I r i s s 4 m e l a t a o l. Im here and there...
My husband, John and I have been married for 31 years this month (Aug. 2010) .
We have 2 daughters, both are gorgeous, smart and successful. My oldest is 31, and is happy in a committed relationship, and is the mother of my beautiful 10 year old grand daughter whom I adore.
My youngest is 30, is married going on 9 yrs which has given me an 12 year old step grandson whom I just want to hug all the time, and also my 8 year old grandson whom I must see at least once a day or I have a fit, I just love them all so much.
John and I are in Fresno and live in the same house I grew up in, which in itself is a trip.

Check it out, and if you know of anyone who has passed away, please share. You know we all ask that question at least once, *I wonder whatever happened to this person or that person* And unfotunately some come to find the answer on this page. It allows closure for many, and makes it possible to share a memory, or share a message to the family of the student.
I would like to think that ALL my experiences and ALL the people that have been in my life whether for a long time or for a moment, have led me here and will help get me through whatever my future may bring...
