The Summeralls at Hilton Head
It’s hard to believe but 14 years ago today I managed to pull off the biggest heist ever. I got Anna Michelle Sheets to say, “I do!” I don’t know why she did it, maybe temporary insanity, maybe she felt sorry for me, maybe she was desparate. I don’t know and to be honest I really don’t care. All I know is that one fall day in Class Piano IV at Carson Newman College, I met the woman of my dreams. I love her with all of my heart and by sheer grace she loves me back. She is the wonderful mother of our two daughters. A tremendous National Board Certified Music Teacher. A passionate Children’s Choir leader. And a Woman of God.
The last 14 years have not been all roses, we’ve had our ups and downs, but really more ups than downs. We’ve been through more weirdness than most folks and less than weirdness than others. I am thankful and grateful that through everything Mickey has been by my side. She has supported me when I have made decisions that might go against conventional wisdom, she has encouraged me when I was ready to quit, she has prayed for me and with me during tough times. She has always been there.
I want to say to her, “Thank you.” Thank you for all you do and all you have done, I am looking forward to growing old with you! I love you!
Oh, I almost forgot to mention that I think that she is “One HOT mama!” Wouldn’t you agree?
