WELL, AS YOU CAN SEE, I AM A MIDDLE AGED RED HEAD. I MARRIED RIGHT AFTER HIGH SCHOOL AND WAS MARRIED FOR 22 YEARS UNTIL MY HUSBAND LOST HIS LIFE TO CANCER. I AM HOWEVER, HAPPILY MARRIED AGAIN AND IT IS TO MY CHILDHOOD SWEETHEART. WE BOTH MOVED FROM OHIO, WHERE I HAVE LIVED ALL MY LIFE, TO KENTUCKY. I HAVE WORKED FOR 22 YEARS MOSTLY IN THE MEDICAL FIELD ONE WAY OR ANOTHER AND LOVED IT. I WORKED WITH ADMINISTRATION IN A NURSING HOME FOR 15 YEARS WHERE I MET SOME OF THE MOST INTERESTING PEOPLE. YOU CAN LEARN SO MUCH FROM OLD PEOPLE.
UNFORTUNATELY, I HAVE GONE THROUGH FOUR MAJOR BACK SURGERIES, AND AM NOW UNABLE TO WORK. I'VE BEEN ASKED BY MY MOM AND OTHERS HOW CAN I STAY SO POSITIVE MOST OF THE TIME WITH ALL THE HEARTACHE I HAVE ENDURED IN MY OWN LIFE. WELL, THE WAY I LOOK AT IT, THERE ARE ALWAYS PEOPLE OUT THERE WORSE OFF THAN ME AND IT CAN ALWAYS BE WORSE. AT LEAST I AM NOT BLIND, DEAF, ETC. I AM JUST ALWAYS THANKFUL FOR WHAT AND WHO I HAVE IN MY LIFE AT THE PRESENT TIME. LIVE FOR TODAY, NOT FOR TOMORROW AND LIVE LIKE YOUR DYING AS TIM MCGRAW SAYS.
I ALSO HAVE A WONDERFUL AND VERY HANDSOME SON WHO LOOKS JUST LIKE HIS DAD, NAMED MICHAEL, WHO IS 22 YEARS OLD NOW. HE AND HIS BEAUTIFUL FIANCE, KARA STILL LIVE IN OHIO AND COME TO VISIT US WHEN THEY CAN. WE LIVE ON BEAUTIFUL LAKE BARKELY, SO WHEN THEY ARE ABLE TO VISIT WE USUALLY GO ON BOAT RIDES, WEATHER PERMITTING. I WISH THEY COULD VISIT MORE OFTEN.WHAT ABOUT YOU?
