The one that always brings a tear to my eye is Ava Maria, my father was an Alter Boy in a small Catholic Church when he was a dirt poor child during the depression. This song was special to him, it was the only song I ever heard that could bring tears to this ROCK of a man.
On this day that we Celebrate the brith of Jesus, I would like to remind anyone who has NOT read the TRIBUTE to MY FATHER that I have a webpage which I wrote shortly after his passing - it recaps not just his life, but how we all need to be remembered when we are gone.
I hope that on this special day that everyone (if nothing else) remembers those who have passed that were special to you and recognise those who are still here for all they have meant to you in your life.
Please read the Tribute, it may not be the most elegant Christmas tale you will read, but I think it may be one that is eye opening to some.
