Today would’ve been my mom’s 76th birthday (April 10, 1950). As of this year, she’s been gone for 20 years now. This photo was taken in the Philippines, I was 4 years old.
She was an Aries and loved music and action movies, the violent kind. She was also a piano teacher. Her independent, creative and fiery spirit is what brought me to California. Here is a song that is stuck in my head right now that reminds me of her – Sealed with a Kiss by Bobby Vinton
I was the rebellious daughter who tried to be good but didn’t always listen. I had my own independent, creative and fiery spirit and had to follow my own artistic path. Thank you for allowing me to become who I am, even though you didn’t always agree. I love and respect you, most of all I miss you.
