memories made through music

Like a long, lonely stream
I keep runnin' towards a dream
Movin' on, movin' on
Like a branch on a tree
I keep reachin' to be free
Movin' on, movin' on

There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for everyone
Where my poor, restless heart's got to run
There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Gotta find me a place in the sun

Like an old dusty road
I get weary from the load
Movin' on, movin' on
Like this tired, troubled Earth
I been rollin' since my birth
Movin' on, movin' on

There's a place in the sun
Where there's hope for everyone
Where my poor, restless heart's gotta run
There's a place in the sun
And before my life is done
Gotta find me a place in the sun
Gotta find me a place in the sun

Engelbert Humperdinck - his songs are timeless.....
I heard these songs way back in the early 80's. And listening to him brings back memories of a wonderful childhood. 
Dad, mom, my brother, my Papa and me.....5 people, maybe a few hundred square feet of space.....lots of love......and lovely music.

It's 44 after 1

Time flies............and it flies fast. No warnings....no replays.....no rewind.
Time brings with it moments which unfold with every passing day...every passing hour....every passing minute... And it was in such a passing minute that Tanya chose to walk! This was a minute of waking to a realization that bunny was growing up and boy...was she growing fast.

27th January 2013....Republic Day.....at Nana-Papa's home.......Tanya walked.
To an extremely charmed audience comprising of her Nana, her Luiza nana....Jocelyn mashaan, Sybil mashaan, her mamma, Dada and her Didi, Tanya showed off her newly acquired skill with so much enthusiasm and delight it was impossible to take our eyes of her.

"Come to Mamma", " Come to Dada", "Come to Didi", "Come to Nana"..........and awwwwww she obliged us all with that endearing smile that never went away from her face...........100% satisfaction guaranteed :-)  

That is probably one of the few milestones I have been able to record of my sunflower...my little bunny girl.

Today.....44 days after Tanya has turned 1 year old; I Annette.............mommy to Aisha and Tanya am again attempting to script memories for my loved ones, my friends and my family. And I hope I am able to do justice to my girls :-)

To Aisha and Tanya!
