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.
