senoritafishI am probably the only person in the world who cries at an Oingo Boingo song.
Radio Pradise jusst started playing Oingo Boingo's "Stay." This song makes me misty every time I hear it. I remember it played on the radio on my way home from the hospital. My mom had just told me the doctor said she had terminal lung cancer. He just waltzed in and announced that to her all by herself after her family had left visiting for the day. Can you imagine? What a thoughtless guy! She was left to feel alone and sad in a hospital room by herself all night - she wouldn't have thought about bothering us to come back. I wanted to strangle that doctor when I found out later. The next day when I came to visit, we watched "Necessary Roughness" on TV (we both liked Scott Bakula) and she said she wanted to go to Laughlin. Later I told her John had asked me to marry him and I thought he was the one. "You'd better do it, then," she said. She came home later that week and we took care of her a home until she left us about two weeks later.
