I think his songs are among the first adult songs I recall thinking, as a young child, were "nice" ones. Being that young then and older now than he was when he died is sobering and makes you realize how fortunate my life has been and how much of a loss his family experienced. Thank goodness for his son, who had his own troubles, has the song to remember him by. And hope he can actually see the video for "Time in a Bottle," which is all about how much his father loved him and his mother. Talk about having the foresight to tell people you love them while you can. Anyway, thanks for a great post on realizing the important things in life.
