A heartfelt tribute to a beloved mother - celebrating her grace, spirit and unconditional love. Free and at peace to drive the coast, sing with Elvis and dance without a care. Thank you, dear Mother of Mine.

Writing this song was my way of preparing to say goodbye to my mom. It is an attempt to ease the heartbreak with gratitude, love and the hope that she would be free and at peace. My mother is still very much alive and she loves this song!
