eleven

In all honesty, the songs I reveal here are actually the top 14 songs on my itunes. I left a very specific number open to my most WATCHED VIDEO. For some, this video has brought solace. Some watch it often, many have yet to be able to watch it more than once. I, watch it every single morning. See, I used to start my mornings by being awoken by a door knock and followed by screaming children. I know wake up to nothing, and so I watch the video I made for my mom.

If there is any song that is an absolute anthem for my mother it is indeed “The Perfect Fan.” And so I find it more than appropriate that I place it at number eleven. The number Both of my brothers and I wore on every jersey for our entire athletic career…while our fan watched on.




At every soccer, baseball, softball, basketball and football game. The biggest supporter of slideshows, videos and all creations. Right hand at survivor and listening year to the soccer coach. She was the epitome of a fan.

If it only applied to sports it would still be appropriate, but this song is amazing in every piece of its existence.
Beyond the title of this song, the lyrics bypass the meaning of fan.

You showed me
When I was young just how to grow
You showed me
Everything that I should know
You showed me
Just how to walk without your hands
'Cause mom you always were
The perfect fan

Because it was her that taught a little girl how to love everyone around her. Because it was her who taught over 200 children life lessons staring at birth. Because it was her who helped us scoot, crawl and eventually walk.She taught so many so many things that I am truly honored to be her daughter. And i am truly honored to see just how she affected everyone around her and how her lessons live on.

As I said at her services
“ it comforts me so profusely that the lessons she shared with all of us do not stop here. The kids touched by her love, are all so amazingly willing to pass it on. They pay it forward if you will. Daycare kids of years past have relationships with new younger children and each and each and every one of them genuinely love each other and have formed life long relationships.”

Other than that, I can not say more than what I tried to reveal in the video.
