"That She'll Be There To Show Me 'Round, Whenever Comes That Day."
B
ack on February 24, I noted here that my mom had passed away. She'd been fighting diabetes and heart disease for the better part of 20 years. She'd fought courageously, and had repeatedly and gracefully accepted changes in her life that would have sent many people into a final tailspin. But the diseases finally overcame her. My wife and I watched her slip away last Sunday at around 12:30 a.m.
The experience of losing a parent is nothing I find myself able to put into words, and probably not something I'd write about here even if I had the words.
But here's a song in her honor, from a band that, if you read this blog, you might know is my favorite. I'll let Glenn and Chris say a couple of things for me, in a more enjoyable format than I could ever muster.
