Between the rain showers

One of my regular visits to the cemetry and moms and dads memorial stone. (right above my saddle)
It always brings me peace, great memories and thankfulness to go there! They did a fantastic job raising the four of us kids!  :-) 
Dad passed away only 57 years of age, way too soon.
Mom lived well both physical and in spirit till she reached 89 years. She was my major mentor.
She always backed me up, no matter what, my whole life and I did the same to her. Her last 4 years she lived in a retirement home just a 5 minutes walk from my house. I had one of my guitars in her room and I often strolled down there and pulled off a music gig. I`d play and sing them old songs that I had listened to and learned when friends of my parents turned up at our house and the guitar, mandolin and the harmonica was played into the nights with great singing. I was about 12-14 years of age. At 15 I was allowed to stay up and play with them and that was great fun.
- Her last years she really enjoyed these sessions and sung along like a lot of the elders did and this made our day, both theirs and mine!  
She knew every single word in all them songs and she was the lead singer together with me! :-D 
Beast Mom and Dad Ever! Bless their hearts !  :-)
