The opening sound of the car's engine fit perfectly with the narrator's words, as did all of the other ambient sounds and transitional phrases. The genuineness and sincerity of the tone, in addition to the humorous anecdotes throughout the piece, were comforting. It put me in Natalie's shoes. I don't talk to my mother as much as I use to, but the feelings I have for her are just as strong as they were when I was little... maybe even a bit more since I know that I'll have to one day take her place and wean myself away a little. This piece hit a soft spot, and it's not just because I'm a sucker for love!

The only issue I have with the piece is that weird white noise that I hear when the volume is turned up. Everything else is fine. The transitions are perfect. The imagery? Amazing. Nothing can compare to the precision of this piece's message and I definitely want to hear this on every radio station on Mother's Day. Great job Natalie!
