This is a very honest talk about milestones in a woman's life, my life. Some light things to some very deeply personal firsts. Love & loss, adoption and reunion and searching to be proud. My first teacher....the first time I was proud of an accomplishment..my first car, my first music concert...the first movie I ever saw in a theater...the first time I kissed a boy and had sex...and what happened afterward. So much territory to cover. I hope perhaps some of my answers will spark some memories for you, and you will talk about something that was your " First Time"
I also want to say a huge thank you to all of you that have encouraged me to keep on with Desi's mid-week videos! This is so cool! Desi and I get to spend more time being together and that is awesome!
Love You All So Much....you being here means the world to me...you never fail to lift me up and remind me how good life can be if we stay true to ourselves and the truths we hold so dear.
Love & Hugs, Always, Susan & Desi

There is no such thing as life without love. Memories of those sweet kisses in cars have a way of making the love that once was, new again.

Hi Susi from Annie, lovely hearing these stories especially the one where by you at 14yr old had the love of that one true and only love that produced a child which you both sadly had to give up because of parents etc and you found your son years later ... It would have been nice if you had married that lovely lad, glad you found him to tell him about the son but its so sad he passed in his parents house and never married, he must have loved you truely.

I absolutely LOVE the hummingbird plate that has the earrings on it 🫶!! My Mama loved hummingbirds AND she also had a friend who was an artist (Lorena Padgett) and she taught my Mother how to do oil painting on china pieces. She also taught her how to use a kiln to fire her pieces in the stages from beginning to end! She painted many articles with flowers and hummingbirds on them. I have several different items that Mama painted but I have a special piece that she painted especially for me for a birthday gift ~~~A Victorian young lady doll! She also made the dress and petticoats and lace overlay on the dress. The dress is a royal purple silky material with poofy sleeves to the wrist with a delicate laced apron to cover the front of the skirt of her gown! It went well below the ankles and you can see the black lace-up boots that were painted and baked in the kiln just long enough to get the perfect finish to obtain a “leather boot” appearance. She has her own stand but as I was still a younger child when I received it as a gift…she ALWAYS got place in amongst the softest pillows on the bed after it was made every morning, and placed in a wooden cradle lined with a feather pillow for the night when I went to bed. I still have her yet to this day 💖💞💕and I can feel my Mama’s love radiate from her to this day. I will be 68 y/o in August and my Mama passed away in 2000, and I miss her ever so much but I have so many memories that are tucked away in my heart 💜! My Daddy also left an immense amount of loving memories in my heart too, but maybe I’ll share that another time. Thank you for taking the time to read this message to you!! I thoroughly enjoy your channel and I look forward to watching many more!!!

Susan I'm so happy your son found you and that you could talk to Ronnie before he passed. I cried for your loss and what you had to go through at such a young age. However, you had me laughing over your recounting what happened at Shindig. This was amazing video and was over way to soon.Susan your grace ,beauty and strength are things that we would all do well to emulate. My first kiss was when I was 16,my 1st time I was 17 and he was my 1st love and we've been married 35 years as of this Valentine's day. He took me to my 1st concert and it was John Anderson,The Belamy Brothers and Merle Haggard. My 1st car was a 1971 cutlass that was red with a black vinyl top. I loved that car! The first time I remember being proud of myself was when I made the pom-pom squad in high school. My school was a class D and very clique. My family didn't have money to spare on nice clothes and my mom was strict so I had never had a hair cut at a salon and I cut my own hair. It was atrocious. My mom told me I'd never make the team because it was so clique that even though the principles daughter couldn't do cartwheels and other requirements she was a cheerleader. When I made the squad I was ecstatic. I had done the entire routine without missing a beat even though one of my shoes came untied and I ended up stepping on the laces and almost stumbled then accidentally kicked it on the judges table doing a high kick .

@jacquelinedonoghue2135 2 года назад

Oh what a story Susan and what an incredible life you’ve had so far. Heartbreaking and happy. How sad for Ronnie and Sean not to have met his dad. You could truly write a book. We go through life and wonder how on earth we survive. I married my first and only boyfriend. Like you I was 14 and he was 16. We didn’t get pregnant then, but went on to have our girl who sadly died age 29. We have been married 48 years I was 21 when we married. It’s been hard without her for us both, but we go back such a long way that we don’t know where one of us ends and the other begins. God bless you and darling Desi 🌸 loved all of the video.

