Mary's Story
Life
We have two boys, our girl died after she was born & now a girl that's like a daughter and her family. So, we still have seven grandchildren, but as of the end of 2007 we now have a total of five great-granddaughters, two great-grandson. Our family just gets bigger & bigger.
In September 2005 our oldest son's wife died at the age of thirty-six at their home after spending almost seven months of the year in the hospital. We've all had our ups and downs over the years but we seem to always manage to pull through with the support of family & friends.
I had to take early retirement in 2003. I'm also keep busy doing embroidery on my Embroidery Sewing Machine my husband bought me last year. I'm in the process of making an embroideried compass star quilt & I babysit two of my great-granddaughters some of the time. My husband retired in March, so I have him home 24/7 now. Life is great!
I had another great-granddaughter born October 2010 just before my husband's B-Day. What a great gift! In November 2010, my suddenly past away. We had started remodeling our home just before it happened so I've been working since then to get the work done soon. It's been hard to get through this year without Vic, but my boys, my brother-in-law have been a big help. Update: Sept. 1, 2014, Just had #13 Great-Grandbaby on 8/26/14 and #14 due in Oct. 2014. My oldest son is getting married next year, I'm so happy for him. Things are good with my family & I.

e that was sitting my spinal cord causing lose of feeling in my legs. Surgery went great, no more pain, everything is healed I'm doing good, just another bump in the road of life. Update: Great-grandson was born day before Halloween, he's 2yrs. now. Well in 2015 I was a passenger in a bad car accident, had a head injury, spend a month in the learning to walk using my right leg again. While in the hospital my oldest son got married again & his wife has 3 grown kids. I got to see the wedding on Skype in the hospital. In April 2016, I had to have surgery on the back of my head & neck stemming from the accident, in August a lady rear ended me in Derby, but as you saw in October I'm doing okay. In June my son Corey took my foster daughter, her family, his son & me to Disney World in Florida. He rented a van and drove there. We stayed at a Disney resort. We had a wonderful time there. Then in July, my oldest son Matt & I went on a hunting/safari in Namibia. We also, stayed at Matt's friend's beautiful place in Namibia on 16000 acres that has been in his family for over a hundred years. Matt & I had a great time spending time together & I enjoyed getting to know his friend and hie family. I surprised myself with some of the animals I was able to shot for the 1st time their when Matt's been their 4 times & woundup shooting more animals than Matt. The meat helped feed the elderly people in the native villages in the area & we got eat some ourselves. It all tasted very good. My son was very proud that I did as good as I did & we had a great adventure together.
