I have been reading a novel most of the day that I can't wait to get back to and I hate this blog more than ever at the moment.
Rewind 2 days...While I was at a doctor's appointment with my mother Abbey called me crying. She needed her mom. I have been so absent dealing with my mom - the true meaning of the sandwich generation. Katie told her that she couldn't sing and she was crushed.
Rewind 35 years...It brought me back... many years. My brother Matt, just 15 months older than me told me I couldn't sing. I think I was 6. And when I didn't listen so he popped me in the nose. And when that didn't work he beat me silly. Where was our mother?
Fast forward...I believed him and stopped signing. Sad but true. The power of older sibling's words.
The two friends that I have known the longest as both amazing singers. Not just good signers but great, unique singers. I think that is why I admire them most.
Present day...
Watching my friend Nikki tonight singing with her daughter. Just a couple of songs, but honestly I could listen for hours.
