School is in its third week and you may feel like one of those on the boat in the picture. Things can get pretty hectic. Being a music major can be pretty tough at times.
As you know, I was gone a few days last week to attend the funeral of my nephew. He was 27 and had the unique experience of living all of his life knowing that he could die suddenly at any time. He had an extremely rare condition known as Loes/Dietz (I'm sure the spelling is incorrect) Syndrome. It's a condition where the walls of your blood vessels and arteries deteriorate creating aneurisms and tears. In his lifetime, he had four open heart surgeries and numerous other surgeries. As you can imagine, he was a courageous person. Even up to the time he died, he kept his sense of humor, cracking up the family, doctors and nurses. He had the good fortune to be married to a wonderful girl for five years who stood by his side during all of his health crises. It's a great lesson to me to live life more fully and appreciate all of the blessings I have.
