Al...Gosh...you know how to make a guy feel good....that is so nice to say....and I appreciate it very much....

My Mom had been ill....she was 81...she was a great lady...

The last 6 weeks for us have been "hell".....Terri is strong...thank goodness....she loved her Dad and misses him terribly.....hence came this song....she hasn't heard it yet...I know she'll cry.....that's why I haven't told her yet....

We're all doing ok now....starting to get back on track....it's Terri, her Mom, and I now living in the big old house...man this old place gets cold....but it's got a good feel to it....

I am so sorry to hear about Helen....I had told Terri a few weeks ago that she was doing so much better....we will pray for you and Helen.....

Thanks so much again for your kind words....Bob

Ihadn't heard about your mother. I am very sorry to get that news. My father died in 1968. My mother lives in branson and is 85 years old. She could probably kick both of our butts!

As Bill said, this isn't a song that needs crits...just listens. Helen is going through another very serious, potentially life-threatening crisis right now, so this song speaks to me in a somewhat different way.

Glad that uo're okay and that Terri is starting to cope. Here's wishing you and Terri all the best from Helen and me.
