LAST WORDS

A friend posted a blog today about some firsts and lasts that she is dealing with in her life. Just this weekend I had a first and a last. Anyone who knows me is aware that my father passed away almost a month ago. I met a friend this weekend to help me go through some of my dad's things. My dad has been in a band and making music for as long as I can remember. There is an old barn they transformed into a music studio where they could record music. Well I came across a CD this weekend marked "BARN SESSIONS". We put it in the CD player and my dad's voice came out loud and clear. That was the first moment I realized that I would never hear my dad's voice again except on that CD. Tears began to flow uncontrollably. I can't quit listening to those 5 songs over and over...crying the whole time.

  1. What a hard last. I am so glad you have that recording. My dad has one of my grandfather making notes for his route on a voice recorder...he vended for Dr Pepper. They are a precious treasure.
