Michelle's Story
Life
My Bio....lived most of my school years near Mankato..married at 21 to my soul partner...was in life with him until his death for 32 years. David crossed over Nov. 26, 2004 from complications of a rare disease called Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. I miss him dearly but know he is in a better place and healthy. From our union we were given four childern. Two boys now young men who are currently serving in the US Navy. They serve each coast. Both are career men. We also had two girls. One is married and is a Architec at a firm in the cities. The youngest is slowly growing up a living on her own. There are four granchildren in my life.
My life has changed over the past year due to the fact of my husbands illness. I have learned many things and have found out that my needs and wants in this life have changed...for the better. I am now working with the Hospice program that hosted my husband and also volunteer my time at the nursing home that he lived in for eleven months.I have also beco...Expand for more
me a member of the American Red Cross and had the opportunity to spend almost a month in the hard hit area around New Orleans!
From this experence....my love of drawing has come back to me and I'm exploring the opportunties that comes with it. Oh...did I also mention...I have written a story pertaining to our ordeal of the last six years of my husbands life.It is strange what comes out of the mind and soul when you have been pushed to the max. Hospice uses it in their training of new hospice volunteers. I also found my faith! Praise God!!
Finally and with great anticipation, I will be attending Rasussen College January 2008, I will be chasing down a degree in Massage Therapy! This is a totally differnt goal than what I had when I was in my twenties.Whew... how life experiences changes one thinking!!
I'm pushing on to a new life with new goals; it's been tough some days and the Bio will probably never get finished. But for some unknown reason I know there is a ride of mystery ahead.
