Thats a very nice pic :) The days spent with ones family, singing, dancing, eating together are so full of warmth, that even their memories fill one with beautfiul emotions!

Kia ora Maithri,
I was fortunate enough to see Elvis as a 16 year old when I got to work at one of his shows. I was not an Elvis fan at all. and thought it was a bit of a joke when he came on stage, a big fat guy in a leather jump suit. Then he began to sing.....
His voice was a gift to the world.

Nothing quite like music, is there? My husband and I both played instruments. I, the coronet and he, the trumpet. He's also a beautiful singer, but to get him to be serious and sing anything is next to impossible. I sing absolutely horribly but pretend that isn't the case when I'm alone in my car with the radio on. At those times, I'm absolutley AMAZING!! Music has so much power to affect our emotions, doesn't it?! Oh...and I know almost every Elvis song by heart. I'm SO glad that it was, and still remains, a part of your life.

Thank you for these beautiful, touching words dear...

Warmest love, Maithri

Growing up we were poor...but we had music and books. So I have a deep love for music - singing or playing instruments. I sing, but really don't play any instruments.

You have a beautiful family, Maithri! It is a blessing to have such wonderful memories.

One of my happiest memories is my Daddy singing, "You are my sunshine," to my girls when they were babies. He had such a deep rich voice. They loved to lie on his chest and listen to him sing.

I miss him and my Momma. I am glad I have my memories to keep me warm and to share with my grandchildren.

Love you!

Oh you have stirred a memory inside of me...of when I was really young. My grandpa was sitting in a rocking chair with me, and while my grandma played Edelweiss on the piano, he sang it to me, in a deep and tender voice. He was trying to get me to sing along but I was too shy. It is one of my only memories of him, as he died when I was quite young.
Thank you xo

A lovely picture, Maithri.

Hey KJ,

Elvis is truly amazing! But once you hear my dad sing...its hard to compare...

The photo was taken in Sri Lanka... my little sister on my Dads lap, and me in my army outfit... I must have been 4 or 5. ;)

Look forward to seeing you in Swaziland! ;)
