    “CHECKING IN” lyrics:
    By Singer/Songwriter Michael Farren
    Hey there, son
    It’s Dad again
    I know you’re busy
    I’m just checking in
    You can all me later
    If you get a chance
    I don’t want nothing else
    Just wonderin’ how you been
    No telling me how many times
    I’ve let that message play
    He’s been gone awhile
    But it still feels like yesterday
    I even call him back sometimes
    Wishing he’d pick up again
    I got a lot more to say these days
    then I did back then
    Hey dad, it’s me checking in
    I’m doing alright
    Work’s been a little hard
    But don’t worry I told mom I’d get by there later on
    and cut the yard
    The kids are good
    You’d sure be proud
    Yeah I should probably let you go
    But I’m missing you right now
    No telling me how many times
    I’ve let that message play
    He’s been gone awhile
    But it still feels like yesterday
    I even call him back sometimes
    Wishing he’d pick up again
    I got a lot more to say these days
    then I did back then
    Hey dad, it’s me checking in
    I’m just checking in
    No telling me how many times
    I’ve let that message play
    He’s been gone awhile
    But it still feels like yesterday
    I even call him back sometimes
    Wishing he’d pick up again
    I got a lot more to say these days
    then I did back then
    I got a lot more to say these days
    then I did back then
    Hey dad, it’s me checking in
    Just checking in
    Hey there, son
    It’s dad again.
    I know you’re busy
    I’m just checking in

    Listened to this song for the first time tonight February 27th, 2024, and it hit me hard, brought up alot of emotions, and questions, haven't seen my father in 18 years, and last time I heard from him, was back in 2013, tonight I'm left wondering if he's still alive, or if he's dead, burst into tears listening to this song, wishing I could see him again and more often

    This is exactly how i feel about by Dad! I've cried buckets over the last 10 years, but i know that i'm going to see my Dad anyday now! My Dad thought me the Bible as a little boy! We went fishing alot and now just like he was...Jesus made me fishes of men! Amen! Thank you Jesus for blessing me with the most wonderfull Dad, a son could ever ask for...🙇‍♂️

    This song hit home really hard. My mom used to call all the time and leave me a voicemail message because I was too busy to pick up, and then she passed away in Jan 2019 and I still have the last message she left me on my phone, saying "I'm just checking in to make sure you're ok". I listen to it all the time and wish so badly I could just talk to her again. I miss her so much 😢. Beautiful song ❤️

    I missed a lot of years with my dad in my younger years. His last 4 years we spoke daily on the phone when I took my lunch break. He passed away a year ago today unexpectedly at 67 years old. He was my best friend. I thank God every day we had that time together. I can't wait to see him again.

    Hit the teary 😢 spot tonight! Still listen to his message telling me he is stopping by on the Harley . Look at things he wrote to me like bday cards and a dictionary he gave me in 6th grade with a note on the 1st page. Bowling balls I will never get rid of because he bought them for me! Every time I see a black dragon fly I know it's you letting me know you are still here. Miss you sooooo much and wish you were here to see my kids grow up. Ask you questions like was I as hard to raise as my daughter?🤷‍♀️ Of course not I was always your angel😊 Zachary reminds me of you all the time. His looks, humor, glasses, demeanor..... Send me another dragonfly tomorrow.... Send all my sissy's (your daughters) dragon flies tommorow! I love and miss you daddy and think of you every day!

    Brings tears to my eyes as it's been 20 years since I lost my dad on this world and can hardly wait to see him once more. He was a great fisherman as his hobby and used to take me with him on his fishing trips and my younger brothers too! Mom passed 6 years ago and as my best friend, I can't wait to see her too!💝😄

    • @nancyanderson6741
      @nancyanderson6741 Рік тому

      @E.T. Thank you so much! When he passed away, I thought I couldn't bear it I was so heartbroken. Four months later one day I started crying at work and couldn't stop, so I had to go home and cried all day. It was close to the first Christmas without him so maybe I was especially sad at this holiday time. One time about 3 years before he died, he wrote a note on the door that said "Gone fishin'". So that was the theme of his funeral service.

    My dad died while in another country for a 3 week duty. It was a sudden death and unexpected since he was in perfect shape at 68. No one was able to say goodbye to him when he passed away alone. He is a believer and loves God though not perfect and had temptations . I hope God will let him in heaven. I dreamed that he is with the Lord and he said it took some time for him to make it through that” walkway”. Of course I need confirmation for this dream. I know in the Bible they say that its appointed for men once to die , after that the judgment. I hope he passed away peacefully and that the Lord will forgive him as one who
    loved worshipping and serving the Lord (barrier: was a Freemason in his 20s and has not repented because no one knew yet about it
