Nothing makes me miss my home and my family - particularly my dad - more than the James Taylor song Carolina In My Mind. When I was little he would sing it to me because it was a play on my name. I have very fond memories of James Taylor and this song. I remember once we drove to Pinetop, just the two of us, in the old little tan truck and listened to James Taylor the whole way. I loved it because it me feel special that it had my name in it. It wasn't until I went to visit my cousins in Washington all by myself when I was 12 that this song took on a new meaning for me. We were driving and this song came on the radio and I got very homesick. That's when I realized this song was about missing home and family so it's ironic that it's the song that reminds me of my dad and makes me miss my home and family. I love you dad.
......Even though you are pretty crazy.
