A winkin', blinkin' and a Nod memory
When I was a little girl. My grandmother & at times my mom would sing a lullaby called, Winkin Blinkin & Nod. It popped in my head tonight, I think because I'm really missing my mom. I feel like she calmed me down the best when I was sad, or upset, or angry or whatever. Tonight, I'm worried. I want someone to hold me & tell me, "It's going to be OK" So tonight I found the lullaby on YouTube & every version I found was faster than the way I remember it being sung to me. I wonder if they made up their own melody or if it was a version they heard before. But I sing it, the way I remember them singing it to me. I kind of like that I can't find a version of the way they sang it, like it was special just for me. & also... that I'm reaching the age... that I can't remember why I came into a certain room BUT that I can clear as day remember how I was sung to when I was just a wee little girl & the feeling I got from it still.
