Singing

Dad always loved to sing and it would not take too much to talk him into doing this. I think I inherited that from him. There were countless mornings when all of us kids would have a gleeful awakening with Dad singing "Rise and shine and give god your glory, glory" and countless nights in the pool singing "Tiny Bubbles". We all had our special song that he would sing to us, mine being "Oh Danny Boy". He continued this to the next generation as well. With our children he wrote his own songs. Ashley, Molly, and Seth had the opportunity to be serenaded on many occasions. Dana and I are heart broken that Chase and Sophia will not have that same wonderful opportunity with their Papa. I could not count how many times Dad and I would go to karaoke. He would sing "What a Wonderful World" and the entire place would be lite up, either that or just a proud son's heart. All of the songs that are playing on the blog were songs that Dad sang throughout our childhood and he encouraged us to sing with him.
It has been 4 weeks since dad passed away. Although he is gone, I can feel his spirit when that special song is played.
