My better half has been visiting her family back in Liverpool, England for the last seven weeks. Her mum is doing poorly (Parkinson and dementia) and we thought she might pass when she developed pneumonia two months ago. My Hil went back to be with her. Her mum bucked up and has stabilized, but she is still in hospice, so Hil is coming home.
I’ve missed Hil terribly and this song always makes me think about her and smile…
The title is: “Your Song“. The performer is: Sir Elton John. And, my favorite line is: “How wonderful life is while you’re in the world.“
My wife and I were walking our dog this morning and a “techno / hopped-up” version of this classic R&B song was blasting out of a garage. I HAD to listen to the original – so I thought I’d share it…
The towels were so thick there I could hardly close my suitcase.

[Today my wife will be boarding a jet to go visit her family back in Liverpool. Her mum isn’t doing too well these days and this may be Hil’s last chance to be with her before her mum passes. The trip will be sad for Hil and lonely for me as she will be away for seven weeks. As with every separation, I miss her before she has even gone. Sometimes, I’m just silly that way…
PS: Today’s post title is a line from the song: “Ferry Cross The Mersey“, by Gerry and the Pacemakers. Liverpool sits on the north shore of the River Mersey estuary. LOL …And so ends today’s combo musical lyrics and geography lesson for today. — KMAB]
