Everything's Coming Up Roses

About me

Location	Chicago, IL
Introduction	For anyone who knew the unstoppable Rae Classen you knew a woman who was prone to randomly breaking out into song whether the occasion warranted it or not. For me she sang Gypsy's "Everything's Coming Up Roses"... whenever I felt I couldn't do something she would bust out this tune, no matter where we were or who was around. At first this performance would send me into a fit of giggles making me forget that I was upset about anything. As time progressed this song became our inside signal, her special way of telling me to calm down and take one step at a time. So now a year after my mom's final curtain call, I am starting to be able to hear her voice in my ear once again, softly reminding me that everything is coming up roses after all! I hope you can join me on the journey of finding them in a world that is ever changing and evolving, even when I am feeling like I can't keep up with the progress.
