Memorial Day is a day to honor service men and women who have given their lives in the service of others.  “Tears in Heaven”  written and sung by Eric Clapton  is a memorial song written from a  father’s unspeakable grief that is experienced by people everywhere at some time in their lives.  Thank you families of fallen service men and women,  and thank you Eric Clapton for sharing your grief and the story of your precious Connor  in “Tears in Heaven.”

This song has a deep meaning for me personally. The introduction of the melody opens the floodgate of my  tears.

I found this video and wanted to included it if any of you want to meet Conor Clapton. What a beautiful little guy.  Fathers and mothers keep your babies close. . . . .
