11/13/23: Today was the 19th annual Mom Show dedicated to the loss of John's mom. Besides exclusive songs from last night's Death and Music, today's show is full of incredibly powerful messages from listeners like this one from Jennifer:
The last song I played for my mom before she passed was "She's a rainbow" by the Rolling Stones. Rainbows have become a connection point to my mom, whether it's a refraction of light from a window or a marvel in the sky, they remind me that she's here, with me, through it all. If it fits into the show today to play "She's like a rainbow," would love to hear it and send a rainbow out into this amazing community. Thank you for having this day, for acknowledging that grief is ever present but also for giving hope for what is possible because we can all share in it and move forward.
