My trying to sum up 45 years in a few paragraphs seems difficult and I am sure I will edit and re-edit this page often.
- I was born in 1971. I’m an only child. (4 step-brothers now)
- My Daddy passed away at 38 from a massive heart attack. I was 16.
- I graduated from the University of MS in 1993 with a degree in education. I earned my Master’s degree in special education in 1996.
- I married (for the first time) in 1994 and had my first child and only son that year.
- In 1995, I moved to CA with my Mom and son. You can not divorce while pregnant in MS, so I would have to wait. In 1996, I had my second child, a daughter, moved back to MS, and got a divorce. We had lasted only 2 years and now had 2 children.
- In 2000, I remarried my first husband, but it was short lived and by that fall, we divorced again. People don’t change!
- In 2004, I met who would become my second husband. We were married in 2007 and I had my third child, a daughter, the next year. 3 short years later we would divorce.
- On October 31, 2013 I welcomed a beautiful granddaughter into this world. She is a blessing from God.
- Tragically, my second husband passed away from a heart attack in 2014. He was only41 and our daughter was only 5.
- For now, I block out 2013-2014. I made horrible mistakes and feel I will pay for them for a long time. Maybe someday I can address those here.
- My second daughter, Dallas, passed away July 17, 2016. That event is truly what has led me to writing this blog.
- WHAT does the future hold? That’s anyone’s guess. I hope to be able to add many more good memories to this list someday.
