lyrics
Spoken:
You know, my dad and I had a very interesting relationship. When he and mom adopted me, they were well beyond their years of truly needing to take in ANOTHER child, so I've always felt that my inclusion in their family was some sort of miracle. But he always treated me as if I were his blood; he always treated me as though I was his own, he never made me question his love.
I mean, This is the man that taught me how to golf, how to ride a bike, and how to truly listen to music. So I have so much to thank him for. And even in dad's later years, as his health started to deteriorate, I learned that making him laugh was the best gift I could offer him for all the love he had given me.
My family's sense of humor has always been pretty weird—even though like none of this is gonna be funny. But amid all of our ideological differences, I knew that in the moments when I could make light of his illness or even joke about something in his treatments being a burden on the family, he would get a kick out of it because he KNEW that no one truly felt that way but it was really funny to us.
Ultimately, I just want to make something that would make dad proud. He was sick for such a long time and we had so many scares over the decade in which he fought lung cancer, so I never really have a vivid memory of the man healthy.
Yet, he never complained. And as much as we joked, he never made himself a burden. He was a quiet man that never wanted attention, he just wanted to love his family. So his selflessness is what made us fight for him and I truly think that's why he held on for so long. I think was in control the entire time—all the way until he finally let go and we all said farewell.
