My Daughter.....The Songwriter! Just Had To Share

By
Real Estate Agent with Karen Parsons-Fiddler, Broker 949-510-2395 BRE# 01494165

My sweet daughter is a songwriter....a budding one. She wrote this song about her grandmom, not my mom...her dad's. We called her Gem (slurring of the letters G and M for Grand Mom). She was the grandma who always had cookies and was never short tempered. She built playgrounds and sandboxes in the backyard and every summer took all her grandchildren (5) off camping for "Cousin Camp."

She passed on September 14, 2001. My daughter was 12....and she was devastated. Here so many years later....she has written a tribute. I hope you enjoy it.

Got it now.  That was really nice.  Wasn't sure if she was going to be able to start at first.

Good morning Karen,

Cindy: Thanks....and her grandmother was a very musical person. She was a piano teacher her whole life and ran a piano school for children, so it's especially fitting that it would be a song.

Joe: Thanks, I try and always remember to make the extra phone call or stop by when I'm in the area with my own parents. They are very "young" 70s....fit and active, but still.....

Barbara: No doubt...and she just picked that up herself. It's even her grandmother's guitar

Dorie: I am sooooo very proud.

Wish I had that kind of talent!  Musical I am not, but certainly can appreciate it in others that are.  Great job!

Chris Ann: I love music, but not musical either. I think I can hold a tune in church and the shower, lol
