Something Nice

[Sherryanne]

I just want to share a little experience I have had this morning. It probably won't mean anything to some people but it means everything to me.
I am staying at my daughters, dog sitting, as their dog sitter can't come this week. So I had the plan of preparing a painting for a friend. It's of a medieval/gothic lady surrounded by forest and will have a small castle in the background. The lady will be the dominant subject and be centre of the painting. I decided I would have her holding a crystal ball in one hand. As I am still very much a learner in figures/hands I put into google - how to draw a hand holding a crystal ball. I want to get the shape and fingers right. So I start going down the photos of all these hands holding a crystal ball when a song started going round in my head.

Some Enchanted Evening.

It quickly occurred to me that this was my late mum and dad's song - from first meeting in Egypt. It was very special to them, especially my mum. And then there is the crystal ball connection, which I had not connected at the time of searching. My mum had a crystal ball for many years and it was passed on to my daughter. So it's actually somewhere here in this house!

It's a good while since I heard my mum's voice going round in my head and for this song to come out of the blue means so much. I always got mixed up with their song and kept thinking it was Strangers in the Night. So it is odd I found myself 'hearing' this song.

I put youtube on with Strangers in the night, along with the lyrics (I only know the chorus) and I sang along to it with tears running down my face - sad but happy tears.

Thank you mum and dad x
