no man not a sap just a normal human being who feels the love for his kids,as it should be for all ,so easy yet so hard for some,

Beautiful song. I never was that close to my father. But I'm trying to make sure my son doesn't feel the same way.

The purity of this song is amazing! "So deep, so wide" is, in my opinion, the best way to describe the emotion I have listening to it. What an amazing, and dare I say 'God-given' talent this man has.

@1776Matthew Science worshipping atheist degenerate? Sounds like someone has some issues. Is that a christian thing to say?

Besides, I'm willing to bet that if you had a loved one in the hospital you wouldn't be calling the doctor a science worshiping degenerate.

Besides, is that what jesus would do? Curse people out for having alternate views to his?

@MrFrench439 I lost mine at 15. I'm already 2 yrs older than my father was when he died, 43.

I have two young boys 5 and 3 and can see his mannerisms in the 3 yr old. We were close enough although parents were divorced.

I find it amazing that PG is able to encapsulate all of these complicated emotions into a song and redeliver them. He truly is a music "artist" not too many that can truly wear that crown.

@losghost Amen, brother. I lost my dad when I was 17, and as is the case for many fathers and sons we weren't as close as we could have been (though the loss was still devastating)... but many years later, a few hours after my first child - a son - was born (when I was nearly 40, as was he when I - his only son - was born), I felt a sudden kinship with him, a new connection unlike any I'd ever felt before.

My sons will never meet him, but they sense him in me.

cried my eyes off

I was 4 when he died

We were never close enough. Never enough friends. You were never within reach of my understanding, because I always tried to rationalize everything, but I did not let my heart to feel enough. You just knew you wanted me, but no one taught you but your instinct to learn to love. In fact, nobody taught you or supported you in your life, and yet, you could project ourselves for a life better of what you lived. So I remember you with respect and admiration, besides my love for you, father.

Remember the tides

life struggles to continue

your baggage is left in my thoughts

and i keep checking to make sure your still there

With your dad by your side

Thanks Peter its been a great journey
