I remember the good old days. I was wild and feisty (not as feisty as Chrissy but still…) and most of all, I was tough. I mean sick puppies made me cry but not much else. Oh no!
Garry and I have been searching for the perfect ‘just married, back up the aisle we go’ song. I heard it today. Just a small snippet and I was excited. Garry came home and I mentioned it. He has it on his ipod, he played it for me.
Here comes the sun by Nina Simone
I sat listening to this happy song, looking at the man I love and just as Nina sang ‘here comes the sun, it’s all right’, sunlight flooded our living room and it was warm and beautiful. the absolute perfect moment of happiness and promise…. and I cried like a freaking baby.
I mean seriously, tears of utter blooming joy. What the hell is going on there. I used to set folks trousers on fire for Christ sake and here I am weeping!
Bloody weird I tell ya.

I love that song and I love Nina Simone!!
She left the states and moved to France decades ago. I have no idea whether she still lives.
She is definitely one of my favs.
Oh, I love you, too!

Nope, Nina’s been dead for about 6 years now..
Saw her in London and she was amazing.
