All of us have baggage which, we carry with us all of the time. What’s in the bag? Hope.
Since, everyone is celebrating Mom today, it’s appropriate to express what Mom holds dear, which is, hope. Mom, whether times are difficult or pleasant, holds onto hope for the lives of her children as well as her own. We’re all born into this bag of a body which stores hope at its core.

No. 3 of 7: You Were Always There by Donna Fargo
This song was among a box of 45’s I was handed from a throw away pile as a teen. I had a portable record player. This might date me; although I never had one as old as Edison’s lovely decorative cylindrical gramophone phonographs, so I’m still a pup. If you do not remember 45’s, they are the smallest of the vinyl records and held the equivalent version of todays digital single hit release, only you received two songs, one on each side of the record… bonus! The flip side to the title listed above was the hit release: Funny Face, also by Donna Fargo; this one I was familiar with from the radio; the other was new to me back then and it can still bring on tear-filled emotion if heard at the right time and on the right day. One reason is because it speaks to opportunity lost, not only between mother and daughter, also for each of them individually. I won’t say there is nothing, which can make us sadder than feeling we’ve missed out on something great; but I would include it with the worst of frustrations.
It's funny you should say that...
