Simply beautiful. The relationship between parent and child can walk a tightrope of tension—-and more importantly, love. Your piece is a tribute to that balance as well as your understanding of how it is a part of all who witness it. Thank you for your words.
Short but really beautiful. Paints a clear, bitter sweet picture. I remember my father hating the Beatles; just totally disgusted with my infatuation. Yet he took me to Woolworth’s to buy the 45. I think it was I Want To Hold Your Hand. He was a Sinatra man through and through. Even dressed and lived the boozy life like him. A man’s man. About the age of 45, I started to appreciate The Standards - music of the Sinatra era. Now at 66, I absolutely love The Standards and listen almost exclusively to Serious Sinatra on Sirius XM. Yet I still continue to love the Beatles and all the classic rock and roll of my generation.
