I brought this up again as yesterday was a very sad day for me. After being a mother for 31 years, my son left for his third year of college. My oldest daughter has been married for almost 11 years and my 18 year old graduated from high school in June and moved out in July and is working full time. Being a mother is a wonderful experience, as some of us know, and so I was very sad yesterday. I got out Songbook and Early Lightfoot and asked Gord to sooth my soul. As some of you know if really am fond of the son THE FIRST TIME EVER I SAW HER FACE that was also sang by Roberta Flack in the 60's. I want each of you who has that cd, tape or record to get it out and listen to it. Gord's voice is so true and the arrangement is so simple. Listen to the way he sings each word. Truly from heaven. Thanks Gord for helping me through yesterday and today will be better.
