OMG, it has been a lonnnnngggg time since I have posted anything here. Lots of changes in my life. It turned out we were wrong about what John was suffering from when we were last in Costa Rica together. Unfortunately, we found out that John actually was suffering from stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer. He could have gotten paliative chemo treatments to extend his life, but after trying half the dose and feeling so sick he couldn't do anything, he decided to just live out his time working on finishing up some recordings of songs he had written and performed with his band. We also decided to get married so that I could be involved in caring for him during his last days. We married, and two and a half weeks later his life here on earth ended. I was devastated and depressed for a long time. Some friends of mine invited me to go to the Country Music Park in Cortland, NY, where they introduced me to another couple that they had become friends with. This couple are now my BFFs. I got in the habit of going to the "Park" every Saturday night. I spent a lot of time with tears rolling down my cheeks, but due in large part to the camaraderie I enjoyed with my new friends, I met a wonderful guy at the Park in 2012. We have been living together for almost a year now. His life has changed a lot also! He had not been in a "relationship" for over 14 years and had not expected to be in a relationship at all. Fate brought us together. We love each other so much. I hope God let's us have a long life together.
I hope to get some more of my photos posted here in the near future. Have a wonderfully happy day!
