Round and Round...Heart to Heart

                                       My daughter Kelley is 24. She is not only beautiful in so many ways, but she is amazing through and through!
She grew up on me before I knew what was happening! Today she is married to an equally awesome man, Full-time student, P/T worker, and a member of the Dixie Derby Roller Derby!

As many of you know, I lost both of my parents Dec. 2009. My father passed away on Dec. 31, 2009, after a 9 1/2 month battle from Heart Disease complications. As a result of the love & care given to Dad during his fight for life, and her desire to be with my father, my mother passed away unexpectedly on Dec. 29, 2009 -two days before my father. They were married more than 50 years and were the center of our universe!
Heart Disease is the legacy of our family history. My father lived to the age of 69 (Dec. 5, 2009) - outliving 5 generations of Blocker men, all who died from heart disease. Heart disease is the NUMBER 1 leading cause of death in both the Booth & Blocker sides of my family.
On Feb. 9, 2001 Kelley will participate in the 4th Annual Broken Hearted Skate-a-Thon, supporting the American Heart Association, in her grandparents' honor and memory! Please consider making any donation to help us fight for OUR lives. A small donation will make a big difference! Help us to help fund the research needed to stop Heart Disease so that my parents' deaths, and the deaths of so many, will not have been in vain.

Follow this link to visit Kelley's personal web page (follow her Roller Derby adventure) and help us in our efforts to support the American Heart Association. Help spread the word!

The Dark Days

I still have them...just without drinking through them. Sometime I wish I could, but it's not an option if I want to live. Peace
