Edith's Story
Who am I? To be honest, I am amazed at how many people actually remember me from High School. I was not popular, nor attractive, nor real smart, nor anything for that matter. So, I feel very honored that there are people that do. My life was not an easy one at all. Some of you may remember that I didn't get to finish there at A.I. as my mother put me in State's Custody at the age of 14 and some change. My life as I knew it, was over....and embarked on what I like to call, the life that made me who I am...
Let's see...honestly??? There are some things that are not particularly happy, like the time I was raped at the age of 16, but because I was on runaway, never did anything about it. Legal wise, or psychological wise. I thank the Good Lord tha...Expand for more
t I was able to put that behind me and get on with my life. I have faced death at least 5 times at this point, and feel incredibly lucky that God was on (and still is for that matter) my side.
There are lots of things I could put here, but damn....what point would it make? That I had a harder life than most teenagers??? Not so sure, although the counsler told me how incredible I was to get over all that crap and be the positive, happy, good hearted person that I have become. So, for now, I am going to leave it like that. Sure, there are many things I have done and places I have gone in my life. The most important things to me now are my sons, and my grandson. I am really looking forward to this reunion. Hope to see all of you there. God Bless
