Time passages

Posted by psd on June 11, 2009

Time goes by so quickly. My daughter is out on her first date…alone…with a boy…without a group of friends. I got to talk with him–Mark–for a few minutes before they left for dinner and a movie. He seemed very respectful, and nice, and considerate. Which is all good, but he’s taking my only daughter in a big green truck 30 minutes down the road. Did I say alone?

Music gets me through times like this, so let’s hear a couple of songs about daughters and growing up.

“Daughter” – Loudon Wainwright III (from Knocked Up…oh God I hope not!) [lyrics]

“Daughters” – John Mayer

Mother and Child Reunion – Paul Simon

And before I start to cry, one of my favorite songs, but with a Step Brothers spin.
“Sweet Child of Mine” – Derek and family
