Members nuke_diver Posted July 16, 2012 Members Share Posted July 16, 2012 Ten years ago today the reason I play guitar was gone as my mom passed away after losing her battle with Cancer. She gave me my first guitar even though I was looking to play guitar. I never got much past cowboy chords while she was alive. I have to think that she would be pleased to see where I am now (even though it's only a bit past cowboy chords). As this sad anniversary was approaching I started to work on this song. Even though it's about a girl every time I thought of the title and thought of her. I'm a long way away from getting it but I'll keep at it. I still think and miss her every day. Thank you Mom for the gift of music among all the others things . [video=youtube;jYpydtdlWxA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYpydtdlWxA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members xrleroyx Posted July 16, 2012 Members Share Posted July 16, 2012 Mojo. My dad died when I was 14. That's when I started playing. Keep your chin up man, at least she isn't suffering anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members nuke_diver Posted July 16, 2012 Author Members Share Posted July 16, 2012 Almost everyone will have or already has, lost someone to cancer. It's not so much of a sad day since though it doesn't seem so it was a long time ago. I wish she could have seen the level I've progressed to. Although not very good she would be overjoyed that I stuck with it I think. All in all playing the guitar is one of the best ways I can honour her memory Thanks guys mojo to all of you who also have lost loved ones to cancer.

Members noisebloom Posted July 16, 2012 Members Share Posted July 16, 2012 I lost my mother eight years ago this year, and I think she'd be happy to see I took up playing music again. Mojo to you and yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members deanmass Posted July 16, 2012 Members Share Posted July 16, 2012 Mojo. My dad died when I was 14. That's when I started playing. Keep your chin up man, at least she isn't suffering anymore. Well said. +1 Mojo to OP. Mom lives on in your heart, and manifests when you play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rog951 Posted July 16, 2012 Members Share Posted July 16, 2012 Gotta be a tough anniversary for you man! When I've lost a loved-one I like to think of how the time passing will help - and the sting does soften over the years, of course - but I find the passage of time also makes me feel farther away from their memory. One of life's little curses I guess, to go along with its many gifts. A great mom is such a blessing - here's to nuke_diver's mom! "To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die."

Members kulardenu Posted July 17, 2012 Members Share Posted July 17, 2012 Yep my Mom gave me my music genes, my first guitar and did everything to encourage it! Rest assured there is a special place in Heaven for them, God rest their souls... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
