  1. As a four year old, sitting at the train station waiting for dad to return to the Chicago suburbs after a day of work at the Merchandise Mart, mom would sing this to me. A very nice memory now, at 68. Thanks.

  2. Transcends time, doesn’t it?! Palpable reminder that we have a beautiful history of connecting, even through difficult times. “…Embers from earlier fires.” Thank you for fanning the flames.
    Thank you for posting!

  3. I can hear my mother singing this to me every time I hear it. Takes me straight to the best of my childhood. Thank you!
