I was driving back from running an errand today and Culture Club's "Karma Chameleon" came on the radio. As I sang along, I suddenly and unexplainably felt this overwhelming emotion that brought tears to my eyes. I remembered that my Dad, who has been gone for more than twelve years, used to sing along wholeheartedly to that song. It is funny how I think about my Dad often but rarely cry anymore. This moment was different though - it was almost like I felt him before I thought of him. I am not sure how to explain those moments, but I interpret them as a gentle reminder that my Dad is still with me. Instead of pushing the feeling away or trying to dismiss it, I just feel it and somehow feel a comfort from it. Reminders like that come when you least expect it, and sometimes, when you most need it.
