Happy Father's Day

While visiting my mother this weekend I saw this little device that reminded me of my daddy. He suffered from dementia and passed away January, 2014. During the time that dementia was taking its toll, he seemed to enjoy singing. My guitar and I made a CD of hymns for him to listen to. It was a quick project of 10 songs. He loved it! When we went to the hospital in January, we took this and it played many long nights for him.

Today I do miss my daddy! Say Happy Father's Day to you father!

What a beautiful tribute. Music was one of the few things that could smooth my grandmother who also suffered from dementia. Music is so powerful.

Love the composition of this as well.

What a nice tribute to your Dad! I have seen music soothe many people during trying times. Happy Father's Day to you and your dad.

How touching John. I am sure he appreciated it. I am lucky to still have my Dad around and tell him every time I can. I hope you have a great day.

@francoise Thank you Francoise. Yes and I was glad that music stayed with him. He could sing even if the words never quite came out right.
