Jonathan,
Thank-you, so much, for the Mother's Day song. That brought back so many
wonderful memories for me. Back in the 1970's, when I was in juniour high
(showing my age?), our church added a Spanish language mass on Saturday
evenings. That was the days of the folk mass popularity. Anyways, my
sister and her husband, myself and a few others were "the folk band" for
this particular mass every Saturday. Well, to make a long story short, one
Saturday we played and sang "Las Mananitas," as we did a procession around
the church. Those were such fun times, getting together to practice the
songs and playing them in church (it wasn't so boring to go then), and just
the good feelings that came from it. I don't remember the particular
occasion for singing that song, but I have never forgotten it, sing it still
once in a while, just to sing it. It is such a beautiful song. Thank-you,
as well, to those who shared its translation.
This has been one of the best Mother's Days I've had! I've been a mom for
28 years! I won't tell you how long my mother has been a mom. I'd really
give away how old I am!
