To Everything, turn, turn, turn...

A year ago something happened that changed my life completely. It rocked my foundations. It shook my world. A year ago and so much has happened... to not only my world but to myself as well... and I dont know quite exactly how to finish that sentence... so I leave you with this: to the man who was my harshest critic and my most loving supporter I miss you every single day that God creates for me... but I am learning to think of my loss as a gain because now you are everywhere around me... as Cookie told me the day you passed on ""life is one long roda. and now your dad will always be part of your axe." and i know you wait for me around every turn of my life's roda...

Last year during his mass, we showed a video that chronicled his life... I picked out "Here Comes the Sun" by The Beatles to be the accompanying music to the video... because my dad loved The Beatles... and also because while we mourned his passing, we also chose to celebrate his life.


Here comes the sun,
here comes the sun
And I say
it's all right

Little darlin'
it's been a long cold lonely winter
Little darlin'
it feels like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun,
here comes the sun
And I say
it's all right

Little darlin'
the smiles returning to their faces
Little darlin'
it seems like years since it's been here

Here comes the sun,
here comes the sun
And I say
it's all right

Sun, sun, sun,
here it comes
Sun, sun, sun,
here it comes
Sun, sun, sun,
here it comes
Sun, sun, sun,
here it comes
Sun, sun, sun,
here it comes

Little darlin'
I feel the ice is slowly meltin'
Little darlin'
it seems like years since it's been clear

Here come the sun,
here comes the sun
And I say
it's all right

Here come the sun,
here comes the sun
It's all right,
it's all right

I will always always always love you. Thank you... for 27 years of your you-ness... which has, in turn, helped me become who I continue to become.
