+Vangie Griffin My condolesences, it's not easy dealing with the loss of any family member. We got to carry on throught the night in our lives to get to better days. Hang in there!
Waking up on the weekends as a kid and hearing my momma play this while she was cleaning now I’m 24 with Better Days tatted on my arm and finally came home after 6 years and we sang this together at her 60th b day. Definitely a moment I’ll hold on to forever.
Good morning, I have been listening to this song for over twenty years. After reading your comment about your mother made me think of mines. And The words to this song finally made sense. 😭😭😭😭. See I lost my mom 8 years ago with over forty other relatives, including siblings and nephews and nieces. Your words touched my soul. Thank you...
@@sandramerritt1013 I read your comment, had to read it a few times to make sure I was understanding correctly. My heart goes out to you pertaining to your family. And I myself, in my younger years heard this sound repeatedly in my house. But in my adulthood, maybe 20 years ago, I too , actually listened to the words and received enlightenment. Been years since I last heard this song, yet it randomly popped into my head , which lead me here to listen. This song grabs your mind, your heart and your soul. Brings out emotions. Anyway, really just wanted to offer my sincere condolences to you for your losses.
Oh no! She is not unsung. She is still making jazz albums. This song crossed over to the r and b charts back in the late 80's but I assure you she is still making incredible music. Check out her albums.
Just cuz she's still active doesn't mean everyone knows of her. She's not as famous as she should be. Unsung doesn't mean retired artist, it means under-rated / under appreciated. Why would she no longer perform this song. Elaborate on why and how you got this information. Other-wise, it's non-sensical!!!! 👎😡🐂💩🐑🗑
When you REALLY LOVE, the tears will flow but, they are of pride, joy and of a GREAT LOVE that the memories RESTORE of your loved one! For me ...that was today for my mom!
Dianne SANG this song! It came out shortly after my maternal grandmother made her heavenly transition. My paternal grandmother passed less than two years earlier. It was like this song was written especially for both of them. Continue to rest in paradise Pearl Gilmore Spears and Annie Hardy Wright.
Reminds me of my grandma (my father's mom). She never knew how her loved affected me. She taught. Ppl who hurt, hurt ppl. Don't become a hurt person. Become a loving person. Despite the hurts.
I've always loved this song, but every time I hear it, it brings back memories and tears. I think about my grandmother and mother who are no longer with me. Although there is still hurt, the good times are what I focus on. Still some very beautiful memories 😊
I wanna shout to the whole world that I have the Greatest Grandma in the whole wide world.I love You So Much Lola Daring!!!!!!! I dedicate this song to her.
This song is like a gigantic hug. I remember all the stories my grandmother would tell about her childhood. She endured so much as a black woman. She was our rock, so strong when she needed to be yet the perfect lady,patient, and kind. Yet if you disrespected her, she could read you and never use a curse word. Excellent wife, mother, and grandmother. When I'm feeling low, I draw from her and mom's strength, and I know I will make it. It's in the DNA if they made it, so will the woman in our family. Thanks for loving us so much. Rest in Peace!
I was in my early 20’s when I first heard this song and I would cry because it reminded me of my grandmother Thirty years later I strive to leave my grandchildren with these type of life lessons
I can't wait to see my Grandma on thee other side she passed away at 97 years old in 2021 and this song reminds me so much of what she use to tell me be patient R.I.P.Grandma...
i miss my mom every day. and to this very day ... this song still hurts my heart. such a true song and sooo sad. and the funny part is , before this song even came out. my mom did tell us back in the late 70s she said dont worry about tomorrow.... u godda make it thru the night first to get there we didnt know what she met buy that at the time...NOW WE DO!
I remember listening to Rickey Smiley Morning Show he played this song as the morning inspiration. I hadn’t heard it since I was a child. Didn’t really understand the words back then. But now I do. He was crying and so was I because I just lost my great grandmother. She taught me so much and I miss her dearly. Grandmothers are truly a blessing from God.
Ms.Reeves, was right on!! To sing about GRANDMA, My Grandma, was so nice, kind, kept a neat clean house, played baseball, jumped rope, with us, took us to church, she didn't take "No Mess" from anybody, and you couldn't beat her "LOUISIANA COOKING" She lived to be 100yrs old. She was born; May 25, 1912, she died October10, 2012... I TRULLY LOVE GRANDMA!!!!!💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
I was about 11 when this song came out, and I loved this song, This song brought me through some hard times as an child and as an young adult. I'm now 46. 😣😪
I cry every time thinking of my grandma. OMG. I made the mistake and played this while driving on the parkway and almost crashed I was crying so bad. :( Grandma's are such special people. If you are blessed to still have yours, cherish her.
Heard a snippet of this on Rickey Smiley show this morning, I’ve already played it about 5 times. 😢❤️ Sent it to my family. So many memories of our mother and grandmother 🙏🏽🕊
I heard it to this morning, I cried all the way to work . I went on UA-cam and played it all day today. You right it bring back so many memories. Lost my Mom coming up on two year in July. 😭She is resting with her Mom in Heaven.
Me too! I cried like a baby. Nothing like a grandma's love..... I lost my grandmother in 2019. Although I miss her so, thankful that I had her in my life well into my 40's. ❤️

I dedicate this song to Janie Ellen Spencer, (1901 - 1989). Grandma, I have missed you every day since God called you home. I hope you know that I am still using the lessons you taught me to get through life. You were truly an angel and I pray you are at peace. I love you and will see you again on the other side of the moon. R.I.H. I love you.
how sweet this just popped up what happy fun memories of my mother always welcoming loving comforting no matter what i had a safe place to go with mom wheres grandma and mama these days i miss moms strength that kept us pushing on wonderful song!*
This song makes me wish I had a grandmother I'm my life . One. died before I was born and the other when I was weeks before my 2nd birthday. Oh how I wished!!!!
This song sometimes makes me cry because it makes me miss my grandmother sooooo much! I’m glad I was around when this song came out. They used to play it during the Quiet Storm. Great memories!!
Ohh Grandma Sadie! I miss you. Ask God to Help these families with their losses from this virus and other ailments and job losses.i can’t listen without crying.
This was the best song for mother's day as well every time that song came on the radio KJLH FM I would sing that song to my niece when she was a little baby 🐤and she would stop crying looked up at me singing the song and go right to sleep and I would 😢
You start singing about that never-ending love connection with Grandmom, and you get me every time. I hurried out and bought this the first time I saw the video. I had one of them big bosmy grandmoms like Lena in "Raisin," and I was her first born grandson, so you know the love that got showered on me. Had her till I was 27 and don't go a day without remembering her. And thanks to Miss Reeves, this song brings it all back.
This song is dedicated to my two powerhouse grandmothers who have been watching over me from heaven for decades. I love you and miss you Daisy Young and Mary Griffin Lester💙🙏🏽🕊
