You Sound Like an Awesome Dad Jim......!

Awesome Song!

Nearly a Tear to My Eye!

And I Don't Cry!

[Diego Ayala]

I think you have captured the feeling I had when I composed that song...  it goes a bit farther, but you have added something to the song that we all as parents have felt - and feel.   My daughter Gabby is 26 now and we did grow apart a bit when she became a teenager and it was turbulent, and the same happened with my son who is 23 now - but it is what it is, and it needs to happen - you know the all independence thing, and we cease to be on a pedestal at that moment

The song took shape while I had one of my nieces on my lap, just new born - and I was playing my classical guitar while I watched her smile at me with those big bright eyes - sparkling like a night sky full of stars, and I thought to myself how lucky I was to have been there when my kids were born (and 1st made) and to see them go through their own stages - just like little angels and before they become independent.

Jim, thanks for taking the time to add your thoughts/feelings to this composition!  It helps me to understand how to capture feelings and emotions and put them into words!

If you could, e-mail me your vox track as I would like to redo the song - as I was just practicing for a performance!

Abrazos!!!

Diego
