just heard a song that reminds me of my mother

"End of the World" by Skeeter Davis

It evokes memories of when my mother was young and not yet messed up. I have only two specific memories.

She coasted down the hill on Ellis Ave. She told us it was so much fun to do that, and it was.

She drove with a kitten on her shoulder.

I don't miss her very often. She turned horrible to us, and died when I was eleven. But at this moment I'm enjoying those two soft, good memories.
