The real reason for my post however is MB's song, "Home." I am sure you all know it well. This was my one of my mom's favorite songs. The song came out when I was living in D.C. and going through a particularly rough time out there. My mom said that when she heard that song she would begin to cry as she knew I just wanted to be 'home.' Fast forward a couple of years when I finally did move home. Everytime that song came on and her and I were together, she would still get a little choked up as she reminisced about those difficult times, but she would always tell me that she was glad to have me home and no longer had to worry about her daughter. So when I went to my 1st Michael Buble concert a few years ago, that song came on and I called my mom and let her listen to it in its entirety. It was "our" song. Ever since my mom passed I had secretly been hoping that this song would not pop up in a store or a place where crying was completely inappropriate. Ironically, it has popped up only once since she passed away, and it was in a restaurant on Matt and I's anniversary. Through the tears I sort of felt that in a way, it was sign that my mom and dad were wishing us a Happy Anniversary. I had not heard that song since...until last night. I geared up for it prior to the concert and couldn't help but feel sad that when it came on, I wouldn't be able to call my mom. Well, you can imagine our surprise when Michael Buble left the stage and walked through the crowd to another smaller stage just 20 feet in front of Matt and I. And the only song he played on that stage? "Home." It's amazing how many emotions one song can bring. But I have to believe that since I couldn't call my mom during that song, that she was "calling" me. If you have ever lost someone so close to you, you always find yourself looking for signs that they are with you. And that was my sign that my mom was with us. :)
