Earnhardt Tribute

I wrote this loving tribute just minutes after Dale Earnhardt's death was announced. I tried to imagine the pain his son must have felt that horrible day.

"RACETRACK IN THE SKY"

He taught me everything I know in this world today; how to drive a race car; how to stop and pray; to give my very best and strive to achieve; to live my every dream if only I believe;

Oh, Daddy's looking down from that racetrack in the sky. I hope he knows it broke my heart the day we said good-bye. There's something that he should know. I'm proud to be his son and I'll carry on his legacy to finish number one.

In my eyes he was a hero and he'll always be; when I drove a race car or sat upon his knee; We shared a lot of triumphs through the many years. We traveled miles together and cried a lot of tears.

Well, now his streets are golden and there's angels all around. His life on earth is over yet his presence is profound. He fulfilled his every dream. You know, they all came true. The last word I have to say are, "Daddy, I love you".

Oh, Daddy's looking down from that racetrack in the sky. I hope he knows it broke my heart the day we said good-bye. There's something that he should know. I'm proud to be his son and I'll carry on his legacy to finish number one; to finish number one.

Songwriters, now victim/advocates Iris and husband Tlee were poisoned by toxic mold & trichothecene. Forced to abandon home & worldly possessions, this deadly mycotoxin destroyed their health. Their goal is to create a public awareness on the adverse health effects of indoor toxic mold.

ABC News, EMagazine, Healthy Living and many other publications shared their story.  

As they battle their own tragedy, they're determined to help victims get proper medical care and assistance. Iris arranged the 1st mold health seminar in her area in Nov. 2007. As both victims and advocates they will help you any way they can. They ask for your support of their efforts.

Music is all that remains of the life once shared. Just before diagnosis, they released a heartfelt 911 tribute CD, Surviving the Storms, Truckin' On and other songs of life, love, laughter, hope and inspiration.

Iris is involved in a national Mold Awareness Month. Despite both Iris and Tlee facing a life-threatening diagnosis, she has faith that God is in control and miracles still happen.
