✨ I started writing “if I could” when my dad was downstairs slowly becoming a shell of himself as the cancer took over. I just wanted to hold his hand so tight that I could see where he was going. I wanted to take his pain, just understand WHAT death was. -So I had this idea of how I wish I could see him up in heaven. And I wished I could just lead him into the transition like sending a kid off to school. To see him at the gates and wave goodbye and know he got there safe. -Two months after his passing as I’d sit and play this song I finally just sang something that hit SO deep. 1. He said he didn’t want any of us (in the family) to be sad or sulking.. and to truly live our lives to the fullest.2. I had this deep feeling and visual of what it’d be like to sit beside him. And to see what he’d say. And as tears were streaming down my face I almost laughed because with my dads humor he’d say:“Why are you crying? It’s amazing up here.. I feel bad for you down there. And we’d both laugh. And I had this moment were when I think of him out of pain and suffering, if I imagine him singing and dancing. If I KNEW the world he was in THEN I could let go. And though he’s no longer here it made me believe that he’s somewhere wonderful. So whether an afterlife exists or not.. to me, he’s so rested, so at peace, so happy. And he feels sorry for still here on earth.So it might sound cheesy but this helped me transcend my sadness and fears into a higher belief and in that belief he’s sitting in blue skies heaven watching over me eating his favorite burrito from Del Taco. ✨???? If you want you can play the song as it’s out now everywhere. It’s off my album “Phone Call to Heaven”. It’s all about wishing I could see my dad happy & healthy in heaven. I hope it gives you some peace as well ✨Side note: This clip is from my music video “If I could” and it was cool to shoot because it was the search for finding pieces of my dad. Seeing him in the clouds or the pictures or the memories. Because he’s everywhere I look ❤️If you read this to the bottom, THANK YOU, for listening to pieces of my heart and I adore you.
