Real Life with Rachel Proctor

Me & Emily...West - 11/20/06

My mother was very young when she found out she was going to have a baby. Still in high school, she and my daddy were scared to death. It was a very difficult thing to go through for the whole family but my grandmother said she just knew that this baby was going to be a special one. That baby was me.

From the time I was born my grandparents were very important part of my life. My every Friday night was spent at their house watching The Hulk, Dukes of Hazzard, and Dallas. Then we would watch Johnny Carson and my grandmother would swear he was waving at her at the end of the show and, of course, I believed her... for years.

A few years ago my grandfather was diagnosed with lung cancer and was only given a few months to live... but he fought really hard and lived for three more years. During his struggle I wanted so badly to give him something to let him know how much he meant to me and the impact he’d had on my life. I decided to write him a song.

"Stronger Hearts" is a true story of how I came into the world.

Hope you enjoy it.

Love,
Rachel
