Friday’s Music and Why It topped My Charts In 2018

Friday’s music topped my charts and I Finish the Job:

Friday’s music and why it topped my charts;  I Finish the job in tears.

As my readers know Mom died during the holiday season, Her Journey Is Complete My parents taught us many things while growing up.

One thing they taught us is to finish the job. The day after Mom passed away and the day before laying her to rest next to my father…I had to clean her room at the nursing home and take everything to my storage to go through soon.

As I put the last box in the SUV and closed the hatch…I thought about me and my “to do” list shortening now.

How She Got The Last Word:

As I turned the motor on to head home this song began to play and I sat in the parking lot…through the whole song thinking, Mom got the last word once again!!

Everything’s Gonna Be Alright

She rattled the ice in my plastic cup
I said "yes m'am", fill her up
Tell me something good that I don't know
'Cause this world's been kicking my behind
Life ain't been a friend of mine
Lately I've been feeling kinda low
And she looked back over her shoulder
Pointed at the sign hanging up on the wall
It said

Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
And nobody's gotta worry 'bout nothing
Don't go hittin' that panic button
It ain't worth spilling your drink
Everything's gonna be alright
Alright, alright

So I nodded my head and said, "that's for sure"
Dropped a few bucks in the mason jar
Felt those good old neon vibes on me
And whatever monkey that was on my back

He jumped off just like that
Right into the deep blue sea
And I looked back over her shoulder
Thinking 'bout the sign hanging up on the wall
That said

Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
Nobody's gotta worry 'bout nothing
Don't go hitting that panic button
It ain't near as bad as you think
Everything's gonna be alright
Alright, alright

There ain't no doubt it's gonna work out
Come on, sing it with me
There ain't no doubt it's gonna work out
Come on and sing it with me

Everything's gonna be alright
Everything's gonna be alright
And nobody's gotta worry 'bout nothing
Don't go hitting that panic button
It ain't near as bad as you think

Everything's gonna be alright
Alright (is gonna be alright), alright (is gonna be alright)
Everything's gonna be alright
Alright (is gonna be alright), alright (is gonna be alright)
(Everything's gonna be alright)
(Is gonna be alright, is gonna be alright)
(Everything's gonna be alright)
(Is gonna be alright, is gonna be alright)

    I am sorry for your loss.
    It’s the first anniversary of losing my Mum today. I sat at the keyboard and played a few of her favourites, including My Heart must go On, Wind Beneath my Wings and Unchained Melody.

      Thank you…you know everyone calls it a loss, but if people knew her story…they would understand clearly that God answered her prayers and that her kids and grandkids and great grandkids are stronger people because of her life.
