Tribute to my Dad E-mail
Years ago I composed a song called "Remember". Although no-one close to me was sick at that time, the song idea just came to me one day and I began writing it down. Over the years, I sang it at a few events here and there: at a Relay For Life event for those affected by cancer, and at a memorial service at Gilda's Club, commemorating some of their members who had died of cancer that year.

And then suddenly, when we least expected it, my own father was diagnosed with terminal cancer at 88 years old. He died just a few months later, in November of 2005.

Fred Farha was a wonderful man who enjoyed life so much. People just loved my dad. In the last few years of his life, he became sweeter, gentler and more caring than I had ever seen him before. We enjoyed a rich relationship, full of laughter and music.

In one of the pictures in this video, you will see he and I singing for some senior citizens - that was on Christmas Day 2004 at a seniors' residence here in the West Island, and we had a blast together. He was already sick with cancer at that point, although nobody knew it. It was our last Christmas together.

He was articulate, informed, and sensitive. He loved making others laugh . . . I guess that's where I get it from. I really do miss him, as do many others, and there's no-one who could ever come close to replacing him.

And so this song "Remember" is dedicated to my dad, and to the many fun years we had together...as father and daughter, fellow singers, fellow comedians, and most importantly, as friends.
