It was 1951. She was 17 years old and she had done what few of her friends and relatives had done. She had graduated High School.<\/p>\n
She had went to New Orleans on a Senior class trip with 14 Young Men and Ladies, her entire Senior class.<\/p>\n
Now she had driven a 1930 A to Memphis. A young woman in a big city.<\/p>\n
Her feet found their way to Beale street. A different place in 1951 then now, but even then, as she walked down the street she could hear music in the air.<\/p>\n
A chance acquaintance told her to go to Ellis Auditorium and one night she did.<\/p>\n
That night she saw a young man from Mississippi.<\/p>\n
Years later She was in Memphis again. She had 2 grown sons and and a grown daughter and they had families.<\/p>\n
We went to visit the young man from Mississippi.<\/p>\n
We walked up to his grave and she wept. She wept long and hard. <\/p>\n
And then placed a single rose on his grave.<\/p>\n
I LOVE you Mom.<\/p>\n
Please post vids of Music your Mother enjoyed.<\/p>\n
Thank you.<\/p>\n
Happy Mother’s Day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
