That’s the one thing I keep telling myself and I started playing guitar about 2-3 years ago and it only took me 35 years to decide to play LoL but seriously I am always blown away when he plays the guitar and in 5th grade he found a guitar in a dumpster and took 2 lessons learning how to play Mary had a little lamb and he stopped going and he’s able to play by ear/listening to the music so it’s the best thing I’ve done with him since he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s but I just knew the chords, tuning it, but I NEVER played a song let alone in front of the whole family at his service and I just said F’it and I used his acoustic guitar that’s been a “family member” for 42 years and I’m just 38 so I played Eric Clapton’s"Tears in Heaven" and I swear I just listened to it and it’s just amazing(no way I thought I could do it) and I just closed my eyes and played almost felt like he was playing with me and I started growing for him and now I’m going to be doing a grow in his honor and I just loved seeing something that I grew up helping him out with pain and how much it would help him with the racing mind trying to process what he was listening to and I just truly know that he’s in a better place and is forever by my side so it will be HARD to push on without his smile and dry humor that I will have in my heart thanks The Doc
