You Held Me Up

*You Held Me Up (Until I Found My Footing Again)* You Held Me Up is a loving tribute to my friend **Nanette and her father, Norman Jack Wheeler**. Drawn from Nanette's memories of their relationship, the song honors a father who supported his daughter without trying to walk her road for her. Norman listened, remained within reach, shared laughter through life's imperfections, and gave Nanette the steady support she needed until she could find her own footing again. The small memories matter here—the conversations, humor, family stories, and ordinary moments that become precious after someone we love has gone. At its heart, You Held Me Up is about a beautiful form of parental love: *holding someone up without holding them back.* Although this is Nanette and Norman's story, its message belongs to every person who remembers someone who quietly stood beside them until they were strong enough to stand again. In loving remembrance of *Norman Jack Wheeler* and the enduring bond between a father and his daughter. © 2026 Keiya Booth Tasire | In Spirit Tree of Life Music
