Memories of Felicity and Gus

Here are highlights of their relationship.

Felicity and Gus

The woman fussing at Gus is Felicity's Aunt Hetty she got Gus to go to school and has always believed in him. Gus neverhad anyone to help him till her, Felicity is a lot like her. I can't tell you everything here you just got to watch it. There are Seven Seasons.

Felicity and Gus

Gus was a poor lad with no family, no education and no hope for the future, Felicity was a high faluting, intellingent serious young lady who would've dreamed they would fall in love, but they did. As they grew up their love grew. Gus has hid himself because he feels since his accident Felicity would be throwing her life away on him. Felicity is determined to find him and marry him as she has always dreamed. My daughter and I love this show and I started to post it on my parenting blog but morepeople see this one and I want to share this with as many as possible.

Felicity and Gus a Beautiful Love Story

I have been thinking a lot lately on how sweet and beautiful love can and should be and I am realizing now for the first time in my life that I once held such a love something I knew but time and sadness had stolen it from me and even tried to convince me it did not exist. In these next few clips from my favorite show Road to Avonlea you will witness a beautiful love story of a love that began in childhood an blossomed. Gus and Felicity epitomize that sweet young love that can and does last a lifetime, I believe if you don't marry that first love you will always feel as though you settled. Gus is thought to be dead lost at sea in a shipwreck, but Felicity goes on a search for him knowing in her heart he's alive.

1996 What a year!

Well, here it was 1996 and after Teresa and I talked she seemed somewhat relieved that I had decided to stay in the relationship. Her being that way gave me some glimmer of hope that she might really care for me in her own way. Little did I know at the time that the truth was that at that time she just wanted out of her parents home so bad and she was so afraid of being an old maid I think she would've married just about anybody.Things went fairly well for us for the first few months of that year, there were no big catastrophes until that spring. I am still not sure what all really happened all I do know is that Teresa moved out of her parents home. She said it wAs they would no longer allow her to see me (she was 26 at the time). I got the feeling though there was more to it than that, but Teresa surE wasn't going to tell me she was a very private person with everyone except her mother. Teresa had nothing basically at first, but they did bring her some furniture after I said I would get her some. She had to refinance her car and everything, I was in shock at the time because I so wanted to believe she had done this for us so we could be together how stupid was I ?

Our Song Now

Of course since we are apart we no lnger have a song, but another Reba song says a lot about where we are now. It's entitled every other weekend. Here it is for you to enjoy. I love te way Reba uses the kids from her tv show in the video. I am like a kid in a toy store with this new technology!

My Song to Teresa

Now that I have figured this out I wanted to share with you all the song I wrote about earlier.It is the song I felt was so true for Teresa's and mine relationship back then and maybe even more so now.Even the way it starts out with the words I sent you Roses that was exactly the way it began for us. Here's Reba McEntire's "Till You Love Me"

It's Here!!

Well guys and gals it's finally here my new music site that I have been promising you and I know you will love it. I plan to have great Southern Gospel, Classic Country and maybe even a little 80's Pop thrown in there too. If I don't mess it up to bad I will sing a song or two. I sincerely appreciate you all clicking in!

New Years 1996!

Well, I was headed back for Somerset,Kentucky just as fast as I could go. Here I was in one of the largest cities in the country for the first time in my life something I had always dreamed of doing, and I didn't see nothing but a pay phone! But I didn't even care I knew something, something I didn't know before. I knew that Teresa probably didn't love me and that I loved her anyway. All that I was already aware of but my revelation was this. I didn't care. Now don't get me wrong it still hurt me, but what I mean is I had found I would be willing to live with it and live with it I did and still do. Part of me believed I could make her love me in time and part of me knew that was never going to happen. I just knew that I hadn't felt this way about anyone except Jalaine in my life and by dragging my heals I had lost her and I didn't want to lose Teresa to. I just couldn't go through that again. I had decided to live with that knowledge and accept it. I headed back to Marchetta's to wring the New Year in with them since Teresa had said we would talk on Monday and I knew better than to disturb her family on a holiday. I made it back before midnight and we had a wonderful time of fun and fellowship me, Lisa and Marchetta and her two sons. But amidst all the laughter there was some sadness on my part as it was beginning to sink in that with my acceptance of Teresa's feelings that I would never have a happy home like I was in right now.

