I'm singing at a concert tonight on what used to be my mother's birthday. She died over a year ago. I don't know where she is now, but I'll sing extra loud just in case she can hear me.
This is one of the pieces the Philharmonia Chorus is singing at the Albert Hall tonight -- Handel's Zadok the Priest. It's beautiful but all those high notes are hard for me to sing. My vocal chords need more stamina.
My Day so Far
Such luxury to wake up late to an empty house (except for the cat) because I took the day off for the concert. I said Happy Birthday to my mother then feasted on a
a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on white bread and ate Pringles. And I had a real Coke. A very sinful meal for me but such fun.
Need to force myself to go for a quick run in the park by my house but it's hard. The sun's out today so I'm hoping for time to sit out there and read a little before I have to drive into London.
Late Morning update
I put my Ipod on the Byrds classic album from the '60s, one of my mother's favorites, and ran in the park. Then I came back and made a donation to the MS Society (my mother suffered terribly with Multiple Sclerosis). I feel like I celebrated her birthday as much as I can given that the birthday girl has departed this world.

Happy Birthday, Meemers! I'll make a donation to MS as well, and also to the Animal Rescue folks, to honor her love for Snoopy and Fluffy. And to end the day in her honor, I'll make LE some Chicken Imperial from her recipe! I hope she is happy in Paradise.
I think you made a great day celebrating her and her favorite things. And even got that run in park accomplished. Congrats!
I'm sure she'll be listening to your concert with pride.
