Kim's Story
NOVEMBER 27, 2014
OVER THE YEARS I HAVE WRITTEN AND DELETED WHAT WAS GOING ON IN MY LIFE. I REALIZED IN 2008 THAT I HAVE SOME VERY GOOD FRIENDS. WHEN IKE HIT GALVESTON COUNTY I FELT CARED FOR WHEN YOU WERE SO WORRIED FOR US. AS MOST OF YOU KNOW WE MOVED INTO OUR LAST (I HOPE) HOUSE AND I'VE BEEN VOCAL ON HOW I FEEL ABOUT LIVING IN A RV (EVEN IF IT WAS 42' LONG AND A DIESEL PUSHER)
ON THIS DAY 137 YRS AGO MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER WAS BORN, AND SHE LIVED UNTIL 1989, WHEN AT THE AGE OF 111YRS OLD HER BODY JUST GAVE UP. FOR THOSE OF YOU CLOSEST TO ME KNOW THAT AT ALMOST 56YRS OLD, I'M JUST FALLING APART. I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN BETTER CARE OF MYSELF - NO, I KNOW THAT I SHOULD HAVE. GRANDMA GREAT AS I CALLED HER LIVED MOST OF HER LIFE IN A SLOWER WORLD, SHE NEVER GOT MAD UNLESS SHE WAS REALLY PUSHED AND THOUGHT OF OTHERS FIRST. I KNOW THERE IS AN IMPORTANT LESSON IN HOW SHE LIVED HER LIFE NOT JUST FOR ME, BUT FOR MOST ALL OF US OF OUR GENERATION.
I HAVE PUSHED FOR ANOTHER REUNION JUST FOR OUR CLASS, NOW I REALIZE THAT THOSE THAT CARE ABOUT ME CONTACT ME VIA THIS SITE OR THE SCHOOL ALUMNI SITE OR BY E-MAIL AND ANYONE WHO WANTS IS WELCOME TO CONTACT ME VIA THIS SITE OR THE ALUMNI SITE. I WAS HAPPY TO HEAR FROM ANOTHER PERSON WHO WANTED A REUNION VERY MUCH PRIOR TO HIS DEATH, DAVID CARROLL, HE WAS WORKING IN HOUSTON THE FIRST TIME I HEARD FROM HIM AND WAS IN EL PASO THE LAST. I KNOW SOME OF YOU WERE CLOSE TO HIM, AND WERE ABLE TO SEE HIM OVER THE YEARS - MY POINT IS: IF YOU DON'T GET TOGETHER SOON MORE OF OUR CLASS WON'T BE AROUND TO SEE, THEY WILL JUST BE MEMORIES. SINCE I MOST LIKELY WON'T SEE YOU AGAIN, I WOULD LOVE A NOTE TELLING ME HOW YOU ARE, HOW MANY KIDS, GRANDCHILDREN YOU HAVE....HOW LIFE HAS TREATED YOU. I GUESS SINCE JOHN AND I MARRIED WHEN I WAS 22 AND I HAVE NOW LIVED IN TEXAS 33 YEARS, I AM A TEXAN, BUT MY INNER SELF STILL CALLS MOBILE HOME.
LEST YOU THINK I HAVE NO MANNERS, I REALIZE THE INTERNET CONSIDERS ALL CAPS YELLING. I JUST CANNOT SEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (NOW THAT WAS YELLING) ALL LOWER CASE IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME AND IT JUST LOOKS LIKE A 1ST GRADER WROTE IT. UPPER CASE ARIAL IS EASIEST...Expand for more
FOR ME TO TYPE AND SEE, SO IF YOU LIKE ME YOU WILL STILL LIKE ME AND IF YOU DON'T, WELL YOU JUST NEVER WILL.
SINCE I USE THIS AREA TO "LET IT OUT" I IMAGINE THE ONLY ONES THAT SEE THIS WILL BE FRIENDS, AND IF NOT - JUST GET OVER IT.

WOW! I MUST HAVE UPSET SOMEONE, AS I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM ANYONE IN A GOOD WHILE. I HOPE IT IS BECAUSE YOU ALL HAVE LIVES AND GRANDCHILDREN AND JUST DON'T HAVE A NEED TO CONNECT. BECAUSE WE ARE ALL GETING OLDER, THERE IS THAT CHANCE THERE ARE LESS OF US LEFT. FOR ALL THE PRECIOUS LIVES LOST, BOTH IN OUR CLASS AND IN OTHERS, I GRIEVE. MY LIFE HAS SETTLED DOWN AND I DON'T HAVE AS MUCH TO TELL ANYMORE. THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE KEPT UP WITH ME OVER THE YEARS ARE VERY APPRECIATED AND I STILL THINK OF YOU OFTEN EVEN THOUGH I MAY NOT RESPOND AS QUICKLY AS I USED TO. I REALIZED THE OTHER DAY THAT IN SEPTEMBER I WILL HAVE LIVED IN TEXAS 34 YRS AND I GUESS I SHOULD GIVE UP ON THAT DREAM OF EVER MOVING EAST AGAIN, AS I LOVE MY HUSBAND MORE THAN THE STATE OF MY BIRTH. I DIDN'T THINK ALL THOSE YEARS AGO I WOULD EVER FIND A MAN THAT I LOVE AS MUCH AS JOHN OR THAT ANYONE WOULD PUT UP WITH ME THIS LONG. SOMETIMES LIFE SUPRISES US IN A GOOD WAY.
FEBRUARY 2016
JUST ONE MORE YEAR TO THE 40TH ANIVERSARY OF OUR GRADUATION FROM HIGH SCHOOL. SOME WENT ON TO COLLEGE, SOME TO OTHER EDUCATIONAL ENDEAVORS, AND SOME JUMPED RIGHT INTO THE WORKING WORLD. NO MATTER WHAT THE PATH YOU TOOK , THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT YOU MADE IT TO THIS POINT IN YOUR LIFE - HOPEFULLY WISER FROM THE EXPERIENCE.
DECEMBER 2016
A LITTLE OVER 9 MONTHS HAS PASSED SINCE I ADDED TO THIS LIST OF RAMBLINGS - I AM BEGINNING TO BELIEVE IN GLOBAL WARMING, IT IS THE FIRST OF DECEMBER HERE IN GALVESTON COUNTY, AND I HAVE YET TO USE THE HEATER. SEPTEMBER 1981 I MOVED HERE AS A BRIDE AND AT THE END OF OCTOBER IT WAS CRISP AND THE END OF NOVEMBER WAS "COAT WEATHER" AND BY JANUARY IT WAS COLD. NOW IN DECEMBER 2016, I CAN'T REMEMBER THE LAST TIME WE HAD COLD WEATHER BEFORE FEBRUARY, AND IT DIDN'T LAST VERY LONG THEN.
I DO HOPE EVERYONE THAT READS THIS IS WELL AND HAPPY!
