Country music performers never seem to mind returning to their “roots.”

Enjoy!

It seems at every turn we hear of another person (well known or family or friend) who has been stricken with, and in many cases, succumbed to cancer. The dreaded disease shows no preference to any race, religion or political persuasion.

Thoughts and prayers are extended to the Gallagher family.

A story of love, devotion, struggle, patience and strength with a very happy ending.

The walk down the aisle yesterday was only a matter of yards. Yet for Martyn Compton it meant everything. Indeed, his determination to make the distance was matched only by that of the beautiful young woman he was about to marry.

And when he falteringly held out his hand for her to slip the gold ring on his finger, they both finally fulfilled the dream they had fought desperately against all the odds to make a reality.

Congrats to the happy couple.

Now, this is what you call a full life.

What an inspiration to others to do what you enjoy right until your last breath.
