I was fortunate enough to have Scott in my life for a few years . I would like to share with you something he did for me that touched my heart and soul and will never be forgotten. early on in our relationship Scott asked me " What kind of music do you like, who are your favorite bands/ musicians and If you could pick any song, any song at all for me to pay for you, what would it be? I looked at him as if he had ten heads "since when do you play music? his replay ( I will never forget until the day I die ) " I don't, but I can learn.
in my mind I thought "Yeah right" so I told him "One of my favorite songs is my Metallica"(I am sooo not a metal head) at the time Metallica recorded a very slow amazing song titled "Nothing else matters" if you've never heard the lyrics to that particular song, please you tube it. It will remind you of Scott! fast forward to one year gone bye. one night we were all sitting at the dinner table . As we finished dinner Scott got up and went into the music room ( ok so it was a computer office place but for Scott it was where he did his thing) I am washing the dinner dishes ( Of course I am lol) and I hear this acoustic guitar playing "Nothing else matters " I'm thinking its on the TV but then I realized it was coming from the "Music / office / computer room" all of a sudden this wonderful voice (Still thinking maybe just maybe its on TV) starts to sing "NOTHING ELSE MATTERS" you see, Scott had been practicing that song for me for an entire year without my knowledge . he was good at keeping secrets ( Only good ones :) )He played and sang that song like he had been studying music forever. however ,Scott could not read sheet music. He never looked at notes or practiced them, I asked him" How the hell can you play and sing music like this with out being able to read sheet music or notes " His replay was "I feel it in my soul and hear it with my ears" ???? What, what? he truly had the passion for music and the love for the art! he had talent and passion for it. It is one of most fondest memories . I wish today that I didn't stop remember that . I wish today that I could tell him that. Instead I sit here typing to you "His loved ones " He never had an enemy and shrugged hard times off his shoulders and he Never let us see him Sweat ! He was without a doubt my greatest love . For Scott Docteroff never judged me , he truly accepted me Because of my quirks Not in spite of them. if I could go back in time...well I can't but he knows how I feel.
I have soo much more to say ... until Scott ! xxxxxxxxxxxoooooo
