One year. We lost my dad exactly one year ago today. It still doesn’t feel real. Thank you to everyone who called and messaged. It meant more than I can express. It’s so strange how grief has tinted the last two months in particular. My dad went into the hospital the week of Christmas, 2021.
December, you used to be my favorite. But the last few days, man. It’s uncanny how things find you at certain moments in your life. Eerie. My parents didn’t often play music at home or in the car, preferring to chat on long car rides, but I do remember certain soundtracks of my childhood. My dad playing Billy Joel’s “River of Dreams.” All the late 80s, early 90s Elton… and then when Charlotte Church burst on the scene, I remember listening to her perform “Pie Jesus” and feeling chills. I couldn’t even say how I found myself playing her album “Voice of An Angel” this morning but I was belting out the high notes and thinking about what the words meant as I let the weight of life lately wash over me. It was like being back at mass on Sunday morning. Do you have songs that just find you when you need them? This one really came out of nowhere. I don’t think I’ve listened to this in 20 years. But it is like a salve for where I am today.
Celebrating 12 years since that chilly day. 💍
