When I was 12 my Dad taught me how to play guitar. I was listening to American Idiot by Green Day and he started playing along with it. That's when I wanted to learn. I started with power chords and I practiced smoke on the water til my fingers felt like they were gonna fall off. He bought me my first amp, he showed me how to tune a guitar and change the strings. I can't even pick up a guitar without thinking of him. My heart literally aches when I play. I cry almost every time. Music, it's something that we'll always share, and something that will always remind me of him. Thank you Dad, for sharing that part of your soul with me, I love you...💙
