A Moment in Time
So, for a reason out of my realm of understanding, I had a song just pop into my head. After hours of listening to this tune in my head, I had to sit down and youtube it just because i needed to hear it. When the song started, in my head I could picture daddy in the dining room, the old fashion, all in one tv, stereo, record and 8 track tape, playing it. Daddy half way dancing and humming. The humming never lasted long until it reached full blown pitch. I'd usually reach the kitchen just as Dad would kiss Mom and maybe give her a playful tap on the bum. I told them how gross they were for years. And daddy's coffee, it smelled just as good in the percolator as it did from his cup and if I was lucky, a box of macaroon cookies that daddy would let me dip into his cup. Sometimes you remember so much bad stuff and you forget the things that are really important. So, the next time I hear a sound, smell a familiar smell, hear a song in my head or my name whispered in a storm, I'm going to try to not take it for granted. I won't get a second of it back, I want to remember those good things, those good feelings. I would give anything to hear Daddy shuffle across the dining room floor singing this song, even just one more time. So.. Thank you for the song Mr. Manilow, and thank you Daddy, for the very fond memories. I love you.
