Sometimes the phone would ring and I wouldanswer it to hear my dad's voice on the line singing this song.
I wish I could hear it again!
"I Just Called To Say I Love You"
No New Year's Day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring
No song to sing
In fact here's just another ordinary day
No April rain
No flowers bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is, is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
No summer's high
No warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
No autumn breeze
No falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies
No Libra sun
No Halloween
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring
But what it is, though old so new
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart,
of my heart
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart,
baby of my heart
No New Year's Day to celebrate
No chocolate covered candy hearts to give away
No first of spring
No song to sing
In fact here's just another ordinary day
No April rain
No flowers bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June
But what it is, is something true
Made up of these three words that I must say to you
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
No summer's high
No warm July
No harvest moon to light one tender August night
No autumn breeze
No falling leaves
Not even time for birds to fly to southern skies
No Libra sun
No Halloween
No giving thanks to all the Christmas joy you bring
But what it is, though old so new
To fill your heart like no three words could ever do
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart,
of my heart
I just called to say I love you
I just called to say how much I care, I do
I just called to say I love you
And I mean it from the bottom of my heart, of my heart,
baby of my heart
The older I get the more I miss my dad. How many times I wish I could call him up and tell him that I love him and tell him that I really need one of his bear hugs. It kills me to know all of the things that he is missing out on. All of the little things day to day. The kids are growing up so fast and I can't help thinking I wish my dad was here to see them. I feel so sad for my kids that they don't have him in their life, that they don't remember him. Sometimes I think that I am doing fine and something will happen that I want to share with him and I will go pick up the phone and it hits me. I know that time is supposed to heal all wounds and that with God's grace it will hurt less and less, I just wish that day was today!

I'm sorry friend...
I miss him so mush, too!!! I think the same thing all the tome about picking up the phone and wanting to call Johnny or Grandma. He was so wonderful to Beth and Alex and such a major male role model for them. Alex talks about him all the time and remembering fun times- like the time they went to the planetarium and your dad pretended to smack Alex. Alex turned his head to the side as if he actually hit him. Your Dad's hand clapped into his other hand which made a very loud smacking noise. Some lady was apparently appalled when Alex held his cheek in pain. Alex was 9 and still thinks that was so hilarious. HA ha ha. Cracks me up= Alex and I are laughing about it now!!! I LOVE yOU & HIM
