Ma Mere was one of only a couple of songs Marti and I wrote together. I was attempting to use Marti\u2019s French, and the translation of the title is \u201cMy Mother.\u201d Both of us came from dysfunctional families. And the song captures the need we both have for a Mother who was engaged in our life: \u201cWhere are you? I need you! To help me find the way. To teach me what to say. Where are you?\u201d All mothers love their children, and so we recognized they fed us, clothed us, sang to us, and held us. However, these memories were from a long time ago, a distant memory, which both of us missed as we grew up, as our mothers got involved in their careers, and as we were no longer a priority in their lives. The good news is I found \u201canother mother, of my brother,\u201d as described in Song 157 – Maxine Memories<\/a>. Andrea and Randy Shirts Mom became my Mom, and I have enjoyed the time we have been able to spend with her and to get to know her better since we moved back to Cedar City. This is why I put her photo to the left.<\/p>\n
