Mama

My mom suffered for over two years with Lou Gehrig's disease. It started in her extremities and gradually moved in to her core. Then she stopped breathing. She had a beautiful voice. She taught voice and piano in the house. She sang with the New Orleans Symphony Choir. She first noticed symptoms when she discovered she couldn't reach as big an interval on the piano as she had been able to. My interval is 22 years. Mom, I wrote you a song.
