Thanks for posting the whole story which moved me and the others above. Being his fan makes me feel happy and posting online with other fans is icing on the cake.

(And I only go to Florida like...once every five years!) And then my Mom and I just happened to walk up to the hotel as Taylor arrived. Weird, man.carylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16584071470778778229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727120322518077832.post-41605589473665683692009-05-12T11:32:00.000-05:002009-05-12T11:32:00.000-05:00I knew a little about the loss of your mother-in-l...I knew a little about the loss of your mother-in-law but thank you for sharing the whole story. I don't know if EVERYTHING happens for a reason but I do believe many things are NOT coincidences.

My mother-in-law was my friend and I still miss her so much.<br /><br />I don't know what it was about Taylor that brought me back to life when nothing else could, but I owe him a lot. I guess that's why I'm such a loyal fan. I'm trying to pay him back in my own small way.<br /><br />I added some of the photos from Tampa to this post. Duh! Don't know why I didn't think of that yesterday.carylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16584071470778778229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2727120322518077832.post-31656786966377093052009-05-12T09:06:00.000-05:002009-05-12T09:06:00.000-05:00You have such a wonderful gift Caryl.

Maybe it's your amazing ability as a writer. Maybe it's that so many of us have our own stories to tell. But I think that it's probably how amazingly strong I think you are, Caryl.
