Amit a fanok mondanak

2013, I found out I was pregnant, started bleeding. Waited for 4 agonising days for the scan. It showed a healthy heartbeat. I cried so hard, couldn't wait to see my mum to tell her the good news. As I crossed the road from the hospital, she happened to drive by. She pulled over, as I got in, "one day like this a year would see me right" just played, I cried so hard with joy. That moment, this song, means the world to me. 6 years on. Mum had dementia, but still remembers that day.

For anyone interested, the talented lad spinning the sign is David Lemke, and this was his job with AArrow Advertising in L.A. Street sign spinning is a way for companies to advertise in areas where there are restrictions on putting up signboards.

I suffer from depression and anxiety and listening to this song makes me feel uplifted and a bit of optimism.

My incredible father took his final breath a week ago, at 8:44pm, 20/06/2025. He was 78 years old. He left this earth for a better place. This was his favourite musical masterpiece. I can picture him now sitting in his beautiful garden and singing it at the top of his voice, with a big grin on his face. I plan to get the intro notes to the violin and cello music tattooed on the inside of my forearm in remembrance of him. Rest easy, Dad, all who knew you loved you so so much. I love you!

The only memory I have of my Dad before he died was sitting in the car and he playing this song. That was 11 years ago and there isn’t a day that I don’t you miss. Love you Dad🙏 Edit: Nine months late but thank you all for your lovely comments, reading through them have helped me a lot. People can be awful, but you have shown us that we can be truly inspiring. 🙏
