you have with your parents, which I'm sure you do.
