Tammi's World

Somewhere Out There

I settled down for dinner last night right around 5:30. As I turned on the TV I saw where Fievel Goes West was on.

I cannot tell you how just reading the NAME of the movie brought back memories.

Long ago, in another life, my sweet granddaughter Alissa LOVED that movie. And I don't think LOVED even comes close to covering it.

We spent hours and hours watching it. It seems to me that movie just stayed on loop at our house.

We both knew most of the dialog, and even more so the music.

There's a song that was featured in both of the Fievel movies that Alissa just adored. She made me sing that song to her before every nap, every evening tuck in. When she was scared or tired. She would curl up in my arms, rest her sweet little head against my shoulder and simply say, "Fievel Gammaw". And I would sing.

You know even all these years later, it still brings a tear to my eye. Silly as that sounds. I wonder if she remembers.......
