was thinking about my mom yesterday when i was listening to Jimi Hendrix's "Angel". She died in '99, my dad in 2001. I was in the middle of restoring a photo of her and my father on their honeymoon in chinatown in San Francisco. That picture is so cool. It was really hard to contain myself when that song came on though.

angel came down from heaven yesterday
she stayed with me just long enough to rescue me and she told me a story yesterday
about the sweet love between the moon and the deep blue sea,
then she spread her wings high over me, and she said 'come, come back tomorrow'
and i said 'fly on my sweet angel, fly on through the sky, fly on my sweet angel, tomorrow, i'm gonna be by your side'
sure enough
this woman came unto me
silver wings, silhouette against a childs sunrise
and my angel said unto me
today is the day for you to rise
take my hand,you're gonna be my man, gonna rise, then she took me over yonder
and i said, "fly on my sweet angel, fly on through the sky, fly on my sweet angel, forever i'm gonna be by your side"

note: I want this song played at my funeral.
