The story of echoes of Yor
For me this story is about regrets that I have regarding things I could have done with my dad but did not take the time to do so because I was too busy working. Things that I could have said that I was too proud to say, Scars that still bleed and that will always bleed for these things and many more. The nightmare that exists because I never did or said those things and the fact that now forever they will remain in silence. A short time ago after an intense fight with acute leukemia my father went to the great beyond with honor and with a fighting spirit. He was always strong even at his weakest. I will always remember him as a great man so I don't want your sorrow or your pity instead tell me something you hold dear. Something that you will never let go.
I thought a lot about if I even wanted to tell the story about the words behind echoes of yor. The reason I have not done it before was I know that response will be for people to say how sorry they are but that is not the response I am looking for. Instead the response I want is for you to tell me what the words mean to you.
For Steve it applies to a trouble he deals with in his daily life but I will let him tell you about that.
Anyway the point of me telling you was not for your pity but so that the words might be more meaningful.

I kinda knew this was about your Father , I am pleased you wrote it when your experience was still raw----I am a Father, and a fathers son, and my Dad worked his ass off to leave me without ever thanking him and telling him how much I loved and appreciated all he did for me and my siblings----
I was out at sea, (fisherman) when we got the message he had died, and had to travel some distance, first by boat and then in a clapped out car which broke down half an hour b4 we reached the funeral---we were late and I felt I had let him down !
Now I am the same age as he was, and my children are scattered far and wide.
This is a story well rendered with emotion and caring, recorded and sung beautifully by Steve.
In a way it is my story too !

That is a great story Rob and very touching. I don't know about you and your dad or your relationship but I know you. You are a kind and gentle man. You are a man who cares for other deeply and even in in your own time of trouble time you take time for others.
It may be too late for you and you dad but I think you can rest knowing that its better to be late than never. Some people choose not to attend a funeral at all because of strained ties. You went to great lengths to do it.
The great part about your story its that its not to late for you and your kids. Even though they are grown and scattered I can tell you as a son that they still hold home in their hearts. As for my dad and I our relationship was mixed somehow I never felt I was good enough in his eyes but knowing him if he knew that he would feel bad about it.
Take this song with you in your heart once again travel the seven seas to the children that are scattered (even if its a phone call) let them know that as their father they are so important to you and that you are glad that they are part of you. Don't let the legacy of regret you have with your dad carry to your children.
When one day we all go to the great beyond you can look back on your life and know that you did everything to let your children know how much they mean to you. Your children will remember a loving father who was kind enough and gentle enough to show them how he feels.
