Today is Mom's birthday


Though she passed away many years ago, I still think of her every May 1st.  I also always listen on this day, alone somewhere, this time in Las Vegas, to this song.




The sound isn't great, but the music is.  The song devastates me every time.

I miss Mom.  I miss Ed.  I miss Zevon.  I miss so many people I've lost.

I do keep them in my heart, and I plan to always do so.

Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Just my luck: My bloodthirsty killing machine was better with both kids and women than I was.”
Jon in "Slanted Jack" by Van Name

“Of course," Lobo said. "It's not like this is my first dance, and it's not as if you've cornered the market on paranoia.”
Mark L. Van Name, Children No More

“Please recall that she rescued you from torture not so many years ago, and do try to be nice" Lobo
I remembered, but the last thing I wanted was social coaching from a killing machine. Jon”
Mark L. Van Name, Children No More
