My mom introduced this song to my sister and me in the early 80’s via Avon vinyl single. It’s still in my collection. We sang this song all the time and danced around. If you’re not familiar with it, do a little search. There are various covers and videos. And if you go down to […]
This song is so bittersweet for me. It has become both the sweetest and the saddest song in my life. When my dog was dying, I held him in my arms and sang this song to him. And when my sister and I were sitting with my mom while she was dying, I sang this […]
My mama liked this song. She wasn’t really an optimistic person but she was always hopeful. And I think that this song buoyed her sense of hope. One thing I know for sure, through all of the struggle life threw her way, she never forgot how to smile.
