Yes definitely. But oddly, here is the song now, that gets to me. She wasn't a beer drinker long ago. But she always kept beer in the fridge for my husband. Sometimes she would say "I'd like to have about half a glass of that beer".... so she'd get a little glass out, and he'd pour her part of his beer. That's all she wanted. In her last few years before she moved to Arizona, I'd go visit her, and we'd sit on her deck, I'd have a beer, and she'd take her half-glass. This song came out about the time she died. Still brings me to tears when I hear it. Typing this through them now, but still smiling too.

Thats very poignant, but good to know that you have got to a stage where you can smile - another big hug

Different strokes. Not judging the person, but he and Bernie Taupin put out some great music along the way.

Thanks. I do smile. She was a wonderful woman, mother, and best friend. (how do you think I got to be so great?)

The sentiment is perfect, but I guess the title just seems so odd, for a "mother remembrance" song! That's why I had to elaborate.



Ok, my tribute is done, we can move along to other fun things now...

I saw nothing odd about that, but loved the memory share... yep, like mother like daughter...
