At Mom's Lakehouse

Little sweetheart, hooray! I finally got the website to upload photos, again! 

Here's a timely one - it was taken out at my mom's lakehouse the day we arrived after news of her sudden passing. I've just been writing about it in our book and this picture also is the gatefold shot inside our new album, our 13th, Last Lights. 

Mom so wanted you and I to spend some time at the lakehouse with her and we were even planning on doing so but never got to. Still, after we both arrived - me from London (with your help) and you from SF, hearing the shocking news - I drove us out there because I wanted you to see the place. 

We could still feel mom's presence and I remember telling you that it felt like she might come around the corner of the house at any moment, out to where we were sitting on the dock, with a tray of root beer floats. 

I'll bet you two have had one or two while looking after me from Heaven. In fact, I know you have. Mom loved you so much, little sweetheart, and I love you both. Forever.
