Favorite Quote:
"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life."

He speaks to my heart in a way you have to experience to understand,
A way I would've never planned.
Memories that follow me every day,
He is my hero in more than one way.

I never understood how much I would appreciate
This one concert, staying up late.
One he was part of, a great one that,
As part of the main event, Rascal Flatts.

My heart is filled with joy when my mind goes to that night,
The one that was flowing with delight.
Joe Don Rooney is probably my favorite,
Since the 25th of October, when that rare but real spark lit.
