Hello and a very reflective day for me

it touches the heart of my culture
the music the dress the respect
we all deserve that

a single father raising a 5 year old son
Oh how I wish more young men would understand that
as for females the same thing applies
there are so many different forms of love to explore
I love many things/persons differently

love is a conscious decision made willingly
once taken in by it
commitment is not necessary
for it becomes many many joyous moments

he has touched my heart
you make me proud

Chì mi na mòrbheanna is a Scottish song that was written in 1856 by Highlander John Cameron (Iain Camshroin), a native of Ballachulish[1] and known locally in the Gaelic fashion as Iain Rob and Iain Òg Ruaidh.[2] He worked in the slate quarries before moving to Glasgow where he was engaged as a ship's broker. He became the Bard of the Glasgow Ossianic Society[3] and also Bard to Clan Cameron. He returned to carry on a merchant's business along with his elder brother and to cultivate a small croft at Taigh a' Phuirt, Glencoe, in his beloved Highlands. Other songs and odes[4] appeared in The Oban Times and in various song books.[5] He was buried in St. Munda's Isle in Loch Leven. Wreaths of oak leaves and ivy covered the bier[6] The song is a longing for home and, with its wistful, calming melody and traditional ballad rhythms,[7] is often used as a lullaby.[8] The song was also played during the funeral of John F. Kennedy.

This song is commonly known in English as "The Mist-Covered Mountains of Home," and under that title it has been recorded by many artists, including John Renbourn, Mark Knopfler, Johnny Cunningham, Nightnoise (at the time including Johnny Cunningham) and Quadriga Consort.

I personally did not know that about that song

this is not a comparison
I love the bag pipes

he was a good father
