So, I have been without my car radio for so long that random songs will just pop up into my head. As I was just about to fall asleep last night, I thought of this one. I saw U2 live with my brother and a few other colleagues. I saw them perform this song but that was when MY DAD was still alive. It’s different for me now. I used to drive to work and listen to this song in the months just after he died and I used to ball the whole way to work. I’d wear my sunglasses into the building even though it was before daylight savings time and it was still pitch black outside.
I listened to this song a few times last night and cried EVERY time. I still do now. Because I was Irish in my past life, I guess I used to call him “Da” too. I always called my dad, “Daddy” but I guess it really doesn’t matter…
