Holly's Story

Hey, it's been 30 years, how am I supposed to catch you up on what's happening with this little bit of space. Some of you may remember my husband Gary from the 20 year reunion. Gary passed away on March 11, 2007. He was waiting on a second heart transplant. ;-( We had a happy life together and made many, many happy memories. I threw myself into grief counciling, soul searching and therapy, as I did not want to stay in that state of pain for any longer than I had to. I was fortunate enough to be able to take 6 months off from work to focus on getting better and to allow my heart to mend without the distractions of work. I went on several retreats and seminars too. It all paid off. I am once again happily married. Rick Heidelberg and I were married on July 12, 2008 (did you faint?). LOL We are both so happy and it is the perfect way to live the rest of our days. He and I were always very close and hung out a couple years after we graduated. Lost touch in early 1980. He was always so special to me. Many people asked about Rick at the 20-year reunion and when Gary and I got to my folks house my sister Kim, my brother Kent and my parents all asked if I ...Expand for more
saw Ricky or Heidelberg, etc. Then Gary threw up his arms and said -- who is this Heidelberg guy anyway. It was a hoot. I know Gary has a lot to do with my happiness now. Rick has been divorced for about 5 years and has 2 teenage daughters that he has had 100% of the time since then. I must say he has done an incredible job raising them on his own. Plus THEY LOVE ME!!! Yea! I could never have biological children, but these girls are MINE it is just that someone else had them for me. We are all excited about our future. We bought a home in Beebe on 4+ acres of land. Had our first horse delivered Saturday 8/2/08. I am still living in Tulsa, OK and in the process of selling my home and working a deal so that I can work remotely from Beebe. I've been with this same company for almost 15 years. I will be happy to be back in AR (never thought I'd say that!!!). All of my family is in Gravel Ridge or LR. So my life has completely turned around since Ricky and I first connected on May 12, 2008. He asked me to marry him on June 4th, we were married on July 12th, closed on our new home on August 1st. It's a very good life indeed. Hope to hear from you soon!
