I rushed out to get a copy of Carly Simon's CD Reflections as soon as I could. She and her son and daughter, both off-spring of James Taylor (my other the most favorite singer) were guests on the Oprah show a couple of weeks ago and her son, I think his name was Ben looks just like his Dad and her daughter was a blonde beauty and they could sing their asses off!!! Anyway, I was on my way home from a visit with my Dad - in deep thought about how frail and old he was looking and the song (#18 on the CD) Like A River came on - the words are awesome. I broke down in tears - of course, all I could think of was my Mother who passed away in April of '90, and the lyrics hit me. Everyone MUST hear this song!!! It starts out mourning the loss of her mother then changes to questions to her mother about the afterlife which then made be laugh and cry at the same time. Everyone in my family was convinced that you actually came back to visit loved ones after your demise & moved things, protected & guided the members left behind and this song was just written for every daughter that has lost a mother. It is truly deeply moving and beautiful - get ready for a good cry.link | posted by BootyJC at 3:13 PM
