I'm so glad you found both the strenght & courage to make that journey to enjoy a fantastic week-end with all of us. Now you can hold your head high and be proud of your accomplishment! And by the way, I have no doubt that it was your father's voice you heard telling you to go. Sometimes when we least expect it, those loved one who have passed on do come back to remind us to live and enjoy our lives! Here's my hug of joy for your triumphant return!

I know it was a hard one for you to make and prayed that God would guide you to do what was best for you, and knew that when the time was right you would go back one day. <BR/><BR/>I was overcome with emotion and happy that you made your decision to go to New Orleans and it was because of Taylor that you got the courage to go back to a city with so much history of music but also one that was filled with many sad memories for you from thirty years ago.<BR/><BR/>I know how it must have felt for you to drive into NO and had tears in my eyes for you. Thank you for letting me share that time with you and making the trip back to New Orleans. God's Angels were with you.<BR/><BR/>I admire your courage and the person that you are for making this difficult decision.<BR/><BR/>God Bless You,<BR/>Mary Annmarykryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11850669523077598261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812480270013485003.post-72693222379420614592007-10-03T13:03:00.000-07:002007-10-03T13:03:00.000-07:00Judy, when I met you in Huntsville in March, I nev...Judy, when I met you in Huntsville in March, I never knew what secret pain you were holding onto. What a wonderful story of courage and determination to bring you again to the city where such tragedy happened. Taylor has made such an impact on people's lives, helping them to do things that they normally would not be able to do. God has put Taylor into our paths for some very specific reasons, and this may have just been the very reason he was put into your life. Enjoy the freedom that this lifting of a burden can give you.

Indeed, it was courage that Taylor gave to you. I can never know how you must have felt about NOLA before this summer but I can imagine. The relief of letting go of the weight of that burden you carried for so many years must have been phenomenal. I am so glad that you were able to experience NOLA in a different light and to have a happy memory now. Your courage gives me courage!

Now I know. What a heart-breaking story, and how devastating for you to not only find out that your father had passed, but to have to be the one to tell you mother. I am so glad for you that you were able to find the courage to go back to N.O. whether it was found through your father's spirit, Taylor, or God. Thank you so much for sharing your touching story. I enjoy hearing how Taylor has touched or changed people's lives and how he has brought strangers/friends together from all over who would have never had the opportunity to meet otherwise. <BR/><BR/>Hugs,<BR/>Casey (Soul Traveler)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4812480270013485003.post-89983172257407704082007-10-03T12:33:00.000-07:002007-10-03T12:33:00.000-07:00Judy--I had no idea you were going through this wh...Judy--<BR/>I had no idea you were going through this when we were away that weekend.
