Of all the people… of all songs??!! Never did I choose this. My Higher Power came on my heart as I had thoughts of Mom. “Barry Manilow — There’s a piece of a song in my heart… what is that song??? It’s on me — pieces of lyrics running into pieces of melody!!” And there it was!
I walked over to Mom’s photo, Francesco sitting on her lap (not a baby, mind you! She loved it!!!)
“Mom: You knew exactly what all of the changing landscapes of your life meant. You knew for sure that you were being asked to begin the walk towards home. You surrendered to what was so. You did not burden me with intention. You were so grateful for me. (And I for you.) Thank you, Mom, for somehow chosing me to “be your person.”
Your spirit lives on, of this I am certain. You have achieved some crown of Glory in God’s (as I understand God) eternal presence. And all that was for you and of you, you have been fully and for all eternity been released from.
Yes, Mom, it’s Daybreak. Finally. Travel Well.”
