The angel with the wrong song

One of my best friends called me today to tell me she had a dream about my Mom.  Now, Mom just turned 91 on Sunday,  so remember that as I recount this dream.

My friend tells me that Mama passed away, made it to heaven and was given a white robe.  She was then escorted to her new home. Next, she was brought to the choir room to join in singing.  (I’m thinking, wow, Mom has got to be pleased as punch thus far).  She was in the choir, along with many others, all dressed in their white robes.  The conductor invited her to come to the front and allowed her to lead a song.  Much to his dismay, Mom used her limelight opportunity to belt out a Johnny Cash song!  Unbeknownst to my friend and what makes this even more comical to me, is Johnny Cash was my Dad’s favorite musician.

Getting back to the performance, the director shows his disapproval but gives Mom another chance, because I mean, its heaven right…no better place for second chances.   Mom begins to sing again and chooses to belt out Johnny Cash yet again.  At this point, the conductor motions for two angels in white to escort Mama off the stage.

Moral of the story is Norma Jean aka Mama better come up with another song before she can go to heaven.

With a smile and a happy heart,
