Grand Thoughts: A song between two people creates magic every time

Don’t feel sorry for me, but my husband and I don’t have a song. I want one.

I think it’s important to have a song that’s special between you and someone you love.

My late father and I have a song, “When You and I Were Young, Maggie.” My mother and I have a song, “Que Sera Sera,” and I have special songs with each of my children and grandchildren.

My children’s special songs are “You Make Me So Happy” for Kacee; “You Are the Sunshine of My Life” for Karah; “Beautiful Boy” for Kevin and Kit; “Que Sera Sera” for Tilleigh, and “I Love You a Bushel and a Peck” for Evie. “Que Sera Sera” is now a special song for two generations of my family.

No matter where you are, how old you are or what frame of mind you’re in at the time, when you hear your song, you will feel good.
