Today in Kroger, I heard the original "26 Cents" playing on the radio. That's one of the songs I sang and recorded for my mom on the 2nd anniversary of her death in 2007. While it's one of my favorites and was a hit single for the original singers, it was still a bit unusual for it to happen to be playing while I was shopping. It put a big smile on my face as I went about my shopping and comforted me very much.
Taken from my CD insert (hahahaha):
"26 Cents" is a song by The Wilkinsons. The song is about a girl whose mom passes away, and it obviously carries a theme of coins. My mom had a thing for pennies. She could spot one on the ground a mile away and collected them. After she died, we began finding them in very odd places, usually in times of despair, so pennies are a great source of comfort to me. She also used to make me keep a quarter with me at all times in case I needed to make a phone call. Since the song talks about moms, pennies, quarters, and how a mother's love is always with you no matter where you go...well, this is the quintessential song to define my relationship with my mom.
