Long May.

The three of us, about 15 years ago


May is a long month for me, since a couple of very sensible loses I had above all. My brother's and my mother's, they both passed away some years ago now.

The thing is their both birthdays are in may and also here we celebrate the mother's day the second weekend of this month, this weekend we are living now. So this is a bit sad weekend for me cause I keep missing them around and they both, as I see it, went away too early, no previous head ups and certainly in unexpected ways in which, of course, I won't dig in.

Just making the point that Goodbye's the Saddest Word that maybe we'll ever hear and say, but also the title of a beautiful song that I've liked and carried for years in my heart and preference even and since then, when she(my beloved mama was alive, she also liked it a lot, both, the song and the singer).

A tear might fall down today or tomorrow, or any time in may, or might not cause I'm hard to cry sometimes. I'm no sad though, a bit nostalgic, yeah, but I've stored pretty good memories and teachings of them in here that keep me warm and satisfied of the time they were and we spent together.

Anyway.She(not mom) was the one who made me feel goosebumps for the first time with music. I was a young man that liked english as a language and was trying to learn it as well, moved by music in English above all, which I liked a lot and still do, also it (music) was very helpful with the learning process.

She (still not mom although she did as well) stood by me through youthness darkest hours( not that they were that dark at all but young men and girls tend to magnify things, about love above all and it's ok).

Her name is Celine Dion, and she was the first singer I fell for completely, not her body or face, but her voice and songs, some people I know call her(disrespectfully) a shouter, I might not know a thing about music technically but I do know how to appreciate it and I totally disagree, but that's ok too. I like her music and she's also the first and one of the few I can listen to a lot of songs in a row wothout getting bored and knowing by heart most of her wongs lyrics. That's the way it is.

So today, for Us, those who are now without the sweet presence of our mother and those who also like Celine Dion's music I'm dropping this #saturdayselections to, maybe, relive some beautiful moments through out memories and give her(mom) that last hug I would had given to my mother If I could have had the chance to before she left.

The pain of losing loved ones is never forgotten...only with time do we learn to carry it within us. Remember your mother as the being of light she is, through the best songs, the best moments...through your resemblance to her...she is in you eternally.

Céline Dion is a voice forever...all her songs are a musical gem...and those who think otherwise don't know what they're talking about...they're stupid...

Spend a peaceful day in the love and care of your wife, family, and children...

I've been exposed to that kind of pain many times, but guess that's life as well, as it is dealing with it and chosing what will you take with you to keep in your heart either the joy of beautiful memories or the pain the of last and irreversible good bye.

Thank you.💚

That's just sad, and your brothers still young when it happened. But yeah, that's already part of life, death I mean. What we can only do now is move on.

Anyways Celine Dios is really an amazing sinher. There's a lot of her song that I really love. Her soothing voice can just heal, thats what I felt on her music.

I enjoyed reading your piece. You write authentically from the best, I can tell and the flow of your thoughts has a musical cadence to it. Thanks for sharing about difficult subjects.

Glad you enjoyed it. One must write down and out from anything inside. It's one good way to get ot out and relieve by sharing it all. Music is a good reliever as well. Thanks.

I'm with you. Writing really makes a difference and singing, sometimes loud, can be so therapeutic as well.
