A Moment in Memory of My Father
February 16, 2017 at 10:05 am
Three years ago today, my father passed from this world.

Here is one of the songs that I remember he loved

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.

Losing a parent is always difficult. Remember him well. That's his afterlife!

I'm so sorry you lost your father, Rhonda.

I haven't seen mine since December 2006 when I was 18 and I may never see him again. I think he's almost certainly still alive because I'm his next of kin and I think I would receive a letter if he dies but... I dunno if I will ever get to see him again before he does. It's complicated.

I don't know what it's like to lose a parent yet. But I do know what it's like to be without one.

I am sure you have some beautiful memories with him to think of Heart

I'm not good at this.

Sorry for your dad Rhonda. Seeing that he has a caring loving daughter, I say he might just been a cool dude.

Perhaps I can live that long to have baby sofia remember me so fondly. Not with grief, but with a word with a meaning: Saudade .

A person's taste in music can tell you a lot about a person. Your father liked some great music. I hope you have all the best memories of him today, Rhonda.

The man had great taste.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:

"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."

For context, this is the previous verse:

"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

I don’t really feel like I’ve lost him. I still remember the things he taught me. It was from him that I learned to see the irony of life. When I fall I may laugh as much as cry. He taught me to stand back from my emotions and analyze their depth. He taught me to question not only the answers, but also question the questions. And most of all he taught me to survive in a world where he no longer exists.

I am very fortunate to have known him for 48 years. I remember him because I am him. A Poindexter.
