Music Mondays: A Gemini's Playlist
Good morning, blogosphere! Starting something new today. My musical tastes pretty much run the gamut. Just like everything else in my Gemini life; I can't seem to tie myself down to just one niche. Here is who I am listening to this week. I would love to hear what's playing on your Ipod/Pandora/Mp3 Player. Any suggestions for me as well! Have a musical Monday! Oh and I know it's not Monday. Didn't get to post this yesterday. Just credit it as Tardy Tuesday.

In Her Eyes: For My Mother and My Daughter
FACT: There will always be that one song that can make you stop whatever you are doing and cry uncontrollably. For some, it might be their wedding song. Maybe "At Last" by Etta James? For others, it will be the song that reminds you of the night your first boyfriend broke up with you. (Forget a song, Jagged Little Pill was the pillow I cried on!)
Without fail, the song that makes me want to curl up in a fetal position and sob unashamedly is "In My Daughter's Eyes" by Martina McBride. I first heard the song when my mom sang it to me at my baby shower. It was beautiful and made everyone cry. My mother and I have always been close but we had a tumultuous stretch of trying times right before my daughter was conceived. (No thanks to that damn party girl!) Listening to her sing with tears in her eyes "Everything becomes a little clearer, I realize what life is all about, It's hangin' on when your heart has had enough, It's giving more when you feel like giving up" while cradling my stomach holding my unborn baby girl, no words can express how I felt at that moment. And now, while the little girl who "was sent to rescue me" runs her hand over my face and says "I love you, Mommy", the song has come full circle.
In my daughter's eyes, I see my mother. I love you both very much.
P.S. Would love to know everyone's sob song. Also, what do YOU see in your child's eyes?

Two lovely ladies
