Frank and I are very fortunate to have many mother figures in our lives. Five years ago on Mother’s day weekend, I lost one of them. She was a music teacher, a very close friend, and to many of us students, she was like a mom. Her name was Lynette K. Mulder and she was so beautiful. She died due to complications from LUPUS at the young age of 36, she would have been 41 today. We will always remember her as young, beautiful, and a teacher who did whatever she could, and even broke the rules because it was the right thing to do in the best interest of the students. We know we have an angel who watches over us and still tells us to go the distance, cope and deal, and live every day as your last. I was so happy that she met my husband Frank before she died, we miss you Lynette. The following is from when she directed me and my friends in the Eisenhower Express showchoir. If you look close enough behind the ‘Eisenhower Express’ backdrop you can see her directing the band.
This is my sister’s favorite band. And I think I just fell in love with them too. Ozomatli, a Latin American band began writing “Gay Vatos in Love” back in the latter of 2008, during the beginnings of prop 8. This song is about standing by your man and coming out of the closet. LA Times did a great piece on them recently.
Here is just a short clip from when Marcos was in the Eisenhower Express showchoir. He gets a close up 0:24 seconds in. Hope you enjoy, and enjoy Glee tonight!