The Big City New Years Eve 1995

So by a miracle of God the old car started up and I had escaped an almost certain doom. I almost turned around and went home which would be so typical of me since I have always let fear rule my life, but I determined this time would be different. So in faith, I turned that old car toward Chicago and I persevered on. I couldn't explain it, but in my spirit I just knew that by the time I reached the city I would soehow just know what to do. Now I had always dreamed of going to Chicago and seeing all the skyscrapers especially Sears Tower, which at that time was the tallest building in the world! I remember getting nervous as the roads widened and the subway appeared (which at the time I didn't realize that was the subway). There was a terrible fog that morning and I really didn't even get to see the tops of the buildings, but I knew it was by far the largest city I had ever been in and despite my fascination of it all I barely looked it's way.I drove to the north side of town and stopped at a Shell station. I called my mother to tell her where I was and immediately she began yelling and cussing so I just hung up on her. Then I called Marchetta and told her I would be there to bring in New Years with her and Lisa and got back in the old Caddy. I knew I had made the right decision and God even confirmed it. In front of me at the gas station was a couple from another Kentucky town very close to mine. In fact it was Bowling Green which our Parkway went straight to and Chris and I had traveled on very recently on one of our wild trips. to me this was God confirming to me I was on the right road. Now if this old bucket of bolts will just get me home. I could see what Teresa thought about my plans.

100th post!

I can't believe my 100th post is just to tell you I am too tired to post now and since it's my weekend with Nat I will post on Monday. Wow what a way to celebrate this milestone huh?

The journey continues

I was only a few miles outside of Indianapolis when the old Caddy went kerplunk! Here it was the middle of winter and the middle of night and I am in a strange place in an old car and I am about to be stranded. (The only person that would've come and got me would have been Chris, but this was before cell phones and he was away at College). Teresa even would not have come after me she would've said I had gotten what I deserved and no one in my family would've come either. By the grace of God I just happened to be at an exit with a motel. I will never forget this as long as I LIVE! It was a Dollar Inn I had been seeing them along I-65 since midway into Indiana, they look cheap and disgusting, but if I was going to have a big repair bill to pay I NEEDED cheap and disgusting besides there was no way to get anywhere else. When the clerk came out to wait on me she was in that awful Goth clothes and I had never even seen that before. She had black make-up on and black fingernail polish and a bunch of tattoos and piercings and I just knew I would be murdered there, but I felt like the Lord had led me there with the car dieing just as it made it to the parking lot. So I got my key and went to my room which was awful!It is by far the worst room I have ever stayed in, in my entire life. I thought I would catch a disease from the sheets! I prayed for several hours before I fell asleep for guidance and wisdom in my situation, but mostly I prayed for my car to start in the morning.By the grace of God it did just that! God had healed my car I know of no other solution! Now onto Chicago, but would I even make it?

The Big Decision

So here I am in this most foul mood, heading out in the dead of winter, in my old Caddy with almost 200,000 miles on it. I was upset, worried, frustrated and oblivious to how stupid this really was. I mean I didn't even have a clue as to where I was headed or if my old car would even get me back home. I had no idea if I would run into a snow storm or ice. I just knew I had to have some quiet time without anyone, especially my mother screaming about what they thought about all of this. I headed out toward Louisville and by the time I got there my mind was a blank. I honestly hadn't had a single thought (just some tears) in nearly 150 miles! I said to my self that I would go on to Indianapolis, yes that's it and surely by that time I will know what I want/need to do. The stretch of Interstate between Louisville and Indianapolis was a little more productive at least, I had some thoughts. I could only really concentrate on how mad she could make me. The only other person who could make me so angry was my mother. I think it's because they were supposed to love me and I knew or at least felt they didn't. I also knew though that if I didn't really and truly love them both then I wouldn't have cared enough in the first place to get so angry. I was not about however, to live my adult life the way I had lived my childhood (just look in the archives at those posts!). Still I loved Teresa and maybe I would never find love again? What am I going to do? JUST KEEP DRIVING!?!
