"HAS ANYBODY TOLD YOU THAT THEY LOVE YOU TODAY"
(the title of song #12 on my CD.)

############################################################

????Would you be interested in knowing how that song
came about????

Let me introduce myself. I'm Judy,and my husband
is Bill. We had two boys, Wil and Josh.

I loved both of my boys so much! I put my music career
on hold because I wanted to be with my babies
while they were growing up.

I did, however, continue to write songs and sing to my
babies. In fact, song #3 tells of the cute things
they did while just toddlers.

Each of our boys was so different in looks and in
personalities. One looked like me and one looked
like his father.

Our first born son, Will Russell, moved out from
home when he was only seventeen. His decision to
leave almost broke my heart. He got restless and
wanted to fly. There is only so much a Mom can do.

Almost immediately our son began to get involved
with drugs, alcohol and in trouble with the LAW.

Will was never happy anymore. He became so depressed.
We tried to get him to go to a doctor, to no avail.
He kept sinking deeper. I couldn't reach him, no
matter what I tried to do.

Years went by and I felt so helpless. His Dad wasn't
able to reach him either.

Then on August 19, 1999, I received a phone call from
a detective. He said there was a situation concerning
our son, Will, and he would have to get with us and
talk.

I asked the detective where we should meet him. He said
to meet him at the Emergency room.

At that moment, I knew that my son, Will was dead! I
went all to pieces and wasn't able to control myself. I
began desperately trying to find my husband and younger
son, who had just left home minutes before the phone
call about our son, Will.

Finally the three of us are enroute to the emergency
room. I think that this 20 minute ride was the longest
I had ever taken in my life.

Our fears were confirmed, our beautiful, sweet son was
dead. There was nothing that either of us could do,
except draw close to each other and tell each other
how much we loved each other.

In the first seven months that followed my son's death..
that's when I wrote song # 12. Tim Lawter and Rusty
Milner (former members of the Marshall Tucker Band)
are both helping me on this song. See the inside CD
cover for details.

Remember, "If you're somebody's baby or baby's somebody,
just tell them that you love them today".

Thought you'd like to know.
