That's true. My dad really loved music. Every morning when he woke up, we would hear the radio playing and music in the living room. Whenever we heard the music, we knew that he was awake.
But now, no one plays the radio loudly in the living room anymore. Each of us listens to music through our own headphones instead. Thats how a passing may affect us.
Hmm, there seems to be an opportunity to rekindle the tradition of having music playing for all to hear as your father did.
