I know that you guys don t watch my vids, but just for today make an exception.
I generally hate musicals but the above performance, and the truth of it, and the song, is truly true, ..., I can t even find the words, and that is unusual for me.
it really encompasses humanity, I think.
my tears are dried now, on to tomorrow....
thank you old girl..... thank you baby.....
my mom died recently too,
I turned some of her ashes loose the other day, down at the water, where we used to all go crabbing when I was a tot.....
five red headed women and me......

Yes to the ashes and crabs and redheads. My Mom is a redhead, so I have a special fondness for them. I’m sorry you recently lost your Mom, wes.

Just read the part about your mother wes; my sincere condolences.
Re: i wanna rock you, 'retha franklin....
thanks all.
Re: i wanna rock you, 'retha franklin....
My condolences as well; I lost my mom nearly 18 years ago and it seems like yesterday. You get by it, but you never really get over it. I wish you well.
