Karen's Story

Let's see....I was married for 20 years, raised 5 children and then got a divorce....three years later I met and married Charlie, an Aussie, and Elisabeth, my youngest daughter and I moved to Australia...We've been here 10 years and LOVE it...of course, I miss my family back in the States, but we've managed to fly home 6 times and are planning a 7th visit in August. Jason, my oldest, 37 is married and has three children, and lives in Syracuse, N.Y...and Matthew 27, my youngest son and his wife, Jackie, had a baby girl, Mattie Lynn, Dec 2009. Jessica, 33, my oldest daughter is in Health Care and lives in northern Michigan, in the same town Matt and Jackie live in. Sadly, we lost my middle son, Devin, in a car accident in August 2000, he was 21. That's something that has changed my life forever and takes years to learn to live with....but you can't crawl up into a ball and die when you really feel like ...Expand for more
you want to, so life goes on..and life is still good. My youngest daughter, Elisabeth "Lissi", is 25 now and lives here in Oz. She is a Vet Nurse working for a local practice. I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis six years ago and that has put a damper on how fast I get around, but I am still walking and thankful for that. Oh yeah, the love of my life...my husband, Charlie...he works for QANTAS as an Airline Maintenance Engineer...and with the great benefits, such as 4 weeks vacation each year and discount prices on tickets, we are able to travel quite a bit.(After 10 years of working at the same place most Aussies get what's called a "Long Service Leave" which is 3 months paid vacation!!!) Wake up America! Next year we plan on going to Malta and Italy. Charlie is Maltese and has a sister there. I guess I could go on forever...I like to write, but I'll stop now..hope to hear from some old friends...
