I recently received an email from someone whom I never met but someone who was close to an old friend of mine. That simple email flooded me with memories. The next day I was flipping through channels and discovered Same Time Next Year was playing. Once again, the memories of that old friend surfaced again.
It is funny how sights, sounds, and even smells can evoke memories. It is like Marcel Proust's description of the Madeleine cookies and how a simple cookie reminded him of times long ago.
As I watched Alan Alda and Ellen Burstyn in the film, I also listened carefully to the beautiful theme song sung by my all-time favorite male vocalist, Johnny Mathis. Then, I was reminded of my darling husband who took me to hear Mr. Mathis in Louisville for Mother's Day in 2008. The first song that Mr. Mathis sang that night was Two For The Road which is one of my favorite songs by Henry Mancini from a film that my dear Michael introduced me to.
Hopefully, this song will remind us of all the people that we once loved and those we love today.
