Subject: RE: Simply AMAZing - kat's dad says thanks!
treasure those special moments with your dad- i am happy for you that you can connect this way! My dad used to enjoy making music, but for the last 15 years of his life, that joy was stolen from him by a disabling stroke. I do have a 78 record of him singing, among other things Ash Grove, and the line " a host of kind faces is gazing on me, the friends of my childhood again are before me" has an eerie quality enters this song when I listen now that he is gone: "I find other faces fond bending to greet me" didn't hit home til after he died! enjoy life while you can!
