Strange coz I hadn't listened to this for quite a while so it's impact is stronger than ever. She also made it possible for me to go and see Mike play in 1979 & 80 when I was a teenager so it's always deeply connected with her sad sad I am -------------- ....second to the right and straight on till morning....

I like to think that when we lose someone close that they still live on through us, and keep us strong. Mike's music sure has a way of giving comfort and reaching those depths - like no other. -------------- Barn's burnt down - now I can see the moon. Back to top

My mother was also a fan of Mike's music and we played some at her funeral. She always wanted Mike's stuff played on Classic FM and it eventually was after she died, so maybe Music of the Spheres will help. You have my sympathy but I hope you can move on. This is not the end for you. Back to top

I was going to reply with just a sad smiley, but it automatically turned into an angry smiley, which I found inapropriate. -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top

My father passed One hour shy of the Millennium so New Years was not really a happy time for the next few years. The pain will subside eventually as life goes on. Celebrate her life , reminisce with family and friends and be glad you were there for her at the end of her journey. Take Care. Back to top

Incantations Group: Members Posts: 157 Joined: May 2010 Posted: Aug. 15 2010, 05:18 I lost My Grandfather a good year ago, but that is nothing compared to the loss of someone as close as a mother or direct family member. I always (like to) think that I would be (relatively) emotionally intact... But I know I won't. Anyways, sorry for your loss, I hope that you can muster the ability to think past this sad day, and find comfort in faith. I never had such a connection with Tubular Bells (2003 or original) But i do find I have one with Incantations, simply because it reminds me of past events and such.

Delfín Group: Members Posts: 667 Joined: Nov. 2000 Posted: Aug. 18 2010, 13:41 Hi my friend bee, condolences from Spain. I'm so sorry about what happened to your mum. I'm sure she had to be a lovely one. There's one God and He really is at control of everything, even her soul. I'm sure listening to Mike's music, specially that album which is for me the best music album in modern music, can give you some comfort and peace. TB 1 and later 2003 also have been very special for my life in certain times. We all love you here in this small forum/family and hope you will find inspiration, consolation and courage amongst us all. Keep around in the forum. A joyful and loving rememering for the life of your mum. -------------- The most precious thing I possess, is knowing the answer's yes Back to top
