Why is this grown married man blasting ENYA whilst studying? That was my late mom's jam! What hobbies do you do to remember them by?

I'll tell you why. Enya was one of my mom's Sunday afternoon jams !

I remember a few years ago whilst I was doing my undergraduate, my headphones fell out whilst I was in the gym... the guy who was next to me insisted that he heard Enya coming from my phone. I fiercely denied it.

Since my Mom passed away some months now, let me tell you a secret. Come closer: I was listening to Enya in the gym...mwa ha ha. Yep, me in my younger buffer days. I am listening to it all now.

My Mom listened to an assortment of Rock classics : Neil Diamond, Enya, and some 90's grunge and alternative rock too. The Red Hot Chili Peppers were another staple of hers.

I sure wish we could have taken her to see them in concert, but the Parkinson's made travelling very difficult for her.

So it's Sunday evening, and I am keeping my Mom's tradition of Sunday evening music.