It’s so tragic when life takes our children as it’s not in the correct order and I truly wonder how we are supposed to cope with this profound loss. Eve was offered weight loss surgery on the N.H.S …I’m a u.k subscriber……and things went wrong after the operation…she suffered, mostly in hospital, for 6 months before passing away and as you know it’s the worst.

Hi Susan I always look forward watching you on Sunday morning having my coffee i love all your storys , when you started talking about Jerry x the Pacemakers I let my husband watch it. We go to Liverpool every year for a show called Sixties Gold , Jerry x the Pacemakers were always there. Last November the Pacemakers were there but because Jerry had died there was another man to do lead singer. But his wife was there x they presented her with beautiful flowers it was so sad. My husband loves the Sixties he is 70 x I am 62 . I can't wait to see you x wee Desie next week . Hope you have a good week x I hope you have a wonderful Easter.🐣 Lots of love DIANE x ALAN xx🤗🥰😘💖 FROM NORTHERN IRELAND 🐤🐥🐇🐣💐💐💐💐💐

It amazes me that every week you come to us all with a fresh take on life in the present as well as the past. And always with the promise to be there next week in our future. Sharing your life with seriousness and humor shows your transparency and desire to encourage other with your brave, open heart.

Hi Susan. What a beautiful walk down memory lane! I have a few of my own. I grew up in a suburb of the Motor City. I remember Motown music very well. My dad worked for Ford Motor Company. My dad and other family's were sent to Belfast, Ireland to start a Ford Motor Company plant over there. The year was 1964. Best time of my childhood. My first kiss happened in Ireland. His name was Daniel Weir. Another American family sent to start FMC. Anyway, there was a concert one night, my Mom told my brothers they had to take me and I remember it so vividly. My eldest brother hiked me on his shoulders so I could see better, as he stood on the chair. (I think that is why I am afraid of heights these days😂😂) The band playing was none other than...THE BEATLES!!! Yes, I remember a lot about that night. The suits they wore, their skinny ties. The year was 1964 or 1965. We moved back to the States in 1966. Thanks so much for bringing back those happy memories!

I remember the first time I was super proud of myself. In middle school our gym teacher assigned groups in her class to create and perform a modern jazz dance . This was in the early 60’s . We chose a song from West Side Story. Afterwards she came on stage and announced that our group had given the performance she was looking for….I was beaming with pride as we had practiced so hard to get our steps memorized. Thank you for triggering that fond memory from my childhood. Great video!!

Perhaps it just wasn’t meant to be. I married my first love at 15, he was 20 and we’ve been together for 54 years! It was the 60’s, our parents had to sign for us and no, I wasn’t pregnant🙂we share the same birthday, month and day-soul mates. Much love to you and Desi🥰

We still are very close- 51 years together- I don’t know what to call the relationship. It’s more then friendship. He is my best friend, yes but more. I’m married, 29 years. Happily. I almost think Randy is my Twin Flame. Soooo many life lessons together. He & my husband are close friends. I feel very blessed. He is just very special to me. My first kiss. My first steady, etc. then life happens but we managed to save our feelings for each other through it all. I loved this video. As I’ve said before, I love your music! I find it and add songs to my playlist from Spotify. You’re a fascinating person. I’m so sorry about Ron. 😢 And- I do love Desi!

Oh Mary, thank you for your sweet sweet comments...they mean the world to me. Ron and I were so close...and he was an angel to me. He got up in his 11th-grade class and had ot read a short story out loud and it was about he and I getting married! I was sent to an UnWed Mothers' Home so Ron and I could not see each other for 5 months. When I got home he was there. We were closer than ever and bonded by our sadness. My Mom came home early one-day from work and Ron and I had fallen asleep and she hit the roof. She threatened his father..." if your son comes near my daughter again I will have him arrested"....so that was it. We could not see each other. It was a pain like no other.

@shelleysquires7225 2 года назад

Wow Susan you're such a great storyteller! I'll answer three: First car in 1974 was a 1960 English Morris Minor. I bought my car one day, got my driver's license the next day, practiced shifting gears and then said to myself: I'm ready for the city! First concert: Janis Joplin with big brother and the holding company in San Francisco. First time I was really proud of myself was bellydancing professionally in San Francisco in 1995 at age 40. It felt like the culmination of a lifetime of dance classes all came together. I didn't start belly dancing until I was 35. It was fabulous. I don't know what anyone else thought but I felt like a goddess.

