]]> Pamela wrote a birthday song arrangement for our mother’s 80th (and last) birthday in 2013, and performed it with me (Heather) and our sister-in-law Dorcas.

My son picked up a camera and made an impromptu video, so at least we have a rough recording.

Mom loved it. It made her cry. It made her dance. It made Dorcas and Mike’s dogs join in with whimpers and howls. Good fun.

Our mother was an avid gardener who enjoyed growing ornamental grasses (photo below). That would be why Pam wrote “Grasses bow down their heads to honour the day.” There’s no reason not to change the words to something that suits the person being honoured!
