LIAM WAITING FOR THE DAY'S PLAY |
I would say he is a stalker but that implies malice. My follower is Liam. He is everywhere I am. As I type this story (his blog) he is sitting next to me, occasionally looking up, sometimes staring, licking latte foam.
If I leave this room he will follow, leaping from his window couch perch.
If I pause and do not come downstairs immediately, Liam will wait at the foot of the staircase- looking up at me.
LIAM AT THE FOOT OF THE STAIRS |
There is a song recorded years ago that echoes in my mind and fits this situation with a little gender adjustment "I Will Follow Him" sung by Peggy March. My version is Liam howling "I Will Follow Her"
Yes, Peggy is alive and well and singing - Her hit "I Will Follow Him" was recorded in 1963 when she was 14. It came out right after she turned 15 and she became the youngest female artist with a number one hit.

and here she is -click for a listen
Conversely, outside of our home, "I Will Follow Him" is my anthem as Liam turns the tables and runs for squirrels, rabbits, birds...There is never a chance that he will follow me when wildlife and nature surround him-add in tossed pizza crusts, candy bar wrappers and other food rejects that have missed the garbage can and I am the follower.
FOLLOW ME |
You follow me
I follow back.
A connection.
A relationship.
Woof, Woof
I've always loved that song.

Izzy,
DeleteI did also. There were some young women with powerful voices back then. While looking for it I ran across Lesley Gore, also still singing. Loved her voice and songs.
Liam follows you because he loves you. That is the best way to be followed. As opposed to Little Peggy March who is obviously a crazy stalker!
ReplyDeleteNice post, Sannie
Hi Sannie,
DeleteThanks. Liam is a lover, so true. I am sure little Peggy had no idea about such crazy feelings., but she sang the words with gusto. What a voice! I laughed at your characterization-very funny
