Billy's Story
Hello Everybody,
I've had a blast seeing alot of old friends here lately. I was always hesitant to go to get togethers and reunions in the past. But I went to a gathering a couple of Saterdays ago and had a great time. It's interesting to see how people turned out and what they are doing with their lives. Frankly, I'm not to good at remembering names from the past but, sometimes, once we talk I can remember their faces from school, which is hard after 30 years.(for me)
I have recently divorced after 21 years and am raising my two kids and playing in a couple of bands in my spare time (which isn't much). Work for Rodman, LLC as a Project Coordinater so I stay pretty busy. Having fun, sometimes hard, raising my two kids. They are great kids and I'm very luck to have them. Their talanted and funny. There is never a dull moment in our house. We love to watch comedies in our theater room and also put on a concert dvd and crank the surround sound up. We have a big music room/studio that me and my son work on our different music projects. At 15, Cody is already writing and has his own band. He's gone a long way in one year, I'm very proud of him. His sister Karly is also talented. Can sing anything, play a little bass, drums and guitar. But...Expand for more
she is an excellent photographer. Conceptually, she has outstanding ideas.Im very proud of her, too. Could be her calling and she is the funniest person I know. Alot of time has gone by since Skeeter days and I used to believe that i didn't want to look back, so I didn't go to any of the reunions. I'm kinda regretting that decision now because I'm realizing it's good to see people from that time period. It reminds me of all the fun we had. I didn't make the most of things that were available to me back then but things seemed to work out ok. Would of definantly went on to be a doctor like I wanted to if I knew! (A boy can dream....too late wake up!).
I've always tried to be a good person, father and husband. I think I've always been friendly to people, I'm a devoted dad and was a loyal husband. I thought I had married the "love of my life" but I couldn't give her what she needed so she moved on. Trust me I never would of believed at 47 i would be single, raising my two kids. But, you know, thats the cards that were dealt and I'm making the best of it.
Didn't get out much after the divorce but thats over (albeit hard) and now I'm having fun meeting new & old friends. Hope to run in to you in the future! BJ
