It's like our own personal "Family Anthem" - On the way to the cemetery to lay my Daddy to rest forever in PEACE, this song came to mind and my daughter and niece played it on their cell phones for My Mother, Brother and Myself. Only a couple of things needed to be changed, hopefully my Daddy never had a girlfriend in another town (you never know) and my Mother has sewn for a living since she was a teenager; the rest is "The Story of Our Lives" So Amazing - My Daddy passed away on Christmas Eve 2017; the funeral had to be postponed for a couple of days because of the Holiday's - I am certain he celebrated the BEST CHRISTMAS EVER' BECAUSE I HAVE NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT HE MET JESUS, WHAT AN AMAZING GIFT. HOWEVER, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE A HUGE VOID IN MY HEART UNTIL I TAKE MY LAST BREATH. I am the oldest child and the only daughter; there is nothing stronger than a love between a Daddy and a Daughter - he was far from perfect, however he was the perfect Daddy for me - none of us are without faults. Thank you for writing a song that is so very TRUE. It has given me laughter during some of the worse grief I have ever experienced. Laughter is supposed to be good for the SOUL and this definitely did the job. I had experienced the lost a 19 year old child, a brother who was almost five years younger than myself and many other family members as well as close friends. but losing my Daddy hit me so hard and there isn't a day that passes that I do not think of him. I hope he knows how much I love him. No doubt Life and Time does March On no matter how challenging it can be, the world keeps moving no matter what your story may be . . . Sad but True! Thank you for the PEACE it brought to me.
