Melanie Davis:  

What happened to Melanie after High School? Well, pretty much straight to the school of hard knocks - despite all the pleading of my mom, I chose motherhood over college and gave birth to a lovely daughter (Harmony Grace) on September 19, 1975. I married her father and kept him around long enough to have another gorgeous daughter (Sarah Ruth - 4/20/77), but that was all I could stand of that particular man. Did the single mom routine for a few years and eventually hooked up with a local musician some of you have had the pleasure of jamming with - David Mathews. We spent 4 years together before he hit the road, leaving me with the wonderful parting gift of a son (Jesse Alexander 10/7/82).

I am most successful at providing care and support (read TLC) to the elderly and developmentally disabled - assisting them with living their lives to the very fullest. Doesn't pay much, but you sure can sleep well at night. So far, only one of my kids (Sarah) has blessed me with grandchildren, but what a job she has done! Three stunningly beautiful little girls!!! Kayla Pearl(my redhead) is 13, not that I like to admit that often. Wears a nose ring, loves "Twilight" and is a bookworm like her grandma. MaraJade is 6 years old and could be the poster child for autism with her blonde hair and huge blue eyes. My fears for her future become l...Expand for more
