Mother's Day (another Hallmark holiday) is coming up. For those of us whose mothers are no longer alive, this holiday can be hard. The emptiness that never goes away by the void that is left can at times be overwhelming. And Mother's Day just serves to big it to the surface. Unless you've lost your mother, you can't really know how it feels. Especially if she was a big part of your life.Barry knows how it feels. And every time he sings "You're There" or "I Am Your Child" you can hear it in his voice. I've also wondered if when he sings "Somewhere Down the Road" he isn't thinking about her as well. It's that longing-that absolute feeling of loss. It's a feeling that creeps up when things happen in your life that you would want to call your mother and share with her. Or that feeling of being alone that you feel when you would just like your mother to hold you and tell you it's going to be ok.
I guess that's one thing Barry and I have in common. We know what it's like to lose our mothers and to have to go on because "she would have wanted it that way."
