Betty's Story
May, 2015
I am still living at the same place in Cary, N. C. Enjoying retirement and traveling some. Can't believe I am another year into my 70's this month. Doesn't seem possible.
My daughter, Alissa, is still at SAS Institute since the 80's and my son, Wayne, is still with the Town of Holly Springs since the 90's and he is also a Baptist Minister in Durham, NC. Both children are married,
Alissa to John Wayne to Kelli John is retired and Kelli works for the State with Social Services.
2012 was a sad year with the death of Vaughn Wilhelm, the father of my children.
I have 4 biological grandchildren (Eric Kristen, Jordan, Justin). I have had one instant great grandson (Tim) for a long time. He is a teenager now. He will graduate from high school at the end of this school year, 2015. His Dad (Andy) became my first instant Grandson in 1989 at the age of 8.. The second instant grandchild (Nikki) came to our family in 1993 at the age of 5. And she is now grown and has two of my great granddaughters. One daughter that is in elementary school and a new sister in 2014.. Eric gave me a great granddaughter that will be 2 in December, 2015.

It is so much fun to watch the...Expand for more
m raising their children. Only for me, not for the parents. The instant grandchildren are just as special as biological grandchildren. We all love each other just the same way. There is no difference.
My oldest grandson,{ Eric) graduated last school year (2014) from ECU. Can't believe they are starting to leave the nest. Eric also gave me a great granddaughter the end of last year(2013)..
My granddaughter (Kristen) graduates this year (2015) at UNC-G. .
.My Job and updates..2015.... In 2013 I left the work force. I have found out Uncle Sam will give me enough money to do most of the things I want to during a year.. I, also, found out I love not working full time... It is ok not working 5 days a week and it is enjoyable being by myself without work. Being free for Grandchildren and Great grandchildren and I have done some traveling with girlfriends.. .
Grandson, Jordan, will be out of Wake Technical College the end of this year (2015) and may be going on to a 4 year college after finishing Tech. College.
Grandson, Justin will be finishing up his junior year at high school and going to be a senior 2015-16 school year.
