Which friend or acquaintance most influenced your taste in music?

I can't even answer this. All my friends are music nerds. So, here are some pictures:
I went to buy some pants at the mall today because, though I have been trying to stay at my fighting weight, it is near impossible..so bigger pants are needed. I am not ashamed. Such is life. But then as I was walking around, I walked past an older Filipino couple...and the husband was talking to his wife in Tagalog and I just started tearing. Valentine's Day is my pop's birthday - he would have been 65 years old.
I had a hard time this year. I just felt lost and I lacked energy. Some years, months, weeks, days are better than others. Some times people or things just trigger memories.
I wonder how my mom is. My mom was a workaholic and used to work late into the night. My dad would just stay up waiting for her, dinner would be on the table and he would usually be up watching television until she got home. They would spend the next couple of hours, talking into the early morning hours.
I forgot what he sounds like...
I used to have his old cell phone. He left the voice mail message on it. I did not even know until one of my friends called and left a message and said, "Anna, you're dad is the voice message." For awhile, I used to call it just so I could hear him.
(I am at work and I started tearing. my poor supervisor walked up to have me sign the sign in sheet...sorry dude!)
