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.

Dec. 4th, 1978

Dear Tricia,
Well, here I am-and there you are-I'm already lonely! I sure am glad you called today, I really missed your voice. I wanted to call but I know that I shouldn't. Anyway-I'm glad (estatic) to hear the good news. It is a load off of both of our minds.
Right now I'm in the middle of cataloging the rest of my music. It's tedious but I think it's worth it. Even today I had to use the music file to find a Nocturne to play. It was quite helpful. With as much music as we both will have together, we could open a music store.
The Lord has caused me to be quite fruitful since I've been home. It helps to keep my mind occupied so I don't get down and depressed. I got my room clean. applied for a job, looked at vans, got my music straightened out, decided what to practice on piano and went to church and a concert all in 36 hours.
Tomorrow Dad and I are going fishing in the ocean with our boat. I'm excited because it will be the first time in years that we have done anything together alone. I pray that it goes well and that we draw closer together.
We sure had a great time together last week outside the group. I can't wait until we can have those times 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the rest of our lives. I'm so excited about our future ahead. You better be also! Please don't be afraid of losing me or anything like that. I love you and am married to you for all practical purposed. We know how we stand before God and I am strong and happy in that.
I could write all night, but I will be writing again tomorrow when I can say more. I will make the attempt, God willing, to write everyday. I hope you do too. It's so important to keep in some kind of daily touch.
My devotion this morning had to do with patience (of all things). I took one aspect of patience and researched it fully. It was "patience in quarrels." I came up with 3 good references. I will share a little about my daily devotions with you and you with me. Ok?
the verses I came upon via Strongs Exhaustive Concordance were 2 Tim. 2:24,25; James 5:8-9; and I Tim. 3:3. The best version of the last verse was in Jerusalem bible. "...not a heavy drinker, not hot-tempered,but kind and peaceable. he must not be a lover of money." So goes my devotion--
I best sign off now, love. Take care and dream about me. I will dream about you-
I love you (forever)
Scott
maranatha!
