Subject: RE: Don't You Just LOVE It When.................?
This has nothing much to do with music..........

Yeah, I love it when one of my sons snuggles up beside me and says, "I love you Dad."

I didn't marry til I was 36 and we adopted our first at age 42. At 43 I quit my job and took on the new career as Dad and househusband. Karen and I had also been fostering for several years as we still do. When I left my job with a Fortune 500 with a resignation letter stating that I didn't want my life, or my son's, to wind up like a Harry Chapin song lyric, I'm sure the company had NO idea what I was talking about. Outside of marrying Karen, it was the best decision I ever made.

The words are but words...the feelings are real. Nothing quite equals, "I love you Dad." So thanks Harry, for the lyric...and the truth.
