tion of helping take care of my mother and father (80 & 83 doing rather well) and my 8 grandchildren. Tyler, 13 lives with Ray and I. Mariah, the baby is the apple of my eye as were each of them as they came along.
We moved into a home with a swimming pool which the children love.
We still attend Paul's Union Church and believe the Lord lights our path.
I try to help those I can in any way God leads me as I continue to stay at home.
Ray and I are just now starting to talk about retirement so only God knows where our lives will lead from here.
Adding to my story via the wizard,
After we raised our 4 children I told God thank you for my children but I never want to raise another child! That is the hardest job I have ever done! God then brought Gina back home pregnant with her third and we raised the three children for 9 years. Two now live with her.
My dream home is now to be a 2 bedroom home with a large living area just for Ray and I.
I have learned from my children that I can do the best I can do, but I cannot always solve their problems.
I would love to see Budha again because he was always upbeat, but I know I will not see him again in this life.
If I won $100 million, I would spend it on those in need. I have been blessed with all I need.
No one really knows who my first crush was and I don't have an idea of where he is or what he is doing.
