And there was that famous kids' record y'alls played and played...the track I remember the most, and which plays in my mind now, was "Davey Crocket": <BR/><BR/>"Born on a mountaintop in Tennessee, <BR/>Greenest (cleanest?) state in the land of the free. <BR/>Raised in the woods so he knew every tree. <BR/>Killed him a ba'ar when he was only three! <BR/>Davey, Davey Crocket, <BR/>King of the Wild Frontier"....lovely songXtreme Englishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07536661018563937509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21703275.post-174104778534731662007-03-04T16:31:00.000+00:002007-03-04T16:31:00.000+00:00How exciting for all of you!

Then, her doctor discovered that she had a hole in her eardrum. He did surgery, and she could finally hear, in one ear, at least. That was a great day. Congratulations to your mother on her surgery.Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07309266986583326824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21703275.post-67726528469050321112007-03-03T20:38:00.000+00:002007-03-03T20:38:00.000+00:00Good for your mum, I wish her the very best.

What an incredible joy for her to be able to hear again. I know you're feeling badly about not being able to be there for that wonderful moment, but I think the first time you talk to your mom on the phone....will be so special and emotional....it will be almost like being there with her.
