I always had a strange affinity to this songs lyrics. Recently I started to write Poetry as a way to deal with the stress of knowing that my mother was too ill to recover and her recent death.
Today was especially tough and I often watch Mamma Mia! and Here we go again! to cheer me up. Today it did the opposite effect, especially when "Donna" started singing Slipping through my fingers. I suddenly realised that, that was exactly what happened to my mother.
My mom had a stubborn streak through her similar to "Donna". Though we knew who my father was, they were deforsed for many years.
I often described my mother as the Duracell Bunny on Steroids, as she just went on!
She was diagnosed with Cancer at 63, and her 80th Birthday was on the 2nd of January 2021. She had outlived all her siblings and the week before she passed away she still wanted to do so much.
She finally slipped through my fingers on the 12th of March. Today was truly bad for me so I decided on some therapy, I just cried more, but I still have that affinity to especially Slipping through my fingers.
As I have alwasy loved all ABBA music and those of their contemporaries I must be an oddity. I didn't begin to listen to ABBA due to the movies or the stage shoes, I loved the music before and was drawn to the performances because of it.
Long live ABBA without Slipping through our fingers. Wish I could have been at a stage show of the original band!!!
