I’ve never heard this song before today, and it completely opened the floodgates of emotion on me.
My parents live almost 4 hours away from me, and it’s getting more difficult to be this far away from them. Phone calls from their doctors about their health and potential mental decline got me really thinking about my dad, in particular.
He just had a driving evaluation, and can longer drive at night or more than 45 miles, so the RV they own needs to be sold (he doesn’t really care to drive it anymore, anyways). He’s fairly health, otherwise, but every time I seen him, he looks a bit older and slower. He celebrated his 83rd birthday this year.
I’m so glad I’ll get to see him again in 2 days.
For some reason, this song about a son’s reflections on his father really got to me today. Are there any other songs by JC that are this emotional?
