Dolly Parton supports Vanderbilt COVID vaccine development

 People like Dolly and Kelly and the good doctor are the people who make America Great. The dedication, hard work, blood, sweat and actual tears of the kind doctor are inspirational and heart rendering. Thank God for people like you who step up to do the real work that needs to be done. Who work without spite or blame to address the problems we face head on and to find a solution, offer us a cure. Thank you, thank you thank you to Kelly for sharing her beautiful voice but going above and beyond to shine a light on good people who care and thank you to Dolly Parton for using your fame and fortune to do the same. I have to use your own words to say what so many of us feel, that we will always Love You.

I cannot imagine the pain of your loss and thankful that you took the time to acknowledge the efforts of Kelly, Dolly and the doctors and nurses who worked so hard to save her. I hope you are able to find peace in knowing that you were there for your wife with all the love that first brought you together. Thank you for sharing your story that I might never take for granted the gift of life and love that I’ve been given.

My Grown up Christmas List

 My Grown up Christmas List

Do you remember me

I sat upon your knee

I wrote to you with childhood fantasies

Well I'm all grown up now

And still need help somehow

I'm not a child but my heart still can dream

So here's my lifelong wish

My grown up Christmas list

Not for myself but for a world in need

No more lives torn apart

That wars would never start

And time would heal all hearts

And everyone would have a friend

And right would always win

And love would never end, no

This is my grown up Christmas list

As children we believe

The grandest sight to see

Was something lovely wrapped beneath the tree

But Heaven only knows

That packages and bows

Can never heal a hurting human soul

No more lives torn apart

That wars would never start

And time would heal all hearts

And everyone would have a friend

And right would always win

And love would never end, no

This is my grown up Christmas list

What is this illusion called the innocence of youth

Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth

No more lives torn apart

That wars would never start

And time would heal all hearts

And everyone would have a friend

And right would always win

And love would never end, no

This is my grown up Christmas list

This is my only lifelong wish

This is my grown up Christmas list
