I Miss My Dad

On my own, driving between work appointments, this song comes on the car radio today. I had to pull over and console myself. It brought back so many good childhood memories of a happy holiday.

Just like that, out of the blue.

I don’t mean to sound strange but the same thing happens to my family as I lost my brother when I was 16 so we often here the same songs played at his funeral. It doesn’t make me sad anymore as I look at it as if he’s thinking of me or looking down on me.

@SW-User I get that. This was completely out of the blue and floored me. A sudden rush of extreme happiness followed by rapid memories from the road trip and then sadness and then the reality that he's been gone 15 years.

@SW-User I'm sorry about your bro x

I am sure you feel him around you and it just takes a song like this to remind you that he is always with you.

@Rusham thanks

This song?? What holiday?

Ironicman · 56-60, M

@SW-User it was a family summer holiday in the mid 70s. My Dad loved the song and when I heard it earlier he was in the car with me today, smiling and singing. Bit weird I know. Funny how memories flood back and engulf you

@Ironicman I have a few of those songs too

I’m sure it was a good time back then. Take care!

@SW-User Cheers and yes they were. All good. Hope you're keeping well

I remember the song well. This happens to me quite a lot too.

It's 31 years next week since I list my dad.

Hugs x🤗
