Moving forward after loss…

Submitted by Dee Gee Vickers, founder of Angels of the Heart Like most retired couples, my husband and I had many plans for enjoying our future of leisure. One night, however, after settling into our chairs to watch an episode of Game of Thrones, my husband suffered cardiac arrest, and my life was shattered instantly. I hardly had thought about what it would be like to be a widow. Tom and I had been married since I was 18, and I never knew a life without him. I was now faced with an uncertain future and overwhelmed with shock, grief, fear, confusion, and loneliness.

I leaned hard on my children and began to overtax them with my neediness and depression.

One day I woke up and, after having a long hard talk with myself in the mirror, decided that my happiness is not my children’s responsibility. The cold truth was that I had a new life and new reality, like it or not, and I needed to find myself again and a way to move forward.

I wondered if other widows were struggling like I was and decided to find a widow’s group. I couldn’t find a group in Cypress to fit my needs, so I decided to start my own. We only had four widows for about a year, but the connection between us was magical for me.

Sharing our stories and supporting one another and social interactions was the lift I needed to heal. That was four years ago. We now have 49 widows and one widower (who desperately would like other widowers to join).

I have met, and come to know, some of the most amazing people in my life through our group. Their courage, strength, and positivity have inspired me and many others. I call us “Angels of the Heart” because they are angels.

I’m pleased to say that my life is full and abundant now, and I look forward to each day with joy! I hope that if any new widows or widowers read this, they will see that there is hope for a happy future. Connecting to others socially and having our peer support and experience to draw on is a great way to start.

MAY – JUBA

www.thespicolis.com @jubanormand In 2021, this guy named JUBA hit the stages of Cypress, TX. I’m here to tell you all about him! JUBA is a native of Marksville, Louisiana, and a graduate of LSU-Alexandria, but he relocated to Texas in 2021 for love. JUBA first took the stage at THE THIRSTY TEXAN (Louetta Rd.) in early 2021. Since then, JUBA has become one of the most recognized names amongst local artists. You can find JUBA performing pop, country, blues, soul, and almost everything in-between as a solo acoustic artist. Alternatively, you can find him as the lead frontman for THE SPICOLIS – the “MTV party era” variety cover band!

He’s performed all over town at places like THE HIDDEN CELLAR (House Hahl Rd.), MACS (Telge Rd), WILDCATTER SALOON, and SPORTIN’ WOODY’S (N. Eldridge), and most recently, at THE BURGER

RANCH (House Hahl Rd) for the CYPRESS MUSIC SCENE March SPOTLIGHT show! But don’t let all the live music action fool you! By day, JUBA works as a CT/ XRAY/MRI technician in the medical industry! He’s a father/stepfather to 4 and a gentle soul who is a friend to many – including myself. He’s cool and kind off-stage, and on-stage he spares no one when it comes to audience participation! He’s got positive energy that radiates behind the mic, but most of all, he’s humble. No matter what, he is always there for those who need him. Family, friends, and fans alike. He’s won the hearts of many, and once you see him live, he will win yours too.

THE TIMES Soft Opening at Cypress’ most unique neighborhood watering hole Comments like, “’The place looks amazing!’ ‘Great food and service!’

‘I felt welcomed the minute I walked in,’ and, ‘Great neighborhood place to be.’” were bantered about during Andy’s exclusive Two-Day Soft Opening at Andy’s Bar and Grill on April 3rd and 4th—giving credence to the fact that folks would come from far and wide to enjoy the coolest, most unique watering hole in Cypress.

PBR Music Cypress entertained the crowd both nights as shift after shift, the staff filled and refilled the restaurant’s 100 seats. When it was all said and done, close to 600 diners put the entire team to the test over the two days, making sure Opening Day went off without a hitch.

Soft Openings are meant to stress-test an establishment’s processes from the front of the house (wait staff) to the back of the house (kitchen), the bar, point of sale communications, and all points in between. This helps restaurants gauge their readiness and adjust as necessary before they Grand Open to the masses. As it turned out, Andy’s Bar & Grill was about as flawless as they go.
