About Me

As many of you know, my beloved husband Scott of 32 years past away in March. It is by far the most difficult thing I have had to journey through, and that journey is far from over. If you knew anything about Scott and I, you knew that we loved each other more than life despite the many difficult years that we had together. When you find out at age 30 that the love of your life has brain tumors you really discover each day how "to live like you are dying". We NEVER gave up hope! Anyway for those of you that care to read, as part of my healing process I've decided to blog. I am not a writer by any means., but so many people seem to think that this works and I'm willing to try anything to help deal with the pain. Let me start by saying, I am not angry with God. God gave Scott to me for a short period and I wouldn't trade the love that we shared together in Christ for anything. I recently told some people at Griefshare that Scott's diagnosis 22 years ago was a gift. It was difficult to hear, but we learned how to appreciate every moment that we had and so many people don't get that chance.

Catch up

Okay, it's been several months since I've written anything. It's been so busy. Thanksgiving and Christmas have come and gone and a New Year has well begun. Harmony is about ready to give birth to our 3rd grandchild, a girl (Grace Noel)in June. This will be the first birth that I get to be present for so I'm very excited about that. Melody is working hard to support her family while Chris is looking for a new job. Musette is finishing up her last term at the NC School of the Arts. It has been an interesting year for us. Scott has had a few set backs in his health, but he keeps on going. I gave my first faculty recital with my colleague and former professor, Jim Fogle, at Meredith College. I was quite pleased with how it turned out. I would have to say that it has been one of the highlights of this year so far. The other being a surprise "50th" birthday party that our children threw for Scott and myself in March. Surprise would have to be an understatement. We couldn't believe that they put together this party along with the help of my dear friend Honey Beth without our knowledge. Hopefully I will have pictures posted soon of that event. Scott and I also celebrated our 29th anniversary in March. The school year is winding down with end of the year recitals to give and play for, and that will keep Scott and I very busy throughout the months of April and May. Well that's the past 6 months is a nutshell (a very small nutshell).