This was wonderful hearing about many of your firsts. So glad you were reunited with your son. Yes, life is like a river. Keeps flowing forward no matter what. My mom just passed March 2. She was 93. First time I was a caregiver to her. First time to arrange memorial service. I guess these are adult "firsts." Fun first: kissed by a boy I didn't know in the church basement. He came up behind me, covered my eyes, kissed me, then ran away. Lol lol lol. First wedding ring given to me in 5th grade by a boy who liked me. All very innocent. Both shy.

I erased what I had written a couple of times because it's hard to put in words how I feel. At times I feel happy, other times I feel sad, other times you have me laughing. It's like I'm reading a novel that I can't put down! A book that I keep coming back to read to see what will happen in the next chapter.

Oh Miss Susan... this video... no words. A lot of my "firsts"... I wish had never happened. I'm so in awe of your bravery to share some of your "firsts"... but then again, your firsts are not my firsts. I applaud your ability to open those doors into a past that is not always easy to relive or navigate. Hugs, Penny Sue

@christinamiller4660 2 года назад

What a sweet story....and I'm so glad you had nothing but good things to say about your first love. I hope his family knew how good he was to you under those circumstances. Your kindness in contacting him hopefully gave him some wonderful memories in his last months of life. Funny how things turn out. Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope your first born has kept in touch with you and the story continues.

Hi. I am going to answer en spanish. Hay muchas cosas que ya no recuerdo, admiro muchas cosas de ti, tu memoria y ese detalle de las cosas y los nombres yo no me acuerdo de nada, pero puedo contestar algunas. Mi mejor amiga y que aún me hablo con ella se llama María Esther, mi primero novio Daniel que era hermano de Ma. Esther, la primera vez que hice el amor fué con mi esposo en la luna de miel, pero hay algo que me sorprende el que seas tan abierta con las cosas de tu vida, pero esta historia de tu hijo, me llenó amor, que increible que haya podido encontrarse con él nuevamente es una bendición. Gracias por tan lindo video. Un abrazo muy fuerte y nos vemos el próximo sábado.

I love this video and your honesty ❤ What a blessing that your son found you. I kept in touch with my first love for years too. When he and his first wife divorced, he asked me to run away and marry him. I told him he was crazy because I was married. He said he had to try just in case I might say yes. And yes, I told my husband and he laughed and said he didnt blame him for trying. Sadly, my first love died 5 years ago of a heart attack. I talked to him just a week before he passed and the last thing we said to each other was I love you. It was a beautiful friendship that I'll always cherish. My first kiss was a boy named Scott. Aren't first kisses the best? I still remember the first time my husband kissed me and our first date. 35 years later he's still the handsome, brown-eyed boy that makes my heart flutter. I knew the minute I met him that he was the one. Your story about Bill touched me. Me and my husband divorced and lived apart for a year because he was on a downward spiral and I couldnt help him. We had a few rocky years but we always fought for our relationship. We remarried and have been inseparable since. Some bonds just can't be broken..like yours with Bill.

I so enjoy seeing the water, gazebo and of course Des. First time proud, what comes to mind is high school, I wrote and got signatures to remove a toxic teacher that I learned had an even worst past at her previous assignment. I’ve always been a fighter. I married my first love and we’re still crazy about each other. We’ve grown up together and at 65, it’s hard to remember time before we got together. I loved your concert story. When I was little, I went to the symphony orchestra in San Diego California and loved it. See you next week if you upload, it’s Easter weekend.

@shawneeb3771 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing some of the most important times in your life. It brought back so many good memories to me of my life. My favorite memory of a music event was Woodstock 1969 of course. It was like all the pictures you have seen and more. It was a memorable and crazy time for sure. The memory I have of that time was I went to the event in a skirt and tank top and came home wearing mens jeans and a t-shirt. It set off years of wondering if I had his pants and shirt was he wearing my skirt and tank top? Oh well, it remains an unsolved mystery in my life, one of many. Take care and stay safe.

