Losing our daddies as children robs us of many years of memories...we cherish the few we had time to make all the more! I have few happy memories of mine...most are of him being very ill and in pain. I try to focus on the happier ones knowing he's not in that painful place of illness any longer. 🙌

[@ChallieWallie]

I am thankful to hear you had a chance to create these memories. I completely respect that it is easier said than done, but it's better to celebrate what we have than to despair over what we might have had.

This was my parents wedding waltz in 1955. On their 50th anniversary my son, 14 at the time, surprised them and played it on the piano for them while they recognized it and danced to it. They're both gone now but I'll never forget that special moment❤🥹

Right after I saw your vid, I sat down and play the Tennessee Waltz in memory of my Dad. Thank you 🥰

[@suemoenius5619]

This just came up in my feed...my dad wasn't a singer, and I didn't associate "music" with my memories of him...but this brought back the times (maybe once or twice a year) when he'd come across his old guitar, tune it up, and sing this song. And that brought back a few family favorites-- performers Tennessee Ernie Ford, Jimmy Dean, and Hank Williams. Dad died at 96, almost 10 years ago.

She can sing beautifully. Wow, I'm in awe! Love this song, brings back memories of the time I was living on a ranch north of mountainburg,Arkansas. In 1973 I wanted to move west and ended up in Arkansas working on a ranch. They had no TV, so we set around the fireplace and singing. Tennessee waltz is my all time favorite song. Bring from eastern North Carolina, I realized ranch life is hard work. It was the most adventurous experience of my life. Sweet memories.
