  • What a great tribute to a sailor and father. I hope someone does this for me on my final voyage. Thanks for sharing and the music was great.

  • @csjmoore Thank you so much for this nice comment! My father, he was really a special man!

    For you I wish that someone will do that one day, but I wish you now a great life, in health and happiness, and that that special tribute to you will be years away from now! Thanks again! Roeleke

  • This is an awesome tribute to your father!! I just lost my father last week and this tribute reminded me of him in many ways, he always had some sort of boat in which he could be on the Great Lakes!! and I was always with him. he is sailing the seas of heaven free from pain and suffering!! Thank You!!

  • Dear Dave,

    I am so sorry for your loss, it must be so tough when you were so much together.

    I hope this tribute to my Dad may help you in your process to give this great loss a place in your life. Know that he will always be with you in your heart, my friend.

    Take care! Roeleke

  • Oh Roeleke, I bet that was a very hard job even though your dad loved it. You are very clever at putting together your harmonising. Grand to see those old photos I know they must be very precious. Was that you with Dad in the last photo? Lovely Cutie, another on of on vacation have a great time and bring me back a stick of rock Lol Hugs and Love God Bless x♥x *****

  • That was so sweet,so nice my friend!! That made me smile! Nice song and I love your sweet pretty voce Roeleke. :) You have such a kind sweet nature and it comes thru in your songs. You dad looked like a good hard working man. He loved the sea. I was a sailor many years ago myself. and spent many months at sea. :) Very nice tribute. You look beautiful in your picture hugging your dad. :))

  • Oh Rick, that was such a nice comment, haha... I can look angry also, haha...

    Yes, he has been working hard all his life, you are right. But being a sailor was his wish! And I am happy for him that he had the chance to do so for 13 years! Did you go "over the oceans" as My Bonny? :-)

    (the song:-) My Father had a cargo ship, in the Netherland and Belgium he was sailing! He felt so home with all these sailors... they are really special! :-)

    Roeleke :-)

  • Thank you so much, my dear Iya, my Father was sailing at a cargo boat from his 58th- 71st , he should have been 88, if he had still been alive.

    It was very special to work with him on the ship for some months!

    Thank you my friend and see you in September!

    LYM JP

  • Maybe, my friend, we just have to realize that this life is a part of life forever? And we grow by the pains we have to experience? And realize more and more that we are all a part of the Existance? Since my George died, I realized more and more, that we never will be separated from our beloved ones!

  • About your Mother, Dad and my Dad? I think they must have met each other already, at least through us, don't you think?

    And you know what? I am sure it gives them all Great Joy to know that you and I found each other this way, maybe they even helped us, included George! :-)

    And about my Mother: she asks sometimes how you are!!! :-)

  • Hi my friend THe Noypok

    You know why people need to leave this world

  • Oh, Claude, I missed this one. Thank you so much!

    Roeleke

  • I didn't know the song before, but I love you singing it. Very touching memorial for your father.

    By the way: I checked out the English meaning for the word "smartlap" that you mentioned in the info box (yes, I actually READ info box contents *g*!). In Engish, it means "sob story". And in German, it's 2rührselige Geschichte".

    Well, saw a touching video AND learned something - that's a good combination. I'm gonna go click the Golden Button up there in the right now ... CLICK ... DOne :-)!

  • ... Oops, typo alert ...

    It must read "in English", of course, and the "2" in front of "rührselige" should be a quotation mark, hehe!

    Classical me - better get used to it right away :-)!

  • I love this song and this is the most beautiul version I have ever heard!

  • Wow, thank you so much for this great compliment! It comes from the heart, this song for my Dad!

    Roeleke

  • did u go sailing with your father? is your mom alive?

    sailing is so magical.

    michael

  • Michael, yes, we went sailing through Holland and Belgium, and had to sail with cargo, so we went to several harbours too. We worked great together, and I also learned to sail with the ship. It was a very great time. You see, the ship carried my name.

    He tought me to sail when I was 11, and driving a car, when I was 9 ! He trusted me in that... I won't tell the police, hihi!

    Roeleke

  • My Mother got married last year, I will send you a vid about Mothersday, you can see her there! He was 89 and she 83. They are now 90 and 84!

    Roeleke

  • Yes, you are right, it feels like a different world!

  • hello mah LADY WITH A GOLDEN HEART..this made missed my father..he died in 1997 the fourth months i just came here ..so never see him naymore then (never allowed to go for his wake)just seen his remains when i transfer his bone with my mom's tomb last march of 2007..(what i saw him was bones..i sobs together the thought of knowing i am parentless..BUT I WILL SURVIVE..(mom's passed away 17 months ago..)

    all i have was a happy memories with them,pictures,voice tapes and videos of my mom

    tyvm

  • Oh, how sad, my dear Jerome, so you could not go to his wake. Did you see him in 2007? That seems so strange and terrible to me.

    I am also very sorry that you Mom is not here anymore.

    I think that feels very lonely! The people who are your roots, and these are gone. I must not think of it! So glad you have good memories and pictures etc.!!!

    A hug from me! Roeleke

  • Hi my dear friend Brianna, my wish for you and your parents is, that you may have a very very long life, so about 120 years old? :-)

    Thank you my dear friend, yes, my Father was one of a kind! He loved singing so much. You know I recordered a lot of music for him for his organ, and he wanted to be in that room with the organ. So there he also died. But all the time he wanted to hear my music, and so he really died, singing with my music!

    Roeleke

  • wow...that is so special and beautiful...I love you sooooooooooo much!!!

  • And me you! :-)

  • Again, you are a great daughter! I just went to a funeral last night, my friend died of brain cancer at age of 37. So our fathers outlived many, 500 stars.

  • Oh, that is so sad Wenarto, I feel sorry!

    George also died of braincancer, 49 years young, but 37 years is also much much too young!

    Thank you, my friend!
