Beautifully sad song Mark, while none in my family have suffered from Alzheimer's my dad did suffer from Parkinson's.  You have done him proud with this.

Beautiful song. The only way to really express your feelings at a time as you described is through music and it comes through naturally and with little effort. The music I wrote for my mother's memorial was like that. When I listen to it now it reminds me more of her life and not her passing. I hope it's like that for you.

gonzo, thanks man.
 
bitflipper, so sorry for your losses. I guess if you've got music in you it just has to come out at times like that.
 
wookiee - thanks so much. It was hard not to do sad.
 
Bjorn - yea, now that time has passed it is like that - thanks for taking a listen.

I feel your pain in this. I wrote a similar song the week before my dad passed in 2010 but I don't know if it's good enough to post since I don't sing it very well. It was originally an instrumental. Maybe I should have left it that way like you did.

So hauntingly beautiful, Mark.  Your father must have been quite a man because this is quite a tribute.

Fine song. Contemplative feel. My condolences.
