I've discovered songs I didn't know reading your posts. I admit that for a while now I've been away from music a bit. π Well, that's not quite so, as my neighbors keep me updated with their "music" At work they are amazed, that at my age, I know the "reparto" hits π They even wonder if I run away from home on disco nights ππππ
But well, back to music, the real stuff, I feel I'm a bit out of date. Of your 3 today I only knew Take That's.
Cemeteries to me don't have the meaning that our culture's funeral rites have assigned to them. I feel neither love, nor rejection for these. They are just the place where our bones go when we die. I am trying to convince those who survive me not to bother to bury me, but it happens, because of where I live, making me ashes can be even more cumbersome. Anyway, the important thing in remembering someone is not where the memories are invoked.
Today is a day when memories come back. I took my mother-in-law to the cemetery (I'm an electric bike man, remember? π ) There were a lot of people there, they no doubt needed it to keep the memory alive. My respects.
The important thing is not to stay there, follow the tradition and celebrate the lives of the Mothers who are still among us. That is what is important.
Congrats to you, as I know (from your writings) how motherly you are. π»
