Describe one of your favorite moments.
One of my favorite moments that happened after becoming a wheelchair user was going to see Cher with my mother, who is just a few years Cher’s senior and sharing our mutual joy at getting to see the icon perform live.
We used to watch the Sonny and Cher show together.
Then, later, the Cher show. We both loved the costumes created by Bob Mackie
and Cher’s gorgeous deep voice even back then. Cher was the first woman that I wanted to be . I remember tying scarves around my head and pretending that I had long hair , like Cher and singing loudly if poorly to Cher’s songs as a 6 year old kid. So it was very special seeing her live with the woman who molded my young life back then.
I remember my mom commented that she certainly could sit in the audience if Cher could still perform at her age. To this day, we still watch every interview and enjoy every new performance that Cher gives .
As many great concerts as I’ve been lucky enough to attend, like the Rolling Stones and David Bowie, that performance by Cher is the one that I will always remember most fondly.
One of my favourite moments was a Mother’s Day when my eldest daughter was a vet student on a farm placement during the lambing season. The farmer let us visit her and we took a photo of her holding a newborn lamb and she was a picture of pure happiness!
Lovely moment indeed
Awe so sweet
I don’t know this feeling with Cher, but I know it with Simon and Garfunkel. Remember finding out they didn’t perform together anymore as a kid and was devastated. But they did a reunion tour in the early 2000’s and I was like, “Mom, Dad, we’re going. Pack your bags.” 😂
I bet you had the best time with them at that concert! I’ve seen Paul Simon twice, but never with Garfunkle, and I’m much older than you are. Lucky girl
Wow, she’s in her 70s? She looks 30 years younger…
She just had her 78th birthday last month.
