I don't know about you but I relate a lot of my life memories, feelings, journeys, and all of my emotions to songs that were played by me, or were being played on the radio during those certain times in my life.
Like "No Hands" by wakka flocka, reminds me of my trip to Florida. I remember jamming out to it on repeat in the 27 hour drive. I hate rap, so it's crazy that the one genre I hate, holds one of my biggest memories.
So on my morning Pandora party a song came on that made me stop and smile.
As many of you know one of my most talked about topics was the loss of my grandfather, and finding life after his death. The first year was very very very hard for me, I was in college, an hour away from home, adjusting to the fact that my favorite person was not ever going to be present in my life again, at least not physically.
There are a number of songs that remind me of the sorrow, and the sadness that I felt, there are times when I can barley listen to those songs because all it does is flood back unhappy memories, and hurtful emotions.
but this certain song does not remind me of my grandfather, this song reminds me of my wonderful, beautiful mother who always told me to listen to this song, because one day things would make sense, one day I would be happy again, and One day I will...
but I cannot believe how right she was when it came to this song. Every single word hits my heart and it does nothing now but make me smile. I have found the "me I was meant to be" and it is everything my mother is.
Linking up with Because Shanna Said So for Random Wednesdays!
Your Mom is soooo pretty. Gosh, and you guys are like twins! Both beautiful! Love the song by the way, it's one of my favs! =)
ReplyDeleteYou both look identical. And, I love when our Momma's know us better than we know ourselves.
ReplyDeleteMusic? Is totally cathartic. But, how can you hate rap? We must work on this, girlfraaannnnn!
Isn't it funny how much songs can bring back old memories??
ReplyDeleteP.S. You and your mom look like sisters! xoxo
Thank you Hal, this means the world to me. I love and miss you so much, and I am so proud of the beautiful woman you have become, inside and outside. All I ever wanted for you was to find the "You you were meant to be" and you deserve every moment of happiness you have found!

ReplyDeleteI CANNOT believe that is your mother! She looks like she's your sister! Just found your blog from Wifessionals and am SO happy I did! I knew I had to check out your blog A. because it said oceanside, and I live for the ocean, and B. I love anchors! Strange, but true haha. I also left my friends and family and followed my heart down to Florida. I'm in West Palm Beach now :)
ReplyDeleteMoms are the best!! I will be 27 this month and I have no shame in admitting I need/want my momma when a day goes bad, someone has hurt me, when I don't feel good oh the list goes on. Momma's girl for sure! :)
