I am here for Friends

About Me

To treasure the gift I have been given and live each moment as if it were my last here on Earth. Our Time here is just a blink of an eye, so it is important to treat others with compassion, love, and empathy. In doing so, when I come to the end of this journey, may I have made a difference in others lives. "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith."

Please help James and his Daddy make his wish come true!

My Interests

Union College Service World. Volunteering and working with children; in educational settings and with seriously ill children-Child Life Work. Historic Preservation. READING ! READING !

I'd like to meet:

To meet God face to face and see all those who have gone before me; for when that day comes I will no longer "see through the glass darkly", but instead my heart shall see and understand. There are many people who would be very interesting to meet, but in the grand scheme of life, we are all just human beings, but to each of us, there are those who have made a difference to us as individuals. One day for those I have not met, I will have that chance.
