It's been just over two weeks since Mom has passed away. I've had a difficult time accepting that she is no longer here, often listening for her or starting to go up to check on her. I've even asked Nicole to please send pictures of Sybil and Cora for Nan to see as they bring her such joy. As I was walking Cooper this morning, I just started singing Doris Day's song, Whatever Will Be Will Be. Many of you who know me, know that I can't sing a lick. But, there I was singing and crying like crazy, hoping no one would see or hear me. This song was playing throughout the day Mom passed away along with all her favorites, Ella Fitzgerald, Louie Armstrong, Frank, Perry, etc.
Here are the lyrics:
When I was just a little girl
I asked my mother, what will I be
Will I be pretty
Will I be rich
Here's what she said to me
Que será, será
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que será, será
What will be, will be
When I grew up and fell in love
I asked my sweetheart, what lies ahead
Will we have rainbows
Day after day
Here's what my sweetheart said
Que será, será
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que será, será
What will be, will be
Now I have children of my own
They ask their mother, what will I be
Will I be handsome
Will I be rich
I tell them tenderly
Que será, será
Whatever will be, will be
The future's not ours to see
Que será, será
What will be, will be
Que será, será
