We would like for you to learn a little about us,
and how Sugarland came to be.
My husband was my first love back in 1969. As teens, we planned out our future drawing out plans for our farm and dog kennel that we planned to have someday. We planned it right down to the J/S insignia that would hang over our front entrance of J/S Ranch. As we grew older, he was drafted. Although we always maintained contact, we both married others. He was always my moms pick for a son in law. Since we grew up several houses apart, it was always accepted by everyone when he came to any of our family "get togethers". Our spouses always knew we had this closeness that nobody could penetrate. Our bond was just accepted by all. That's the way it was. About 12 years ago, I told him that I would not marry the wrong man again,that I had purchased 2 rocking chairs, and I would sit them on my porch and wait for him to come"home". I guess I always knew God had meant me to be with him. 5 years ago, my mom was in the hospital on her death bed. I had stayed with her for a month in there. I left the hospital one time,to attend a family funeral. Guess who I saw?Yep! I fussed at him for not being there for me and my mom.Know what? He had no idea she was sick. Why? Because my mom was always the one to call him so that he was always at all the family gatherings. Guess she always hoped something would trigger for us to get together! He never left my side from that day on. My mom was fighting to stay alive. She told the nurses that she refused to die because she couldn't leave her little girl all alone in this world. My husband and I went in and told her that we would finally marry and that he would always be here to take care of me and love me. If you knew my husband, you'd know his word is gospel! My mom seemed so happy. She died shortly after. We married, and have spent these last 5 years fufulfilling our dreams from our youth. We have J/S Rocking Chair Ranch, with the insignia hanging in the entrance. (Only now, it has a smiley face on the bottom of it for the rocking chairs- we're getting old now!). We now sit on our front porch rocking together. I give this information just in case there might be that 1 person out there that thinks they only get one shot at happiness. We are living proof that people can get a second chance at happiness!
May God Bless,
Jerry and Sherry
