A
little update...I have not quilted since my husband's death from suicide 5 years
ago. But I just recently felt the tinges of the quilting bug again
(although it still may be some time before I can start quilting again).
The past 5 years I have been attending college. This fall I was hired
as a Special Education teacher for 4th grade and Kindergarten students. I
feel like I have made a difference in helping them with their learning
difficulties. I have also been going to graduate school while being a
first year teacher and it has been overwhelming. In between earning my
Bachelor's degree and being hired as a teacher I meet someone very
special. We were married in May 2015. He is the most caring, generous
and loving person I have ever met. I am so internally grateful to have
found him and he is the love of my life. He is so supportive and I am
not sure if would have been able to accept this teaching job and
continue in graduate school without his support. He is a part time songwriter and performer and he has written several songs since we meet. Recently he wrote a song
which is very inspirational to me especially when I think about the
journey I have been on the past 5 years. We also sadly loss my father
this past September and my mom is having a tough time. This song was very inspirational to her. I hope it may touch others as it has touched
us.
Enjoy --"The Song" Lyrics and Music by Shane Brown--https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_vhBcwIDa8
Shane
has also written a couple of other songs for me since we have met. You
can listen to them under the video link on his website at www.shanebrown.online
He wrote "Cowgirl Shadetree" and "There is a Place". Another one of
his songs that I love is called "A Girl in a Rainbow. I hope you enjoy
them as much as I do.
I
hope once I graduate with my Master's degree in Special Education and
have my first year of teacher under my belt I will be able to get back
to quilting and continue to update my Quilting Blog ahttp://niftyfiftyquilters.blogspot.com/
