My Song Memories
Number
4 and its accompanying memory
Sadly,
few songs remind me of my mother and none of my father. This song, The Great
Pretender, will always bring up memories of my mom. Unfortunately, my mom
was a complete alcholic. Some times I would actually go to whatever bar she
was drinking at and sit and talk to her. She was always trying to show me
off to her friends, something I dearly hated, but moms will be moms. If there
was one song my mom always asked me to play for her, it was The Great Pretender.
I don't know why to this day but she loved that song. I have come to learn
a lot about my mom in recent years from her sister and other relatives in
Mass. Few women have had a tougher life than she did. Regretably, much of
this was brought on by her own wild ways. I don't know what she was pretending,
but I feel it helped her get through whatever pain she was living with. My
mom died at age 39, when I was only 17. What I wouldn't give to be able to
show her today how much I loved her. Like most people, I didn't do it when
I had the chance. If your mom is still alive today and you are reading this,
do something nice for her. Thanks.
