    As we progress through life and events unfold, songs that we have heard a million times become more poignant.

    I remember sitting with my father as a young child and listening to "Golden Slumbers" on vinyl.

    As the years progressed and I became a father, I had hoped to experience the wonderful song live with my oldest son, Joey.

    Last Sunday night at Dodger Stadium was supposed to be that night. Instead, I played it at my son's funeral in late June.

    I love and miss my beautiful boy more each day.

    I know it doesn't really have to be said, but you're in all of our thoughts Dan. I wish I could write something to make your day a little better, but I can only imagine how raw the pain must still be. Just know that we're all here, and that we ARE gonna make this happen for you :)

    No idea what this must be like. We had a scare with our two year old a few weeks ago and just a couple of days of that was almost too much. Stay strong, man. They'll play it for you.
