What does icdamoon mean?



I See The Moon… Do you?

Growing up, my Mom used to sing a song to her kids. This song was “I See The Moon… and the Moon Sees Me.” She would sign this song each time she saw the moon.

Here are the words of the song:

"I see the Moon and the Moon sees me,
The Moon sees Somebody I'd like to see,
God Bless the Moon and God Bless me,
God Bless the Somebody I'd like to see."


We would sing it every time we saw the moon growing up. It was tradition. Of course, now when I see the moon, I still sing it and I think about my mom. She passed away in 2004.

My wife and I taught this song to our kids. It is now a tradition that we sing it when we see the moon.

My son couldn’t say the “th” in the when he was little. He would say “da” moon. It was pretty cute and made me happy that he put his own spin on things. So I decided to use it as a unique identifier for me. I would use “I c (see) da moon” ~ icdamoon. I liked it and I have used in different ways, including here.

I have found that I like to see the moon and it is interesting how something like this can influence life.


I like to think that now when I see the moon and I sing it, that my mom is watching over my family and me. I hope that my kids continue the tradition and that when I am gone they know that I am watching over them. It is a good feeling.

So now when you see the moon, you need to think of that someone you'd like to see!

I see the moon... do you?
