Today, we honor the Dads and Grand-Dads, alive and gone, who are/were those loving, solid rocks who we adored as children, sparred with as teenagers and honored as adults. If yours is still here, hug his neck tightly today.
Here are a few “Father” favorites:
My Father’s Eyes, Eric Clapton
My Little Girl, Tim McGraw
Cats in the Cradle, Harry Chapin
Miss you, Daddy.

My dad died in 1985, but for some reason I am really missing him a lot today.
I found this clip of Harry Belafonte singing a beautiful folk song from a man to his little daughter, which i remember hearing often as a child. It captures my mood tonight, as I remembered my dear old dad:

well, that somehow didn’t work. But here is the URL for “Scarlet Ribbons,” which I hope will ink up to this tender father-daughter ballad:
