Lyrics to another song I wrote

Again, the pattern is copied from another song, but the idea is that the music would be different.

They say we are made of our memories

That they are our roots ensnaring stories

But now yours have fell as you came to age

And you have no words, and I don’t know what to say

Tell me of them, and now

Your and my mom’s vow

The scar on your eyebrow

How grandma used to bake

And swimming in the lake

I can still get to know you

Dear dad, tell me what you can and I’ll

Try to understand you've done your best

The best you know how to.

But who will I become?

And who are you

Undone

I know you’re there

So help me find my way to you

What do I ask?

To unlock your mind’s dark chains?

Tell me of them, and now

When you saw my eyes

Your Halloween disguise

How grandma used to bake

And swimming in the lake

I can still get to know you

Dear dad, tell me what you can and I’ll

Try to understand you've done your best

The best you know how to.

But who will I become?

And who are you

Undone

Dear dad, I’ll tell you what I can and

Try to understand I've done my best

The best I know how to.

But who will you become?

And who am I

Undone

Starting my parental journey, part 9

You can read part 1 here , read part 2 here , read part 3 here , read part 4 here , read part 5 here , read part 6 here , read part 7 here , and read part 8 here . I've officially begun my second cycle. On Wednesday, I had a virtual appointment, yesterday I had my baseline ultrasound, and today I began injections again. On Wednesday, I expressed my concern about my weight and was told not to fret about it for this cycle but that I should work on it for my health. I got told some vague things about measuring my food by volume and weight and that being the key the weight loss (idk it sounded weird to me). But other than that my appointment went well and I really liked the PA I met with. Overall, she was supportive and encouraging me to advocate for myself. Yesterday, I had to get up earlier than normal (6am) so I could make it to my ultrasound at 7am (I have asked for future ultrasounds to be at 8am). I got weighed (ugh), had my blood drawn, and t...

15 facts about my dad

Just been thinking about some lighthearted facts I know about my dad lately. When he was young, he had a goldfish named Lysander He introduced me to Star Trek At Christmas, he would tear up at It's a Wonderful Life He used to send me articles from his Yahoo email account that he thought I'd like We used to play a game called "Nightmare" where he would lie down and we'd jump around (and sometimes on) him He would clip possible recipes for us to try out of newspapers and magazines We bought him a Paddington Bear to take on trips because we feared he'd be lonely and he always took it He had teddy bears for three different holidays We once had such a hilariously difficult time building a gingerbread house that when some frosting ended up on the counter, I plopped a gumdrop on it and we laughed until we cried He and his sister were born about 11 months apart We would try recipes from Top Chef He kept gifts I made him, even when they weren't great At Christmas, ...
