Memory #21
Since I've talked about things/habits that my mom did while I was growing up I figured I would continue on with this little trend, especially because these can sometimes be the things that you have to sit down and search in every nook and cranny of your brain to recall them. And additionally they are almost always the things that make me smile. Think to yourself now. What song makes you think of your parents? Maybe its something they sang to you often, maybe its a song that came on a lot while with them, or maybe its a song whose contents remind you of your parents. For instance when I was born into this world my parents first played for me the Aggie War hymn (Which is a really awesome story to tell now) and then my dad played "What a Wonderful World" and no matter what every time I hear it I think about my dad.
I don't really remember my mom singing this song to me a lot, I do have faint memories of her singing it to me when I was in kindergarten. What song you ask? You are my Sunshine. While she didn't always sing it to me I have countless notes that quote this song. I didn't realize how much of an impact this song had on me until I watched this commercial AND BAWLED MY EYES OUT.
I weirdly could not find this video on YouTube...so that will have to do. I saw this commercial for the first time last year (I think) and on the spot cried. That's right folks a Tylenol commercial made me cry. Not even embarrassed...(Maybe just a tad). The song still makes me sad/happy...that's an emotion...right? It is now!
Love Always,
Erin
