It’s a good thing to do, Neela, since you only get your family members once in your life. When my dad was around we IM’d nightly; maybe that’s something you could integrate, eh?

That was great that your parents told you that, and kept encouraging you towards greatness. And look what you’ve accomplished!

It’s nice to read that your parents had the foresight for you. So many African-American parents want the best for their children but because the time period in which they grew up–they never really tell you how to grasp it.

My parents used to tell me there was nothing I couldn’t do and to always know if I fell on hard times “I could always come back home.” That was my motivation to make it!

I’m sorry for your lost, Mitch. Trust me that your dad is watching over you in a nicer place…

Thanks Peter; been awhile since you’ve visited. I’m lucky to have two tapes of Mitch’s greatest hits, which I actually pull out on occasion and listen to. I don’t cringe as much as I thought I might, after all these years.

Hi Mitch,

Nice to know you have such great talent. Hey I like to sing too….hmmm perhaps one day we could do a duet….online duet that is if there is such a thing. Anyway, I enjoyed your sharing of your personal moments.

Thanks Kristi. This year, on my dad’s birthday, it’s going to be odd since it’s both his and my uncle’s birthdays. I wish my mind wasn’t so attuned to dates and numbers like it is.

It’s amazing how we never think of people in later generations using technology. I was shocked when my mother told me that my grandfather actually got on well with the early computers, even picking up Basic programming.

Sorry to hear about your loss… I empathize. My memories of my grandparents come in dreams, usually around their birthdays. I know that my grandmothers will hit particularly hard this year, since it will be the one year anniversary of her passing. I guess we do move on indeed.

No, those days are totally gone, Sire. I haven’t performed in 10 years come September. Got a standing ovation for singing a song I composed, my first ever in church, and decided it couldn’t get any better than that.

And, you know, I don’t think I’ve ever seen an Adam Sandler movie; I’m going to have to think about that one some.

Thanks Rummuser. And applause to your son for getting you online.

Yeah, he performed at the reception, but you should see the movie, it’s, how do they say it, a hoot.

Anyway, now that we have the Internet and everything, you should seriously consider putting your lyrics online, perhaps even perform some on YouTube. Honestly mate, you could really reach the stars.

That is a very poignant story Mitch and I salute you for having written it. In my case, exactly the reverse took place! My son insisted that I learn how to operate the computer and look at me now!

I’m sorry to hear about that, Jake. You’re someone who probably understands what Christopher Reeves son went through in losing both of his parents when he was still relatively young. I just can’t imagine having to go through this at a young age; I didn’t like going through it in my early 40′s. I’m betting you’ve gone and made both of their memories something they would have been proud of.

That’s a great story Mitch.. I lost my dad when I was 13 and had lost my mom when I was 10. It took quite a few years to let go. It’s weird to think that in 6 years I’ll be as old as my dad was when he died.

anyways.. thanks for the story, I always wonder what it would have been like to have parents and how it would have changed things…
