"Every Day" Song - - Entry #3

Hi, my name is Molly Slaughter and I am the oldest daughter of Kristen (she says to say that she is the favorite Warren kid). My job is to tell you about a present I get from my Papa at the beginning of every month. Now not everyone would think it is the best present, but I think it is. You need to know that my Papa is very strange, but that's ok because most of my family is (on the Warren side anyway). I am so lucky that I get a song every month. Not just any song, but the same song...changed slightly each time. It goes something like this:

Every daaaaaaaaaay, all the waaaaaaaaaay
Through the daaaaaaaaay, while we plaaaaaaaay
I'll be loving youuuuuuu, and missing youuuuuuu
Every daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

It is very interesting. I think Papa has been singing me this song on the phone for about 3 years now. Sometimes its boring, but I know it by heart, which makes it a little less boring. Actually I enjoy it now, because it means Papa is thinking about me. While other kids are getting toys and stuff, its comforting to know that I get the best present of all. Don't you wish you did??

(p.s. -- forgive me if I got it wrong, Papa)

we need to record Dad singing it so everyone can hear what it sounds like.

For context, I began singing a version of that song while the elves (and their parents) were living with us. Just a fun, silly thing from time to time.

When the elves (and their parents) moved to Virginia, I decided to call Molly every month and sing that song to her. I wanted to remind her how much her Papa loved her and that even though they were in Va, they were not forgotten. And Molly is right. I have called her every month for 3 years and sung the same song.

And I miss her (and all the other elves) every day.

This is the best song in the world. I think that Molly's grandchildren will still be singing it.
