This was one of my Papa’s favorite songs. When Boy #2 was a toddler, before Papa went into a nursing home to spend the rest of his days, when we would visit Boy #2 always made a bee-line to Papa’s room and they would talk, and listen to music. One of my favorite memories was peeking around the door frame to watch and listen as they both sang along with Louis Armstrong. Just singing their with all of their hearts & souls. When it was over, Papa said to Boy #2 who was barely 3 yrs old at the time, “You need to remember this song forever because life is hard and will only get harder and this song is a reminder that it is a Wonderful World. Boy #2 still remembers. When he plays music now as he approaches his 14th birthday, amidst the rap & hip-hop that screams from his computer, in the midst of it all he will have this song in his playlist.
I think my inner bitch has left the building for the time being.
