Another Year to Celebrate

Another year rolls by and my son
has aged another year.

I think we look at the years gone
by as lessons learned and friends
remembered.

We tend to cherish and renew old
freindships and relationships as the
years roll on.
Other relationships have shifted and
been lost through death and distance.
I am glad for each year that passes to
see the challenges my son faces and
solves as a husband, father,musician
and son. He has more patience than
I ever had but I remember being young
and taking it in stride when he was
growing up. My granson -that's a new
and daring episode in our lives. He has
his own computer at almost 4 years old.
At 4 years old neither my son or myself
knew a computer could be in your home.

Times change so rapidly now we can only
hope that each new birthday doesn't stop
us from being up close and personal with
those we love.

Today I wish the best for my son and all he
plans and sets goals to achieve. I know he
is working toward helping others achieve
also. Caring for the dreams of others and
watching their efforts is something I hope
I taught him to always seek.

And When I Die There Will Be One Child Born

My first husband and I were big fans of '60's
band Blood, Sweat & Tears. Our song was,
'You Make Me So Very Happy" but after
he wasn't happy with marriage & fatherhood
I chose 'And When I Die' as a song to follow
the remainder of my life.

If you find time to listen to the words of this
song and you are a parent it will remind you
to leave the right legacy. If you use playlist.com
you can find just about any song out there.
I will use music titles a lot in my blogs.
You may want to add that site to your favorites.

'And when I die, and when I'm gone there will
be one child born and this world to carry on.'
As a young mother I really thought the world
was on my shoulders-but it wasn't. My problems
just seemed so large because no one gave me that
Marriage & Parenthood How to book!
Oh-there really isn't one! I couldn't bring myself
to read Dr. Spock (the baby book-there was no Star
Trek yet) because he didn't have children nor was
he able to give birth. Today my favorite books
are those by Vicki Iovine, wife of Interscope
Records Chairman, Jimmy Iovine -I always hope
one day my son can try to play the long lost cousin
to Jimmy and get some touring money from the
label.

Alas, And when I die and when I am dead and gone.
There will be one child born and a world to carry on.
I hope there will be some who are able to cope because
my son is a musician and his music speaks from the
times and is meant to entertain.

Also from Blood,Sweat & Tears it is safe to conclude
with the song, 'God Bless the child that's got his own'
