About

I am, at 67, on the most amazing and thrilling journey of my life. I have always dreamed of being an author, but I was busy raising a family and tending their needs.  I suffered a setback in 1995 via an anuerysim, but as it turns out, it was the best thing that ever happened to me.  I learned who my children really were, how strong they are and how much they love me as well as I them.  I have had an opportunity to also get to know my grandchildren and watch them grow and mature; all 12 of them of various ages.
 
I wrote this book as a legacy to tell them of my life, my feelings and expectations.  They are my reason for living.  They are the reason I do everything I do.  If I had a million dollars, I wouldn't feel any better than I feel now knowing my children love and respect me.

I have finally had my dream come true.  Through my friends and their encouragement I am now working on my second book.  I am on Classmates and the people in there have supported me, urged me on, been understanding and inspirational.  They let me know every day how much they love me and I am blessed beyond imagination.
