#05: “Closer to the Edge”

November 12, 2015 by Shelia

SONG: “Closer to the Edge” ARTIST: 30 Seconds to Mars What does this song mean to me? Before my mom passed away, just another song my soul connected with. When she was in the hospital, the song I vowed to play every day until she got out. Now that she’s passed away? My way of knowing that she is with me.

Happy Birthday to Lek

June 5, 2014 by Shelia

I should be asleep, but my brain won’t shut off and I wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA! It’s almost one and will be past one by the time this posts. I know, I should be asleep, I have work in the morning. I know you’re watching over me right now, slightly shaking your head. I’ll just have to be tired tomorrow. It’ll be worth it. You would have been 66 years young today. Can you believe that?!? I know […]
