Today is another day Dad, Today i will walk through with a smile on my face, well, thats the plan. I talked to Mum for an hour last night, she has sent me a letter, not sure I want to know whats in it, but I will find out in the next day or two.Durring our chat she was talking about how she had given up music a few times over the years to do other things, and when she got the hearing aides it was hard to get them programed the right way. We talked about her music for a while, and in the middle of it she said something about music not being as important to us as it is to her!!!! Well, I sorted that one and, I pointed out some of my happiest memories were of all of us around the piano singing and laughing, and how i would nag and nag her to play "jolly darkies".... I'm glad that she now knows how important her love of music is to me at least!!!! I still can hear that music in my head from start to finish, and I made it very clear that her love of music and her talent was a very big part of my life, and an enjoyable and important part of my life still!! I think she is back on the move thing, and that may be what the letter is about, she said something about pplaying for little kids, so I'm guessing she is making a firm choice now. who knows, she may...then again, she not...will see how it pans out.

Gee Sweetie, this must be so hard on you. I admire your ability to recognize and point out to your mom her influence in your life. It is not easy when one is grieving. You are a wonderful daughter...
