So I talked to my mom an hour ago, that would be "Mama Codename" not @jillian (http://thepoliticalforums.com/member.php?u=719)

I got off and was a little teary-eyed. This song makes me think of home and family down there in Mississippi. I do remember that kid with the long hair and pickup truck who liked to play football and baseball and go out driving around with friends along the coast. So this song goes out to my Mama.

and for my other little squirt of a mama in NYC, thanks for making me feel loved jillian

So......hugs going out to Mama Codename from a girl in Ohio that misses her own Mom............

I left home for the army when I was 17. I never felt homesick. I was glad to be gone from there.


But that is probably not a good thing.

Here's an old, old song that I used to sing to my Mama.......when my son found that out, he learned to pick it out on a guitar (he can't play worth beans, LOL) and sings it to me every mother's day.

You'll notice I didn't send out a song to my father.

Both my mother and father were far from idea parents. They divorced when I was in college and my dad moved on- actually became a decent person before he died. And now my mom is dying from cancer and I can't bring myself to visit her. She made me the executor of her estate and I don't even want to do that. The house is paid for, but it is 1975 suck- so I guess I will just sell it as is. She has lots of investments (from the divorce) but now that I am divorced I don't need the money. Maybe I could pay off the mortgage on my condo and buy some land somewhere I would like to retire. But I have no idea where that is.

I hear ya. My father is a Vietnam vet with shell shock and wasn't exactly the type of dad you could wrestle with in the back yard. I probably got called pussy more times in my life from my father than the entire decade in the marines. I cried the first time we went hunting and he smacked me against the back of my head so hard I almost blacked out and then sent me back to the truck to sit by myself all day. Yeh, we got along great.

I played every tough sport I could. I did everything he wanted me to do. Meh.

Who cares now? My mother is the greatest, my sisters are fucking awesome, and I have good people in my life.

Dad's some better now that he's on meds and tries to make it up to me, but we'll just have a guy-guy relationship, not father-son.

You should just stay in VA, just move somewhere less congested. Charlottesville area is nice.

I should be back soon. We'll grab Ethereal from here and Green Arrow and all go get drinks on me.

I really like C-Ville. The Army JAG school is there so I have spent lots of time there. And drinks don't have to be on you. I am doing well.

In fact I am about to head over to Baileys and smoke a big fat cigar.

Alyosha won't shit.....she's a good gal and she understands guy-stuff.

I guess I'm just one of the luckiest girls on earth....to have had a Mom who was my best friend, and a Dad that always was and always will be my hero. Not everyone gets that in their life. Here's a an old, old song for my Daddy, "Papa Devil Dog" by another Marine....well, almost.....

My dad and I never had a good relationship, until I left home one month before my 19th birthday. Well...I say "left home," but really, he kicked me out. We fought all the time, every day, and almost never got along. The day he kicked me out was really just the culmination of all those years of rough.

After I moved to Virginia, however, we still fought over the phone from time to time. But then, it just...stopped. I had a job, an apartment. I was happy. Then he came all the way here from Tennessee to get me and bring me home when it all went to shit. Despite always fighting, I still tried to be what he wanted me to be, and that was where most of our problems were. I tried, he never acknowledged it. But when he brought me home to Tennessee and I lived with him and my family for two years, he finally told me he was proud of me. It meant the world to me. Our relationship has never been the same since...in a very, very good way.

Anyway...enough of that. I'm not a "country boy," I grew up in California, barely an hour and a half north of Los Angeles. While there was a huge country influence in Bakersfield, and my grandparents were home grown country kids, I grew up a California city boy, wearing bermuda shorts, t-shirts, and flip-flops year round and not really caring. When I moved to Tennessee, however, everyone I knew was "country." Even my family got turned country. I never felt more at home and more myself, than when I was in Chattanooga, driving around in a truck all day for work, blasting country music on my radio, with Dr. Pepper and beef jerkey in my center console. I learned to hunt, and to fish, and I felt great.

So, this would be my song:

Green Arrow, what a wonderful story about you and your Dad! I'm so glad that you and he have formed a positive relationship. I can tell you how very precious that relationship will be in 20 years. *hugs GA*

That's beautiful, Alyosha! Beneath that tough exterior, that professional lawyer that nobody better mess with.....lurks the sensitive soul of a poet. Love ya, gal!
