Post #40 - Another Poem

If roses grow in heaven,
God please pick a bunch for me.
Place them in my uncle's arms,
And tell him they're from me.

Tell him I love and miss him,
And when he turns to smile,
Place a kiss upon his cheek,
And hold him for awhile.

Because remembering him is easy,
I do it every day,
But there's an ache within my heart,
Because I am missing him today.

Post #39 - Song

Hey guys,

Jimmy told me about this song. It's sung by a local artist named E.V. who actually goes to SFU with Jimmy's friend, Birinder (Bear). Bear plays the dhol for E.V. - but not in this song.

Anyways, E.V. and his friend wrote this song for their moms. Their moms are both single mothers. They're hoping to get it played on the Beat 94.5 on Mother's Day. They made a video for the song as well by asking fans to send in pictures of themselves with the closest people in their lives. The first 100 or so pictures were selected and are in the video, which is a slideshow.

...Something about the CHORUS of this song really touched me and made me think about Mama...and you, Roger. Don't really know why. Here it is:

If I could stand tall for a moment,
Not fall for a moment,
I would make it to that moment for you.

If I could inhale for a second,
Exhale for a second,
I’d breathe that second for you...

Maybe I should face every moment,
And not chase every moment,
Embrace more moments with you.

But now I’m on the grind every second,
Instead of lying every second,
I'm gonna make it to the top for you...

Here's the link to hear & see the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zlw5vrqicLs

...Thanks Jimmy! I've said it before and I'll say it again, you have great taste in music :)

Post #38 - Happy V-Day...plus Blog Update

Hey guys,

I'm sorry I haven't posted over the last few weeks. I'll try my best to make a new post soon...and of course you're all welcome to make one as well.

...Love Karen

PS: The new Blogger made me update the entire page, so I lost all the links! I was so choked when I realized what happened, but I tried to recover them. I think I have them all. Who knew making a website was so hard, huh?

PPS: Roger & Jason - you guys can still make posts, but from my understanding, you'll sign in as "guests" until you update your settings.
