My ex MIL has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. She is my daughter's friend, teacher, mentor, hero.

"When My Pants Are Anklecuffs" by Stagnant Water
"I am a Rabbit" by the Lemonheads
"Scottsdale Girls" by Big C*ck
"I Hate You, I Love You" by the Dead Milkmen

Yes, all of those songs are real.

Actually, I really do love "Into Your Arms" by the Lemonheads. Such a great song, simple, sweet, and to the point

the last line should read:

"And none will answer the question "Why?"

too late to edit, dammit.

As far as the content, it's based on something currently going on here...

I look at my little problems today
Different than I did twelve hours ago
A phone call, tears, I'm sorry, that's awful
The words needed for true comfort hidden away

A sentence imposed on someone I care for
The decision made before she even knew
Now every choice made will be important
With never enough time, always needing more

Affected directly I think of her sickness
Affecting more loved ones, heartache is coming
Nothing can stop it, only contain it
Stealing some of life's color and richness

Hitting so closely, well, what would I do?
Could I face the facts, or melt away
Tim McGraw's song runs through my head
It's supposed to uplift, but turns me blue

My little one, oh my baby, she'll be lost
Her teacher, her playmate, her friend, leaving
Will she see her slowly disappear
And in the end what will tht cost

Let The bells toll and prayers fly
The well wishes, good luck charms, and remedies
All be brought to her feet and laid
And no will answer the question "Why?"

"Martinis on the Roof" by Superchunk

One of their friends from the swing revival band Suirrel Nut Zippers died in a car wreck as they we're writing the song. The lyrics are heartbreaking, and sung in a voice that sounds on the edge of tears. As the last chorus ends with the lines "You left too soon/I loved you so", the songs ends with a guitar solo that seems to take every ounce of pain, sadness, and loss and put it into notes.

True, going through my "to do" list right now

Guilty, but was aquitted after wowing the jury with a spot-on Rodney Dangerfield imitation.
