THE DAY MY MUSIC DIED!

Well, deep subject for a mind which can no longer swim! It was on this day a hundred years ago, nope not quite that long, it just seems that way. Anyhow, it was on this day seven years ago that the music died for me. To steal an expression from a song I once knew a long, long time ago by DON McCLEAN. Remember that song about let's see I'M not too, too sure about this because it happened before my time but, I think it was BUDDY HOLLY, THE BIG BOPPER, and RICHIE VALENZ died in a plane crash. The song called fittingly THE DAY THE MUSIC DIED, I think. Well, I would be hard pressed to compare myself to those great artists. However, when I think about things the music really did die for me on that day seven years ago. I mean the day I was killed in a boating accident. I wasn't really killed as in no longer breathing, that sort of thing. However, I no longer knew life as I knew it before. So in a sense,yeah I was killed. I doubt if SANDY will ever want to read this, and she probably won't. But, yeah I could say that is my favorite song now but I won't, cause it isn't. I'D rather have as few reminders of that day as I can. Because, it just reminds me of everything I'VE lost but at least I'VE still got my son. And he's reminder enough of the day the music died for me. I have to thank GOD that he didn't get hurt any worse than he did. And fortunately, I instead of my wife, went with him INNER TUBING that fateful day seven long years ago. Now everyone's been telling me ever since the accident that one will recover or recuperate much within the first two years after a TBI. However, it's been seven years since, and I know I'VE made a lot of progress over that time. However, it's difficult for me to see that progress because, I'M just living out my days, writing stories, and playing a lot of SOLITAIRE. So, I can't see the progress. I probably won't be able to see the progress either. That's like asking somebody if they can see themselves getting taller. Well, I'VE never been able to watch myself grow, maybe you can. I doubt it. However, you get the gist of what I'M saying. Don't you? Da. I probably, won't be able to see my progress until the world stops revolving around me. I know, I tend to talk about me a lot but what does anybody expect. When all the attention for the past several years has been focused on me, my FORMER DENTAL practice, and what I am doing with myself now. Well, I never asked for any of this. Just remember that.
