A broken heart :(



They say a broken heart will mend.
Will it?
Our latest experience tells us that a broken heart can kill you(or just make you think so).
My hard working , never stopping, hard headed husband was rushed to the E.R. last week with chest pains, shortness of breath; i.e. heart attack symptoms. After two visits to the E.R., a couple of nitro tabs and a trip to the heart cath lab, it was shown that he is suffering from a broken heart. Not the kind they can fix. The kind you get when you grieve. He was told that his symptoms were very real and that a grieving person has added stress to their life and that CAN cause an actual heart attack.
IMAGINE THAT!
They told him to try and relax and to lower the stress factors in his life. HA!
How exactly do you propose he stop grieving?
Men especially, are guilty of holding things in or explosively letting them go.
Grief cannot be controlled.
Just remember the next time someone tells you you can't die from a broken heart-they're wrong!

Life?...Or just something like it...

Losing The Mississippi Kid


Just over 2 weeks since the Mississippi Kid festival and the world has lost another shining star,
May 6, 2009 Ean Evans passed away. He was just 48 years old.
Leaving behind a wife, 2 daughters a son-in-law and a beautiful granddaughter.
Lynyrd Skynyrd will not be the same.
The band has suffered many losses over the years , but this has been a shock to all.
Ean helped found the band Evans Capps and has been involved in personally or helped to promote many others. He was always looking to help someone else.
On the night of the Mississippi Kid festival He and Capps signed a new record contract in the camper where Ean was waiting his turn on stage.
Before the night was over, as sick as he was, he played. He played with members of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Bo Bice, Capps, and a few others. Ean's loving spirit was thrown out into the crowd. It was electrifying!
The new EvansCapps c.d was released yesterday. What a victory for Ean!
These sites feature some of the brightest moments and some of the saddest, but both tell a beautiful story of a very kind soul.
This FAMILY -never mind he was famous- needs your prayers.
