Kelly, it's so good reading about your life, and what you're up to now, and so wonderful that you've found a new interest in singing, and learning to play the guitar. And, like you, i was not looking for a new love in my life, but one has come along for me now too. I think sometimes when someone is needy for a new person in their life, they can attract the wrong type of person. But like you, i was also resolved that i did not want anyone new, but then someone very special has come along for me too, in just the last few weeks smiling smiley Good for you hon smiling smiley

Kelly, you really should write a book about your life. It is very therapeutic . As I was working on my book it seemed to make events and emotions much more clear. I was trying to make the reader understand but I was making myself understand as well.

Barb- Glad to hear you have found someone new as well. I just got back I have been away for about 5 weeks and got to spend sometime with him. He is also into music which is great. I have learned to never say never out of all this. I know my having HD was one of many reasons I did not want another relationship. I worried about it being wrong morally to let someone fall in love with me knowing I could self-destruct in the future. I really liked this guy and the last thing I ever wanted to do to him was set him up for a huge heartache in the future. Just before I was getting together with him I almost ended it right before it had even began but my sister Colleen talked me out of it. She reminded me that I may still have alot of good years left to live and love. Plus I had told him all about the HD had sent him a copy of the story "Family" that I had written. Colleen said he was making an educated choice to be with me regardless of the HD. Reading that book "eternal on the water" helped me to see it differently and really came at a perfect time. The main character with HD wondered that same things I did.
Paula- Good to see you are still alive and well. I know it has been awhile since I posted my last article...How are you doing?
Klivin and MrsPatwolf thanks for your kind words glad you enjoyed it.
Steve-Thanks for posting it. Sorry to hear about your Dad...
Maggie--Yes you are right I should wite a book but who ever would believe that so many crazy things could happen to one person.
January 24th marked 5 years since my Mom Anne passed away it does not seem possible she has been gone that long.

I still miss Anne. Just the other day I found myself laughing at a story she told me about a midnight encounter with a neighbor. And I often think about that strange florist that delivered a bamboo plant to her. It can't be five years, Brat!!
