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…

“Sometimes You Can’t Make It on Your Own”  U2
