	This is an original song I wrote from a child's point of view. The child grows up and wants to thank his/her parents for all that they did for him/her when growing up. All of the things the parents went without. All of the memories still intact. This song connects with all parents.

	Story Behind the Song What does the song mean to me? It is a small token of thanks for my parents for all that they have given to me over the years. What do the lyrics mean? Take a listen. Take a journey back in time with me. Where was the song written? I wrote this song in 1995 in central Ohio after returning from Arizona but before performing down south throughout Florida. How long did it take to write it? This song took me about 20 minutes to write. How long to record? I recorded it in about 6 hours. How many takes? Well, I did all instruments on this album and i'm stronger in some instruments than others. Do I really have to say which one's i'm weak at? (he he he) Actually my most takes were on the drum tracks I played. I had some work to write in and to play the drums at a certain off beat and time as I wrote them. So, the drums took me about 25% of the recording time to get them right.
