And I Love Her / In My Life (The Beatles) - Day 2

And then there’s the Beatles. Last year they made my list with Let It Be. This year, I strategically chose two Beatles’ ballads that remind me of my two angels in the cover photo of my Facebook page. First is, And I Love Her. A ballad from before I was even born, which was the wedding song of Rosemarie’s, when she married Bob in 1974. Every time I hear it, I sway and think of her. I remember all the things, from being a bow-tied kindergartner, who hung on her every word and looked at her with such awe and reverence, to power-mulleted mustachio, dedicating this song to her at karaoke in 1992 (which was recorded and saved on a VHS tape that my mom used to LOVE to play. I wonder where that ended up?). No matter where I am when I hear it, I can close my eyes and see my beautiful sister when she was a girl, early twenties, huge brown eyes and amazing seventies hair. It’s a wonderful memory. Second is In My Life. One of the most often covered of the Beatles’ hits, it reminds me of the other cute little angel. I mean, listen to the lyrics so I don’t have to explain why.
