We invited some friends over on Sunday evening with the intent to take them over to sing for my parents.
They had been singing as a family for many years but now most of their children have left home. But they still sound great and we had a wonderful evening.
Mom loved it! She had a huge smile and kept her foot going with the music all evening. They sang a lot of familiar songs including the Louvin Brother's, Drunkard's Plea, mom always loved that song.
At 8:00 I knew there was no sense trying to get her to bed, there was no way she would have been ready, We waited till 9 and then she was OK with it.
It's amazing to me how I can stand right in front of my mom, make eye contact, ask her a direct yes or no question and get a blank stare. But when someone comes with a guitar and a song she lights up like a lightbulb and keeps time with the music.
A huge thank you to Jim, Gina and Sara Hershey! Thank you for lighting up mom's life for an evening.
