Mother of Mine

To all of our mothers at home (which would include two people.. Lynnette and Betty). We want to wish you a very Happy Mother's Day and tell you that we are so thankful to have mothers like you, who loved us and taught us so much through the years; sometimes through mental lessons, sometimes through physical (the words "do you want me to get the stick" come to mind for me and Scott recalls a hand reaching for the belt). I'm sure these lessons were well deserved although we didn't think so at the time, but we appreciate them now. We miss you both very much and we would love to be back home to celebrate the day that is set asside to honor those who brought us into this world. But as we cannot be there for another four months, we want you both to know that we love you and cannot imagine how on earth we would have survived this far in life had it not been for the firm and loving hands of our mothers guiding us all the way. As a wise man is fond of quoting: "She's your mother, God love her, She's as true as a prayer". As our gift to you both this mother's day, we have recorded a few tunes. Simply click here to see them. These are very "rough" recordings and you know the saying that "he has a face only a mother would love"... well, these may be recordings that only a mother could possibly love.

Happy Mother's Day! We love you very much!

Love Deborah and Scott

I wrote "Mom gave birth in pain" for my mother, who loves hot dogs in summer, and the one titled "A word that means the world to me," written by Howard Johnson and Theodore Morse, sung here by Deborah, originally recorded by Eddy Arnold, is for Lynnette. "Scott plays hard for the ladies back home" is again mostly for Betty, though its for all the people who have acted as my mother through the years, such as the honoured Lynette, Darlene Robison and Donna Meulenkamp.
