Whimsical's Profile

Whimsical's real name is Carla Best. Carla is 29 years old, is located in Canada and has been a SingSnap member since January 10, 2009. So far she has made a total of 240 recordings.

I would not usually be one to join a karaoke site, although I do karaoke when I have the chance. I grew up in a musical family where I was taught that in joyous times and troubled times singing can be shared by all. In short my life has changed drastically. My husband of 2 months was diagnosed with brain cancer and my heart, mind & soul has been through surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, being a nurse & my in-laws moving in with us. I have been left feeling as though I am in a glass box screaming. So the way I see it it, I might as well belt out song in that glass box instead.

*Well that glass box is evermore close to shattering. My Scott has been getting an MRI every 2 months b/c we were warned the cancer would come come back. At the start of Aug/09 we were informed that it has come back & worse this time. It is now rapidly progressing into his occipital lobe, corpus calloasum & frontal lobe. Inoperable this time. Every song I sing is for Scott, the other pea in my pod. I meant every vow of "in sickness & in health" & I will do my best to gather the strength to get us both through what lies ahead.

Nov-09: Scott has been on a very promising clinical trial & his last MRI showed a dramatic decrease in the size of the brain tumours. Doc's say it's remarkable! I know I'm married to a miracle. Now we look forward to the possibility of starting a family, as we were smart cookies and banked sperm before the chemo & radiation! (Sigh, yes in reality there are certain people that actually have to deal with this stuff) It's been an exhausting rollercoaser, one which I regret meeting the height requirements for, LoL.
But I would like to thank the Lord & anyone out there who has held even the tiniest li'l prayer in your hearts for us!
Keep the Faith,
Carla
