I just found out a week ago that my dad has cancer, today i found out they cant take the the tumor out and he has 6 months to live. I cut him off some time ago for a argument. But before he passes I would like him to see the part of me he never saw. If any one would help me choose a song to do, i would appreciate it. I would like my dad to hear me for the first time and if im able to fly out before any thing happens, It will be the first time he see's me in uniform. Just want to try to make him feel better, because i know how scared he is.

I feel for you bro :cry:

 

About the song choice, I wouldn't choose a pop song (of course) I would choose a song with meaning (like Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol). The song choice really depends on how you feel about the situation. No matter what song you choose though, your dad will appreciate it.

 

Sorry if I'm not helping.

Thanks for the suggestion, Im going to keep looking until i find one that sounds right. He is big into church, but most of the songs i hear end up sounding really sad. I want to sing a song thats not going to make him depressed. Thinking of asking some of his old friends what he used to listen to. Might be a good idea if I can pull one off.

I'm sorry to hear about that.

 

It might be a good idea to sing a favorite from his music collection. Maybe something that is uplifting, sentimental or relevant to his life or your relationship with your father.

But here are some songs that came into mind:

 

 

 

 

 

My wishes to you and your family!

Thanks davie, and those are some good songs. I might change up the first one a bit and cover that song, but im also thinking about doing faithfully by journey. I know that song and maybe if i do a song thats not about whats going. Things wont get so emotional. I dont want to do a song thats going to make anyone sad, thats what worrys me. But i dont think there is really a way to keep that from happening. :(

Condolences bro...I agree, do something that is of significant meaning and relevant to you and your father. I went through this back in June with my grandfather, it should be a celebration of life. Whatever you decide to do, your father will be proud. Best wishes to you and your family.

I'm so sorry to hear that. I'll be keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers. I went through the same thing with my mother.

 

Is there a song that your dad loved or a song that you and your dad shared a bond over? I know anything that you do is going to be special and beautiful.

 

Best of wishes to you and your family!

Thank you every one for the compassion (if thats the right word) and help...... Honestly my dad wasnt the greatest person. Drugs (which he has been away from for some time) and violence was what i grew up to. Also he never really grew up mentally. but even though he didnt do what he said. He tryed to teach me right. I just want him to know i forgive him and that im there for him. No matter who it is, every one deserves forgivness and no one deserves to feel like they are alone. Just trying to explain why its so hard to find the right song. Its just complicated........ But im trying to do whats right.

If you've never been a big admirer of his then I would maybe try a religious song. That way you can avoid BS'ing him with lyrics that are meaningless to your relationship. If you're not close then just be supportive.

Sorry, most likly said more than i should of. Just stressed, and our relationship is complicated. I care about him, ive just had alot of anger about things he has done to people and the stress he has caused. But i want him to know i forgive him for those things, every one makes mistakes. There were good times and if it wasnt for him i wouldn't be the person i im...... I decided to do one of his old rock songs ( sad face, not great at rock).... Sorry for buging, but thanks for talking with me.... Some times its bad to write when stressed, makes you write to much.
