The Piano

This animation symbolizes mortality. My wife Kathy had a heart attack and I nearly lost her. She had 98 percent blockage in one artery in her heart. Fifty percent in the others. She had angioplasty and they inserted a medicated stent to keep it open. When you watch this video, you’ll see why it has such a profound impact on me. The music is so inspirational I just love it even though it’s not the type of music I normaly listen to.

Kat is my other half and I don’t know what I’d do without her. You can visit her on her embroidery site at http://www.ksembroidery.com or stop in and visit her on her MySpace page at http://www.myspace.com/katgif Tell her a little spider sent you. She’s still struggling with the lifestyle changes.

I’d like to extend a special welcome to all my MySpace friends coming to visit me here. I hold a special place in my heart for all of you who inspired me to create this site. If it wasn’t for your kind words of encouragement I would have given up long ago. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! If there is ever anything I can do for you I hope you don’t hesitate to leave me a comment. As you know, I always get back to you as soon as I can. Being a spider, I live on the web. Thank you for visiting. I hope it was informative and you enjoyed yourself enough to send this URL to all your friends!

I want to extend a warm welcome to Mike from Florida, Extreme Exposure, the band members of the Kickin’ Chickins and to Dave down at Grand Oaks Auto Care in Howell MI. Welcome to ScottLandGraphics.com guys!
