My Mom told me quit crying because I was going to wake my Dad. She said I was acting like my Aunt. My need to breathe was over-powering my need to explain. I couldn’t get the words out. Em was worried I was upset with her or that a phone conversation had turned south as I was driving north on Clemons Road. She found me in the driveway. I was too scared to tell my secret…
“Walking in Memphis” by Lonestar- My dad and I love this song. Every time we are in the car together I play it for him.
“Colors of the Wind” by Judy Kuhn- When Burger King offered their collector’s edition Pocahontas glasses, my Dad was at their drive-thru every time a new character’s cup became available. Thanks to him, I have the complete collection that includes Pocahontas, John Smith, Governor Ratcliffe, Meeko and Powhatan.
“Take Me Home, Country Roads” by John Denver- I listened to this song multiple times on my plane ride home from Italy. I couldn’t wait to see my family and friends.
“Just Like Jesse James” by Cher- The first time I heard this song, my mom and I were watching Cher’s Farewell Concert on HBO. It’s quite fantastic.
my Dad: Everyone says I have him “wrapped around my finger”. He is the steady person in my life who no matter how ridiculous or dramatic I can be, he can handle me. He is an amazing man of God.
my Mom: She’s my best friend. My entire life, I have observed her as she has demonstrated the caring, comforting, Christian mother that she prays daily to exemplify.
