My feel-good song

Back to what is right

Remember me telling you about my Pappa Samuel getting sick last year? Well for the past 8-9 months, my dad has been fighting cancer with full force and was told just a few weeks ago that his battle is finally over. He will have to go for check-ups on a monthly basis for the rest of his life, but besides that minor factor, my daddy is healthy as can be.

It was tough.

Taking on something like that among your family members is life-changing, yet it has brought us all together immensely. There was a massive amount of support, but Jesus Christ pulled it all back together, just like he has always promised to do. 

The hair is back, the weight is gaining and he is even seeing a personal trainer to bulk up a bit. The chemo may have made him look like a 13 year old boy :P But since the first day of training he has not given up any opportunity (often making up his own) to whip his shirt off and pull is biceps and cooler bag (six pack underneath a bit of a squishy layer).

My dad is my hero, honestly. And he was only able to pull through this time because of his beliefs. 

This song is not really dedicated to my dad or anything, but I've been wanting to learn it for a long time. This was a one-take recording, so it is seriously average. It is one of those songs that you inhale (as I have said before) and for the first time in a long time, my dad is probably tasting air in an entire new way. I love him so very much <3
