Libby's Story
I watched the sunrise over Daytona Beach yesterday (NOT a morning person usually but I love a sunrise over the ocean), and I contemplated what would I want people to know about me after all these (30) yrs since HS. I have a feeling for how fragile life is now after losing my Dad, a baby, and a kidney! But I know now more than ever that there is a Hope...there is a Love..that the Lord is there to walk me through this life and give me grace and peace even when I don't understand...I can still praise Him "through the storm".
I got my Doctor of Optometry degree from UMSL in 1987 and have two offices near Orlando Florida where I've lived since 1989. It's beautiful here (except for the hurricanes! which I thought wouldn't affect me inland...WRONG!), but I do miss the St. Louis fall and the peace of the first ...Expand for more
snow in winter (then the freezing rain/sleet ruins it all!!), AND I REALLY MISS TOASTED RAVIOLI FROM RIGAZZIS AND TED DREWES FROZEN CUSTARD!!!!!!!! , cardinals baseball and the Muny/Fox! So I try to visit every few years for a nostalgia fix and see if the old house is still there. I have been married 23 years to the Floridian who swept me off my feet in college and we have raised 4 happy cats and try to travel/escape as often as we can! So many memories of HS keep floating up to the surface...so many genuine and good people I had in my life then...and Kevin Depper...if you ever read this some day...Thank you for making HS so special and for being such a gentleman all those years...I can't think of you without smiling and hope your life is happy.
