I appreciate your comment. We sang this in 6th grade, and even then I understood the devastating lyrics (I didn't see my dad much, b/c he had to work long hours and weekends+nights as a young resident->doctor). I knew even then that this song would be my truth. Over three decades later, I love my dad but I only see him a few times a year for a few days each, and we don't talk much on the phone much. "But we'll get together then, son."
