when I was young I listen to the radio, waiting for my favorite song..
My father loved oldies, I loved that too. I used to remember very well the lyrics, not anymore..
My father passed away when I was 17, trying to be strong and feeling the need to take care of my mother, I pretended it’s no big deal.. actually it was damn painful.
One of the way I coped with that was to forget about what my father loved to do.. sounds stupid but at that moment I was all clueless and confused. One of the things that I never touched again was oldies..
Now I was not 17 anymore, I know how to cope with things much better. Sometimes I will think of ‘what will it be if my father is still here’ but that is merely a thought..
A few months back, I started picking up my harmonica again, I sux.. but I vowed to play it well, just like my old man. I am thinking of buying some CDs too, yupe oldies. I bought my first ever camera a few months ago, I snapped around 1000 photos since then, lol my father loved photography.
The fact is that I lost my father for 9 years, I buried our memories for almost 9 years.. time to let it be. I will be who I want to be, I will do things that I love to, everything including those that my father shared the passion with me.
I will always love you, old man.. and I will always make you proud.

The Carpenters are awesome. I’m sure your old man is smiling down on you as you attempt the harmonica

My old man.. he is probably laughing out loud and yelling to me “Boy You Sux!”
