Had To Go To Atlanta To Find Out My Children Are Coming To Visit To Celebrate My Birthday Yay

Well, I find out more information when I go to Atlanta than I do staying at home. I find out all kinds of stuff. There really is a quaint city that we will have to gather for brunch, it is already in the works for sure. I am going to share the song from Mama Mia Here We Go Again as sort of a tribute to my mother. She recently celebrated her 89th birthday and we went to go see the movie. What I am not too thrilled about is the movie theatre we went to, their policy on selecting a seat.  Did you know that some theatres require you to select your seat at the box office when you purchase the tickets? I like the freedom of going to see a movie and selecting my seat when I enter the theatre.
Well, after seeing the movie I find out how special the song is, "I Have A Dream" to my mother. When my brother was in the boating accident in which his body was never recovered many years ago, this is the song she would request as an intention on the anniversary of his death. No one knows exactly the actual date either it could be one day or another date. It is only a day apart. That makes sense since the survivors were in the water waiting to be rescued. They told us that they heard my brother's voice while in the water up to a point then they no longer heard it. I would imagine it would be hard to pinpoint a time of death right?
So back to the intention. I can always remember while growing up in our house that on Sunday we would listen to the local Croatian radio program that played Croatian music. People would send in intentions to request a song and the program host played these songs for special intentions. Like birthday, anniversary dedications etc. The song my mother would request, "I Have A Dream" by Abba. Not quite a Croatian song but it would always be honored when my mother sent in the request. I could play the Mama Mia version but lets see if I can find the Abba version to share with you. Isn't that funny, I wrote about this song weeks ago before we even had this conversation recently. God is good, God is faithful and yes, God is love.
You know what? The musical instruments kind of sound like Croatian instruments. I am also going to include Cher singing Fernando because she really did steal the show with her rendition of Fernando.
