Strait From My Heart

I have a story to tell...
it's strait from my heart.
One month, and one day ago...
my world fell apart.

The Good Lord seen fit...
to change my life around.
He called for my Husband...
to His Heavenly bounds.

My life feels so empty...
so many tears I weep.
and i have to tell you, Dear Lord...
it's My Tommy I want to keep.

"To have and to hold...
til death do us part",
we said to each-other...
came strait from my heart.

I miss you, my husband...
such sadness I bare.
But I feel you are near me...
I know that you're there.

To My Husband, Tommy....... ~11-8-58 ~ 7-24-99~


~I love you all-ways.... and forever....~

When Tomorrow Starts Without Me




Hello,,,,,
My name is Debby, and i'm a 42 year old Mom of 3 children. Christopher, who just turned 20, Adam, who's 18, and a daughter named Casey, that turned 14 in March. I also have a step-daughter, who's 21, named Crissy. All of our worlds seemed to be going good, til July 24th, 1999... Going back.... I met Tommy in July, 1986, for the 1st time. We didn't see one another again for almost a year, and when we did, WoW!! I fell, and i fell hard... We were like one, in so many ways, and sooo in love... After a short period of time, He and I were in-seperable... Tommy was not only fantastic with me, but with my kids as well. As alot of "step-familes", we were all very close, so very close... Time went on, Tom and I were engaged, then married. We were "together" for almost 12 years, when tragedy struck our lives... It was a Saturday, beautiful day, July 24th, 1999... I was sick, and suppose to be out of town that day, but i never made it to due to my illness. Tommy had previous plans to go to a benefit for a family in crisis. If you ever meet anyone that knew Tom, they'd tell you he had the biggest, most kindest heart you ever seen! Anyways, he left for the benefit he was attending, and i stayed home. He walked out the door at noon that day... The very last time i seen My Love... Several days before Saturday, my oldest son, Chris, went to New York, to the WoodStock Concert. My other son, Adam, went to work, as normal on a Saturday, and my daughter, Casey, went to the roller rink with her friends. I was home alone... and sick... At 7:20 p.m., my phone rang, and God help me, i'll NEVER forget the words i was hearing... It was my friend that Tommy had gone to the benefit with, telling me "You're going to hate me, Oh My God, Debby, you're going to hate me, Tom's dead, he got on my motorcycle, he lost control, he's DEADDDDD" My mind went fuzzy, as i listened to him screaming... The police came to me at 9 p.m, it was all true, My T was gone, died instantly at 7 p.m.There's so many things that happened then, that to this day, i simply cannot remember what all happened for several days... weeks... My family, and my wonderful friends, sooooo many i met right here, on the internet, kind of "took-over" for a week or so, cause God knows, i COULD NOT think... Everything had to be postponed, 1st of all, because Chris was un-reachable at WoodStock. He didn't come home until the following Tuesday. Oh, God, take away the looks on the faces of my kids when they each found out... The wake was on a Wednsday, and Memorial Service Thursday, the 29th of July. Tom had been cremated on the 26th, as was both of our wishes... I sank for so long, and so deep, before i knew it, a month had passed, which brought me to this poem, "Strait From My Heart", and to the end-beginning of My Love..

God Bless..

MY TRIBUTE TO ROSEBUD-41   For a friend who is ever so dear, We want you to know that we have shed some tears, For you have touch so many hearts How we hurt that your world has been torn apart. The Lord sent some angels from Heaven above, They came calling your true love. The pain and grief we know is hard to bare, We want you to know we will always be there. For you have helped so many in their times of need, We are truly blessed you are a very special person indeed. Though some us have yet to know what it is like, To have a loved one taken away in the night. All we can do is give you our love and support, and help you through your loss of course. We love you Rose, cause no-one can compare, to you our wonderful friend who has always been there!

To My Friends..
Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there. They serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are and who you want to become.  You never know who these people may be: your neighbor, child, long lost friend, lover, or even a complete stranger who, when you lock eyes with them, you know at that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.  And sometimes things happen to you and at the time they seem painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would have never realized your potential strength, will power, or heart. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck. Illness, injury, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whether they be events, illnesses or relationships, life would be like a smoothly paved straight flat road to nowhere, safe and comfortable, but dull and utterly pointless. The people you meet who affect your life and the successes and downfalls you experience create who you are, and even the bad experiences can be learnt from. In fact, they are probably the poignant and important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them, for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart. If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and eyes to things you would have never seen or felt without them. Make every day count. Appreciate every moment and take from it everything that you possibly can, for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people you have never talked to before, and actually listen, let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to. Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you either. You can make of your life anything you wish. Create your own life and then go out and live in it! Live each day as if it were your last.
I Love You All...
