And it goes fast.

Fathers Day has always been an interesting day of the year for me. 
Ever since I was a kid.  

To avoid getting too personal about it. I'll just let someone else's words and music take over. 


Putting all the vegetables away, 
That you bought at the grocery store today, 
And it goes fast, 
You think of the past,  

Suddenly everything has changed,  

Driving home the sky accelerates, 
And the clouds all form a geometric shape, 
And it goes fast, 
You think of the past,  

Suddenly everything has changed,  

Putting all the clothes you washed away, 
As you're folding up the shirts you hesitate, 
Then it goes fast, 
Think of the past,  

Suddenly everything has changed

"I read somewhere that Wayne wrote this is response to his father's death from cancer. Beautiful song about loss and going on with life."

And on a lighter note. I was sure to call up my grandfather yesterday and wish him a Happy Fathers Day. You can't replace the irreplaceable. No one can. But you can acknowledge the places where you are lucky. Where in all the places things went wrong, something in the universe aligned right for you. Having my grandfather in my life was one of those things.
