This is me when I was 5 years old.
Now I'm
currently 48 and looking forward to experiencing more of life's adventures every day!
My life
so far has been really good. I grew up with the hand of God watching over and giving me the ability
to love people. I'm excited to share my creative ideas and stories with you and hopefully you will be entertained by
them and come to know me a little more.
When I was a little girl, I knew I was loved by my parents. They made such a fuss over me since they had three
boys already and their baby was 13 years old. Then I came along. My father was better financially and the "times"
were a little better. I feel fortunate to have been raised by very real parents who were what I called "down home country
folks". They were not rich, the were not poor, they were middle class but treated others fairly. I'm glad my parents
taught me how to be a kind-hearted and loving person. They provided lots of love for me and taught me how to respect
my elders. I was spoiled--no doubt about it but I was not a brat.

This is the where I grew
up from 1962 to 1974. As the youngest girl out of three older brothers, I was very close to my parents. I
have many wonderful memories growing up on Walnut Street. Leaving my parents to move to Canada was the hardest thing I had to do until I came back one last time and helped them make their eternal journey.
I remember the day my mother
died. She told me how happy she was for me to have finally found a "good" man in Brian. She told me she knew he
would really love me and take good care of me. She could rest knowing that. My father never said much on the other
hand, however, he was at peace knowing that his little girl was truly happy. He died six months after my mother and
could not stand to live without her. They really did love each other in their own way. What a legacy to
leave behind.

Dedicated to
Mom & Dad
"Thank you for loving me
with all of your heart and showing me what love is. You taught me how to be a genuine, caring person
with good morals and a love for others. Thank you helping me become the person I am now. I miss you so much
but I know I'll see you again in heaven on that glorious day."
