Such a great, prophetic song….. Somehow, while we are running around working and doing other “important” things, children grow up. If we are LUCKY, we get a second chance with grandchildren.
Harry passed away on July 16, 1981, nearly 40 years ago. I remember I was driving to Texas when it happened, and the radio stations were all playing his music for hours overnight.

Never miss a chance to place with your children even if for just a few minutes.

I loved Harry Chapin’s, Cat in the Cradle one of me and my hubby’s favorite songs…but then we have other’s by Harry too!

Harry and Jim Croce. I still feel the loss. Ritchie Valens too.

There’s no time like now to play catch with your son.

Sah-weet!!! He figured it out in time, too. Not like the guy in the song!

I’ve lived it. It’s a great story, and I’m now in the final stanza … I’ve long since retired and my son’s moved away … thank you Harry.