@patriciaatkinson4500 2 года назад

Great Topic, and thanks for keeping it light. This week has been tough on several levels! First I just have to say something...I say this alot. "OUR generation had the Best music!!"🎸🎶👍That music got me through sooooo much. FIRSTS...CAR= Blue Plymouth Valient First feeling of pride as a child= In Ballet school, always knowing and demonstrating the techniques we did in review. I think I was 7. It was a new school, The Drexel Hill Conservatory of Music. I spent all of 1st grade 40 + weeks reading the library book " Fun with Ballet". At 12 I taught the Beginners class and at 16 I was given an award for " Most Invaluable". I was a really good choreographer, an average dancer, and did not have the body to be a ballerina. That was my 1st teaching job. My last was working at a college teaching Research Methods & PR & Business Plan Development and CommunicationTheory. My 1st job was better! Wrapping up the Firsts: I flew to Italy on my first plane trip, M6 first Love was a Boy named Paul in 9th grade. He was a Senior and I got to go to the Senior Prom! My first time was with my soon to be 1st husband, who I dont speak to, nor do I speak to my 1st Best friend. C'est la vie!. 💗

I had a crush in 1st grade on a boy named Gary. He used to walk to school with me and my mother. One day he asked my mom if he and I could go into the candy store and she said yes. He put some money in a bubble gum machine and a gold plastic ring came out. He put it on my finger and said we were going steady. I remember looking across our classroom and we’d smile at each other all day. He moved away unexpectedly but I still have the ring.

Thank you for sharing the story of Ron and your first son. When you started telling the story I wasn’t quite sure what you were about to say and then when you said you gave up your baby, it was like a bucket of cold water was poured over my head it gave me the chills. I am so glad that you and your son got to meet up, but it broke heart to hear that Ron died of pneumonia. I so look forward to seeing you each week thank you. I did love Desi’s video. My first love died of leukemia, I love that man. And my first car was an Oldsmobile cutlass supreme brand new candy apple red with a half vinyl roof white interior it was beautiful I kept it and gave it to my oldest daughter, that Car was so faithful it drove her home into the driveway and then died never to be driven again. It was over 16 yrs old. Thank you for bringing up good memories this morning you have a blessed week.

@sylviamiddleton8154 2 года назад

You’re so precious! Desi is too! Your story was so touching! It struck me in my heart.❤️ I am living with my high school sweetheart and we’re not married. We’re both divorced and are now living as landlord and boarder that are friends. We both really didn’t know each other before getting together and we’re so different. I think I was in love with the young man and the grown man wasn’t what I expected. I’m kind and loving to him as he has cancer now and on Chemotherapy for the rest of his life. We’re here on this earth to care for one another and share God’s love, mercy, and grace with each other. So this is my life until it isn’t. It’s not ideal but I’ve gotten myself into this and now I have to carry it forward. I’m grateful to my Heavenly Father for my home and all His many blessings. I’m not in love but I’m okay with that. My life isn’t what I expected it would be but that’s on me. I’m learning lessons the hard way and it’s about time! At 75 I don’t have much time left to get it right.

@janicelong1739 2 года назад

Sylvia, at 72 I can totally relate. About to make that caretaker decision with an old friend also. No romance, just an agreement to be there for each other until one of us isn’t. Nothing has been like I thought my life would be like. It is what it is.

@pollymorriss3001 2 года назад

My most favorite visit. I enjoyed it so very much.loved my visit with Desi this week too.thank you for sharing him with us. That being said: 1st teacher Ms Martin,first car 1969 Chevy impala, first concert The Carpenter's and Richard sang to me and kinda sat in my lap. First friend Edna our dad's work at USAir Force base together. We keep in touch via FB. First love and kiss was Dennis followed each other for years but lost contact.i was about 14 and we traveled to a church in Dallas Texas where I stepped up to sing looked out and my big sister and family were there to here me sing. First time and that became her favorite gospel song til her death 30 yrs later. You are absolutely just the most wonderful woman ever. Thank you for your weekly visit Have a very safe and blessed week. See you both next time. XOXO

So good to see you, Susan. I enjoyed Desi’s video, and the zen Desi with the tie. I don’t remember my first kiss, but a proud moment was when our dog Princess had just 1 puppy. The vet did a cesarean and Princess was so doped up she could not take care her puppy right away. I took care of the puppy overnight, keeping him under a light for heat and feeding him every 2 hours with formula the vet made up. I am so glad you found your son, and I am so sorry Ron did not get to meet him. You and Desi take care.
