It was untimely but I am so pleased for you that the farewell was both fair and well. Billy sounds like the sort of person you would like to lead you out… as for me I am opting for a DIY… on CD with pauses for whoever `i choose as my frontman… most likely my daughter Amy, a professional singer and used to the tech. I have included brief slots for my three children – Amy, Becky and Ross but the rest… music, a poem and my epilogue etc., will be all me. A bit eerie perhaps but what I want…. and part of me will be there in spirit and voice.
Derek sounds like someone I could have been a good friend to/with – I love the idea of his adopted daughter (I have three children, two step-daughters – whom I am close too but they were adult 17/19 when I met Janet, 35 and 39 next – and an epileptic young woman – under intense care at all times – who lost her father and step-father whom she loved equally, at a very young age – 7 & 15. I 'adopted' her 5 years ago and I have encouraged her with her music… she is back in Wales and playing in 2 duo's and a folk dance band using several instrument, including sax, guitar and cello.
I too lost my beloved grandmother, her son, my father, a few years later and a very, very close friend and fellow musician/singer at the age of 50 quite recently. I have never lost God but these days I look for him inside, never out. I believe that there is that of God in every person and that is where I look first… I always find 'that' and then i am obliged by my conviction (not faith) to treat that person accordingly. That means courtesy, respect, and a universal love. It also means I could never bear arms or go to war against any nation… because nations are made out of individual people and each person etc., etc.,.
Much love to you at this time Jean, I can sympathise and empathise and although it is far from your compass I can feel your pain too.
Dai.

[b]In Everything
Verse 1[/b].
I am a grown man;
Look at me I?m crying
Ok, there?s no shame in crying
But it seems I do it all the time
It has been a good while
Since you passed and went your own way
Now all that?s left is memory
That never seems to fade
[b]Chorus: [/b]
So here I am and I?m reaching out
I can?t touch but I still feel
I hear your voice, I see your face; they?re not real
I catch a smile on a TV show, I hear a Robin sing
I see you in everything
I hear you in everything
Instrumental Break
[b]Verse 2. [/b]
I have a good woman
She is standing right beside me
If needs be, she will carry me
I am burden she can bear
But sometimes, on the other side
I feel your hand upon my shoulder
When your shadow falls behind me
I know that somehow you?re still there
[b]Chorus: [/b]
So here I am and I?m reaching out
I can?t touch but I still feel
I hear your voice, I see your face; they?re not real
I catch a smile on a TV show, I hear a Robin sing
I see you in everything
I hear you in everything
[b]Break: [/b]
I walk your walk I know it
One day I?ll walk with you again
And when I see you, in the mirror
I know your smile will ease my pain
[b]Chorus: [/b]
So here I am and I?m reaching out
I can?t touch but I still feel
I hear your voice, I see your face; they?re not real
I catch a smile on a TV show, I hear a Robin sing
I see you in everything
I hear you in everything
Tag:
And I am you in everything
