I did not have anything prepared for Cactus Monday...was blown away by Queen Latifah singing at the Oscar Awards show tonight and became quite overcome with sadness...her song was sung while showing all of the acters and actresses who passed away this past year, and I was surprised to be overcome with sadness over losing my own Dad even though it has been more than 10 years ago. I just think so much of Queen Latifah, and she sang the song just beautifully...it brought me to tears, and I actually had to leave the room for a while, I became so blubbery!!! It surely was unexpected, and it took me by surprise.
I found this beautiful rendition of the song she sang, "I'll Be Seeing You", done a capella, and it is just beautiful. ENJOY!

I posted a Cactus Garden on my
wordpress blog : Outdoorsin.wordpress.com for the
Cactus Monday...
Oh you are the researcher of odd Cacti motifs...
These ice sculptures are wondrous!
Who would ever think ice and cacti can pair up, but these renditions work beautifully.
HCM Julie and a great week!
Ice sculptures fascinate me!!
Queen Latifah did sing beautifully last night but my husband and I were very disappointed at not being able to see who was on the "memoriam" screen without straining :( That's what that segment is all about, seeing who passed on. We missed a few of them because the camera stayed on her.
Oh well, it was a nice song!
HCM!!

They are beautiful aren't they? the awards I mean...and the lovely ladies too.
I'll have to listen to the song at work...

Nice Juile and never be surprise of being over come with tears for your Dad. I've come to realize that we will have these moments from time to time. It will be 10 years this September that I lost my Mom. Now instead of holding back the tears, I just let them flow. But the great thing is we will be seeing them some day. : ) Hugs to you.
