Excerpt from The Vinyl Café episode “School Days” by Stuart McLean

“But these are the things you do when you love someone: you try so hard to create good times that they will remember and cherish.

And so often the things you try to do go amiss and you spend more time mopping up after yourself than anything else.

It always turns out that the things people remember are the things that you’d never imagine — something you do without even thinking.

And when you realize it, you wanna say, I could have done that thing so much better because I love you so much.

If I had known that thing was going to please you I would have done it more thoughtfully, more mindfully, more often.

If I had only known, I would have done it every day of your life.  I would pay so much more attention if I could do it again.”
