The Carpenters were my dad's absolute favorite band. He listened to them a lot, especially if he was sad or needed comfort. He was a very enotionally complex and sensitive person that not a lot of people really ubderstood. I do, because I think a lot like him. I'm actually a lot like him in many ways, so sometimes we clashed, but it was never anything that lasted for long. We played the Carpenters for him as we all said goodbye yesterday. When I woke up this morning, this one particular Karen Carpenter song was stuck in my head on a loop, so I looked up the lyrics. It gave me goosebumps. Now that I looked up the lyrics to read, it's not playing in my head a loop anymore. Sometimes things feel like they are manipulated by a lost loved one. I dont know if that's the case here, but the lyrics are very fitting to a message he'd probably want to get to me. He'd definitely do it through a Karen Carpenter song, that is so very like him. The lyrics: When I was young I'd listen to the radio Waitin' for my favorite songs When they played I'd sing along It made me smile. Those were such happy times And not so long ago How I wondered where they'd gone But they're back again Just like a long lost friend All the songs I loved so well. When they get to the part Where he's breakin' her heart It can really make me cry Just like before It's yesterday once more. Lookin' back on how it was In years gone by And the good times that I had Makes today seem rather sad So much has changed. It was songs of love that I would sing to then And I'd memorize each word Those old melodies Still sound so good to me As they melt the years away. All my best memories Come back clearly to me Some can even make me cry. Just like before It's yesterday once more.

Such a shock to hear this. Mike will be truly missed in the neighborhood. Every time I think of Mike I think of that dang monkey he had that would attack us when we walked through the yard. He always had the best sense of humor and told you what he thought. Gonna miss you Mike. Thinking of you Merlene.
