Kim Rodrigues Poet Shadorma

Its June In January

My dad is a romantic. Mom passed away in April and ever since
he has extended the spectacular video, he made, of the love of his life.
The original was labeled “My June.” Now it is called, My Darling June.
No finer presentation could be made that captures a lifetime with music from his day. It begins with Till by Tom Jones. The song was so tied to my mom, that silly me, I thought the song was “My June.” Their wedding song’s June in January (yes, they were married that month) and many sad songs, no Hollywood star could have a greater love. 

IT’s JUNE IN JANUARY

        “i love you”

‘to the moon and back’

   “more,” she said.

                heaven sent

she’s dazzling in her lovesong

    Dad’s one hour tribute
