about

Hey there. I lost my mom to breast cancer in January 2021. I’ve still got some big feelings around it. I talk about them with my friends and family, but unlike other very brave and open friends of mine, I have little to say on social media. Here’s a song instead.

lyrics

I remember summer when
I walked barefoot every day
And I ran around the yard
Until a bee got in my way
And mama found me crying loud
And she pulled that stinger out
She said the pain would go away
But I swore that I was maimed
And she explained

I don't know what to do now
The rest is up to you now
The rest is up to you now
It's a few steps more to go
Then you're home

I remember winter when
Snow had let us out from school
And the bus would drop me off
At the bottom of our hill
And mama found me crying loud
Slipping half the way back down
So she went and got some rope
And she told me I was close
Then she spoke

I don't know what to do now
The rest is up to you now
The rest is up to you now
It's a few steps more to go
Then you're home

Now the winter's come again
But the sun beats through our blinds
And the desert wind blows in
Leaving nothing left to hide
I hear mama crying loud
But it's mostly whispers now
Sometimes all the time you get
Is not what you expect
so I said

I don't know what to do now
The rest is up to you now
The rest is up to you now
It's a few steps more to go
Then you're home
