I remember asking my mother if I'd lose everyone by the time I was an adult. It just seemed overwhelming at the time. What a great tribute to your friend.Ciarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15628488753277495111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049806523867335071.post-78195613231760589802012-04-01T06:00:49.559-07:002012-04-01T06:00:49.559-07:00Cat's in the Cradle is a great one, very bitte...Cat's in the Cradle is a great one, very bittersweet reminder of how quickly time passes, and how we need to use it while we got it.JeffOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947660745120963286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049806523867335071.post-44922465149063448762012-04-01T05:48:16.450-07:002012-04-01T05:48:16.450-07:00Awww.

She put a lot of living into those two years she had them. <br /><br />I didn't think about Cats In The Cradle, but you're correct, it truly is a sad song.<br /><br />Love the philosophy of The Dance.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.siamckye.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Sia McKye OVER COFFEE</a>~Sia McKye~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08470562659597351033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7049806523867335071.post-76867286175821830302012-03-31T14:20:21.540-07:002012-03-31T14:20:21.540-07:00JENNIE ~

DiscConnected had that on his list also, and he and I exchanged some comments about how surprising it was that he was the only participant to include it. Now I see that he and I spoke too soon!<br /><br />Others that he and I were surprised not to see mentioned regularly were Gilbert O'Sullivan's 'Alone Again, Naturally', and 'Shannon' by Henry Gross - a very sad song about the death at sea of a family's dog. (Do you know that one? Hard for anyone who's ever loved a dog not to get misty-eyed when that song plays.)<br /><br />Good songs; sad stories. I'm glad you participated in the blogfest after all.<br /><br />~ StephenStephen T.
