Happy Mother's Day to all of the VJ Moms.....

And a special shout out to my own mother, D, who is the most amazing driving force in my life. Also, a remembrance to my beloved grandmother, R, who was a mother to me.

My song to them has always been 'Because You Loved Me'

For all those times you stood by me

For all the truth that you made me see

For all the joy you brought to my life

For all the wrong that you made right

For every dream you made come true

For all the love I found in you

Ill be forever thankful baby

Youre the one who held me up

Never let me fall

Youre the one who saw me through through it all

You were my strength when I was weak

You were my voice when I couldnt speak

You were my eyes when I couldnt see

You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldnt reach

You gave me faith coz you believed

Im everything I am

Because you loved me

You gave me wings and made me fly

You touched my hand I could touch the sky

I lost my faith, you gave it back to me

You said no star was out of reach

You stood by me and I stood tall

I had your love I had it all

Im grateful for each day you gave me

Maybe I dont know that much

But I know this much is true

I was blessed because I was loved by you

You were my strength when I was weak

You were my voice when I couldnt speak

You were my eyes when I couldnt see

You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldnt reach

You gave me faith coz you believed

Im everything I am

Because you loved me

You were always there for me

The tender wind that carried me

A light in the dark shining your love into my life

Youve been my inspiration

Through the lies you were the truth

My world is a better place because of you

You were my strength when I was weak

You were my voice when I couldnt speak

You were my eyes when I couldnt see

You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldnt reach

You gave me faith coz you believed

Im everything I am

Because you loved me

You were my strength when I was weak

You were my voice when I couldnt speak

You were my eyes when I couldnt see

You saw the best there was in me

Lifted me up when I couldnt reach

You gave me faith coz you believed

Im everything I am

Because you loved me

Im everything I am

Because you loved me

And Imma kick it old school with another shout out to my Mom & Nan...

I've had my share of life's ups and downs

But fate's been kind, the downs have been few

I guess you could say that I've been lucky

Well, I guess you could say that it's all because of you

If anyone should ever write my life story

For whatever reason there might be

Ooh, you'll be there between each line of pain and glory

'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me

Ah, you're the best thing that ever happened to me

Oh, there have been times when times were hard

But always somehow I made it, I made it through

'Cause for every moment that I've spent hurting

There was a moment that I spent, ah, just loving you

If anyone should ever write my life story

For whatever reason there might be

Oh, you'll be there between each line of pain and glory

'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me

Oh, you're the best thing that ever happened to me

I know, you're the best thing, oh, that ever happened to me

And let's all say a prayer/have a special thought for all those VJ peeps who have moms that have passed. Losing my grandmother was the most awful thing to ever happen to me, and I mourn her death every day of my life. She is always missed, but never forgotten, and always loved. But she is a part of me that I carry every second of every day, and I know she's watching over me always....

Happy Mother's Day, Nanny....I miss you so fkin much!

Are we not like two volumes of one book? -Marceline Desbordes-Valmore

All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel Mother.

If I were hanged on the highest hill,

Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!

I know whose love would follow me still,

Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!

If I were drowned in the deepest sea,

Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!

I know whose tears would come down to me,

Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!

If I were damned of body and soul,

I know whose prayers would make me whole,

Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!

~ by Rudyard Kipling

Happy Mother's Day, Mothers!
