Aunt Bonnie was a character. Pithy, wise, A tiny woman who could throw lightening bolts or cook up a mess of whatever, and it was the best you ever ate.<br /><br />Aunt Bonnie's favorite song was Mocking Bird Hill. She had an agreement with my ex husband. Whichever of them died first, the other would go to the cemetery later, and sing Mocking Bird Hill for the deceased. <br /><br />They swore, spit, and shook hands over that promise.<br /><br />My Aunt Bonnie died, my ex never kept his side of the promise. My ex died, and later, I stood crying in my back yard and sang Mocking Bird Hill for my Aunt Bonnie. <br /><br />I did love that tiny little warrior woman. <br /><br />Wherever you are, Aunt Bonnie, I still miss you, and still sing Mocking Bird Hill for you.<br /><br />Annie MouseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-90850212309042053042011-10-15T14:07:16.364-05:002011-10-15T14:07:16.364-05:00I had never heard if him before.

What I would like to know is why don't we have anyone that sings like that today. there must be someone out there. Definitely none of them top heavy things that wear skirts that the belt barely covers.
