My dad died Sept.1, 2009. He is so missed. In honor of dad I decided to make all my siblings birthday gifts this year. For my 4 brothers it was a CD of father/son songs. I also put on the cover a sweet picture of each of them with dad. The songs were: Cat's in the Cradle(Harry Chapin), My Father's Eyes(Eric Clapton), My Father's Son(Joe Cocker), In the Living Years(Mike and the Mechanics), Leader of the Band(Dan Fogelberg), and Father and Son(Cat Stevens). For my darling sisters, a collage on canvas:
My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it. |
I have one more gift for sister Maggie in November.
How about Steve Earle's great song, "I Feel Alright"?
