for those who don’t know, my dad passed away 3 years ago. he had battled with his demons through out my life and sadly lost that fight in November 2023. i wrote this song on my first Christmas without him. something about the nostalgia of that time mixed with how absolutely helpless i felt in that time had me feeling like a kid waiting for his dad to come home. it’s on my album that’s out in 2 weeks. would mean a lot if you checked it out once it lands :)

I felt this with my entire heart. I lost my dad last year and I've been struggling with life ever since. I'm sorry for your loss. I'm also thankful for coming across your music on my fyp.

I really appreciate this, I lost my dad in April of 2020, I never had a great way to grieve that. especially with all the covid regulations, and the world just feeling so torn apart. I'm learning how to grieve it, and in a way to live again, how to save myself again. Bring myself away some deep self destruction, start to truly rebuild into someone I hope he would be proud of. i am sure your dad would be so proud of you, your success, your failures, your bringing yourself back up to where you are now in spite of the loss of him. Keep it up Sam, we're all rooting for you too.

There’s something devastatingly painful and beautiful about hearing yourself in a song. I want to shut it off and listen to it on repeat at the same time.

This crossed my FYP and I’m glad it did. Coming up to my dad’s 2 yr of his passing. Being daddy’s little girl even in my adulthood and not having him hardest thing I’m going through. Your song says how we all feel thank you for your beautiful lyrics and voice

This song is gutting as a mom who has fought cancer to ensure my youngest reached adulthood with me still being here. Thank you for sharing your experience. it's going into a Playlist I'm building for my adult children when the time comes.
