My therapist suggested that I record something and send it to him. Of course my mom would still hear it but at least it's not live. Tonight I recorded a 2.5 minute message for my dad including me singing the song and I'm no Maria Callas for sure. The recording feels intensely private and intimate to me but I'm really feeling like I want to share this recording with my therapist, singing and all. Does that sound like too weird of a thing to share with him?

What a lovely thing to do, to record yourself singing for your dad.
I don't think it would be at all weird to share with your therapist. It was his suggestion, and my guess is that he will feel honored you'd be willing to share something so deeply personal with him.
