    Oh man, I look stupid right now crying. My wife and I used to go silly and sing this song while on the road travelling to wherever on a Saturday afternoon. All the memories just gushing in, super overwhelming. My darling, love of my life, passed away last year. Oh, if only heaven was that close, I'd walk 500 miles, and I would gladly walk 500 more.

They were alike in their character and morals. We visited Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, where his relatives from Scotland had migrated after the Highland Clearances. I wish we'd had the chance to visit Scotland. Take care!

      I was doing one of those charity walks - the Komen Breast Cancer 3 Day where you walk 60 miles in 3 days. I had speakers hooked up to my backpack and was blaring this song as I was walking along the route. The best part was people along the route cheering us on and singing along with the chorus and especially the "da-da-da-da" parts. It really lifts the spirits when you've walked 18 miles in a day, your feet hurt and you're trying to make it that last couple of miles to that day's finish line. This is an amazingly powerful song. The first 9 years I did this walk I logged the first 500 miles and in almost a decade since then I have added 500 more. I have literally waIked 1000 miles to this song!

Facial expressions, even of those not singing at the moment. How they react to (look at) the one singing (telling a story). They all look they enjoy each other and what they are doing.
