On the anniversary of my father passing 13th September

DANCE WITH MY FATHER..LUTHER VANDROSS

Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me and then


Spin me around till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure
I was loved


If I could get another chance
Another walk, another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
How I'd love, love, love to dance with my father again



When I and my mother would disagree
To get my way I would run from her to him
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me,
Then finally make me do just what my mama said


Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he
Would be gone from me


If I could steal one final glance
One final step, one final dance with him
I'd play a song that would never, ever end
Cause I'd love, love, love to dance with my father
again


Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
And I'd hear her, mama cryin for him
I pray for her even more than me
I pray for her even more than me


I know I'm prayin for much too much
But could You send back the only man she loved
I know You don't do it usually
But Lord, she's dyin to dance with my father again
Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream

Thanks my friend. They say time heals but I miss him so much. I put this here because I'm miles away from his grave at the moment.

time does heal, its been 44 years since my dad passed.....and I think of him everyday.....its just a little easier.

he would be so proud of you, all the things you have done in your life, your accomplishments, your pride, doing things sometimes you don't want to do, loving and cherishing your family, taking care of all the animals and he would love how you take care of Peter.

you have also survived many ups and downs, and look what your doing now?


- your dad is so proud of you.

Oh Julie

That is indeed beautiful. It's hard to lose one's parents and you remember always....the pain just fades away a bit.

September 13th is my Mom's birthday, and it is also a hard day to deal with due to her passing.

We'll have to cry together tomorrow and remember them with love

Your Dad was a special man

Thankyou Kathy
He'd be saying right now 'For heavens sake girl, pull yourself together and don't make so much fuss' British war time stiff upper lip and all that.

I will private message you tomorrow on their anniversay's Kathy

44 years or 1 year.... It's hard when It was your father.

There is a story to his last moments but I can't post them here anymore.

He was a very Political person and what I am trying to do right now would have pleased him i know. When my eldest brother heard what I was doing, he said 'I wish Father could have seen It' and that meant the world to me.

May your father smile down from heaven on you today, oscar.

Thankyou he knew he was dying and he left a poem with a picture of himself when he was young in his pilots uniform.
He also left us all the same hand written note that he addressed 'To my wife and children'

"Please forgive me for all the things I should have said when I did not say them.
Please forgive me for all the things I did say when I should not have said them...Dad. "
