Got a personal one to add to the list, folks.  My dear Dad passed on December 20th, at age 64.  Ain't ALS a bitch?  Funeral's Friday and while the rest of the congregation will be singing some staid hymn, I'll be belting out the following in my head.  I'd be honoured if you'd join me...

When you walk through the storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark
At the end of the storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of the lark

Walk on, through the wind
Walk on, through the rain
Though your dreams be tossed and blown
Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone

Walk on, walk on, with hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone
You'll never walk alone


Rest in Peace, Dad. :down:

Bless you Jason...id be honoured indeed. You are a credit to this place...and one of the major reasons why i love it so much. You sing your heart out on Friday mate...ill join in for sure. It still rips me apart to think of how much you must have ached inside over these last months, in silence...yet found no voice to even dare ask for any sympathy or reassurance....A true living legend and an inspiration for us all.  You take the greatest care now.

AL.
