This is my title of my Playlist/CD. I am going to tie my pictures into each song, and each song will be tied into the traditional theme of love and friendship. Love and friendship can be viewed not only as a part of life, but as a necessary component to give existence meaning.

My mom has always been person in my life. Her sacrifice, support and guidance have served as a model for me. I would not be the person I am today if it was not for my mom.

On 9/11, my husband was in Guam. He was a naval officer, and he was on a sub tender- a world away. I will never forget talking to him on the phone, when the sirens went off and he said- I have to go- we are going... not sure when I will talk to you again...

On that day I thought about the love of family, friends, my country, my husband- a man who loves his country and sacrificed so much for his country- like so many others. But mostly I thought about the loved ones lost. A friend of mine lost his wife and mother to his daughter.
