about a certain lovely lady

so yesterday was a good and hard day; the celebration of the life of a certain lovely lady...my mother. it was her birthday, and she would have turned 56 if it had not been for that scallywag we call cancer. it's been six and a half years she's been gone. yikes.

so i'm just talking about her a bit cuz i like talking about her. i guess i'm pretty proud that she was my mom. what i would like to be doing with her right now is....dancing in the kitchen. this was her dancing hub, and i've come to realize that there's nothing like dancing in the kitchen. it's got a smooth floor, perfect for smooth movement, and one can accomplish many important and/or menial tasks whilst busting some sweet moves. one of her favorite musical groups to aid her in this endeavor was...SILVERWIND! i suggest you give 'em a listen if you don't know who they are.

so yeah...i do miss her.
i wrote a song about her once, and made an attempt at recording (a feable attempt with feable recording equipment) so if anyone wants to brave a listen...be my guest! i posted it on our YFC myspace, cuz i don't know how to do it here :)
