I'll take your comments on board and try to trust that if it has meaning for me others will find value in it too. Thanks, rae.

Mine taught me about the kind of partner I wanted to be and how to be ok with yourself no matter what. I agree that is is too easy to get trapped in the sadness and the grief when the chaotic universe serves us, or our loved ones, something we deem unfair. My focus will be to let go of the pedalstool I had her on and to not judge the situation as wrong, bad or unfair. Hopefully this will free me up to learn to love her in all of her intricacies now. Thanks for sharing. Elisa wat is it about vocal coaches? Mine taught me about the kind of partner I wanted to be and how to be ok with yourself no matter what.

Other than the fact that sometimes bad things happen to good people. It doesn\'t make the people bad, it makes the situation bad. And we can dwell in the pain and sadness at the loss of the good, or we can celebrate it and become examples of it in the world. My hero died when I was about 15 years old from colon cancer. She was the most amazing woman I have ever know. She taught me to love music (she was my piano and voice teacher) and taught me so much about life I probably didn\'t understand at that age. She taught me about the kind of person I want to be. When I started participating in Relay for Life (American Cancer Society fundraiser) three years ago (and over 10 after her death) I finally began to understand these lessons. It\'s too easy to be sad/angry/hurt...instead you have to work hard to remember the good and learn from it. PS - This is MUCH easier said than done. 10 years mind you.
