The tragedy behind the song.

Ever since I heard that story, I have always remembered what it made me feel. I learned that day life is short, it thought me the responsibility you have when you become a parent.

I Remember The Sentiment inThe Song Tears in Heaven, I've Always Loved Eric Clayton's Music Before That Sad Tragedy. 😢😔

Eric's song, which is dedicated to his late son, is on the mandatory list of MP3 songs on my cell phone. I understand the turmoil in the heart of a grieving father. That's why I'm proud of Eric, who loves his son and the message of this song is that we don't forget our family even though they're gone, I I always play this song when my longing comes for the figure of my late father 6 years ago, thank you Eric Clapton, you maintain a sense of humanity in them which means a family, because every child has the right to have parents but not all parents have the right to have children ❤👍 🏻🥰

He seemed so wrecked for years after. And never seemed the same thereafter. (It's in his eyes.) I know a dude who had seen a little girl sticking her head out a 3 story window. The screen was ripped and the hole was as big as her head. He was worried but his apt complex is so messed up. He decided not totry to help. He didn't want to knock on someone's door without a prior invite.

I feel sorry for his family, and the other people who witnessed it ....

I always wondered how a 4 yr old could fall from the 53rd story window . How could that happen . If anyone knows the story please share

Clapton was there and just couldn't bear to see his son getting loaded into the ambulance and just popped his collar and walked on by

I find it pathetic that it took Eric Clapton 4 years to "understand what it means to have a child and be a father" I mean, the dude never even had his son on his own until the day before his death? That's ridiculous.

It took him 4 years to finally discover what it meant to be a father? The child was 4 years old for crying out loud. And what 4-year-old can write a letter? I call BS.

This is a tragedy all right, but it's a tragedy because it's another story about a father who abandoned their child the first four years of his life, and an irresponsible mother who pushed her parental responsibilities off onto a nanny and a maid. 🤦‍♀️

Every child deserves a parent, but not every parent deserves a child. 😭
