Cat's in the Cradle

I never know when a moment will come, that will make the tears fall. I was doing Taebo in my bedroom, I was in the middle of some crunches on the floor, when a commercial interrupted the youtube workout video. When I heard the song, "Cat's in the Cradle," I stopped and looked up at the screen.
As I watched this simple yet profound commercial, I began to sob. (I am not in anyway endorsing the car brand, but it is a good commercial.) Crying happens sometimes in moments completely unexpected. I felt great, I was working out, and I felt alive. I was shocked to be in tears so instantly. I kept doing my crunches, but I did them with tears streaming down my cheeks, and an aching in my heart.
Charles did not like this song, it made him sad. He was never going to be that dad, he was going to be there for his kids, and he was. He was a beautiful father.
I cannot help but ache when I think that he will not physically be there for his sons, and daughter. I know he will always have his hand in their lives, but it's not the same as having his physical hand on their shoulders.
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home, Dad
I don't know when, but we'll get together then
You know we'll have a good time then
Watch the video for some tears.

I don't like that commercial at all! I wonder if the message I took away from it was the message they were intending to send. Weird. I also do not like this song, so I'm in good company since Charles didn't like it either. :)
ReplyDeleteMusic is a double edged sword...sometimes it makes your heart bust with joy and sometimes it makes it hurt. Sorry that this one hurt a little.
