Pamela's Story
Life
IN SCHOOL I WAS VERY SHY AND SKINNY. NOT VERY CUTE, WITH VERY LONG DARK BROWN HAIR. SOME THINGS HAVE CHANGED A LITTLE, AND SOME A LOT. FOR INSTANCE, I NOW HAVE SHOULDER LENGTH AUBURN HAIR. PUT ON A FEW POUNDS, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, I'M ANYTHING BUT SHY! I'VE BEEN MARRIED FOR 36 YEARS,TO A MECHANICAL ENGINEER. WE HAVE 2 SONS. A 34 YR.OLD AND A 22 YR OLD. TODAY I AM A FIREFIGHTER/EMT. I AM VERY HAPPY WITH THE CHOICES I'VE MADE IN MY LIFE. HOW ABOUT YOU?
UPDATE;
I INJURED MY SHOULDER (TORN ROTATOR CUFF & DISLOCATION) SO I WAS PUT ON MEDICAL LEAVE. I CAME BACK TO BAMA & HAD SURGERY, UNFORTUNATELY, WHILE RECOVERING I FELL & THREW OUT THE SAME ARM TO BREAK MY FALL. NOT ONLY DID I RE-TEAR MY ROTATOR CUFF, I ALSO TORE THE BICEP FROM THE SAME SHOULDER! ANYWAY, DIFFERENT SUBJECT. SOME YEARS BACK I CONVERTED TO ISLAM. I'M VERY HAPPY TO BE A MUSLIM. SOMETIMES SOME PEOPLE MAKE IT A LITTLE DIFFICULT BUT THAT'S THEIR PROBLEM NOT MINE.
I NOW HAVE TWO BEAUTIFUL GRANDSONS, SOLOMON, 5 & JONAH, 18 MOS. THEY ARE THE GREATEST GIFTS!
MY FIRST GRANDSON WAS BORN JANUARY 2008, HE CAME AT A TIME THAT I DESPERATELY NEEDED SOMETHING TO LIFT ME UP.
I'M SURE EVERYONE REMEMBERS MY SISTER MAJESTA, (her husband Ricky & my baby sister, Danielle or DD are here in the pic with me. It's from Christmas 2012)SHE WAS A GRADE UNDER ME, TO OUR HORROR SHE PASSED AWAY SUDDENLY DECEMBER 2007. THERE ISN'T A DAY THAT GOES BY I DON'T THINK ABOUT HER AND MISS OUR TALKS. MY LIFE...Expand for more
WILL NEVER BE THE SAME WITHOUT HER. I NEVER DREAMED SHE'D GO BEFORE ME. SHE WAS SO EXCITED ABOUT ME BECOMING A GRANDMA (NANA) SHE WAS ALREADY A GRANDMA 4 TIMES OVER! SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN SO HAPPY FOR ME. SHE WILL FOREVER BE MISSED BY EVERYONE THAT KNEW HER. R.I.P. SISTER. HOPEFULLY I WILL BE ABLE TO COME TO THE NEXT REUNION. I THINK IT WILL BE FUN TO SEE JUST HOW MUCH WE'VE ALL CHANGED! ON SECOND THOUGHT, I WAS INVISIBLE IN SCHOOL SO IT REALLY MAKES NO SENSE TO GO TO THE REUNION. I WENT TO CALHOUN &THE GUY SITTIN BEHIND ME KEPT ASKIN ME OUT. FINALLY ONE DAY I TURNED AROUND & SAID " YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHO I AM, DO YOU?" HE DIDN'T. I SAID "YOUR LOCKER WAS NEXT TO MINE & YOU NEVER SPOKE TO ME, EVER!" HE SAID HE DIDN'T REMEMBER. I SAID OF COURSE NOT, BECAUSE YOUR NOSE WAS ALWAYS STUCK UP IN THE AIR YOU COULDN'T SEE ME. I WASN'T PART OF YOUR "CLICK"! HE APOLIGIZED & SAID HE NEVER REALIZED HE WAS DOIN THAT. I TOLD HIM IT WAS OK, BUT I WAS HAPPILY MARRIED SO I COULDN'T GO OUT WITH HIM. WE HELPED EACH OTHER OUT IN CLASS. HE WAS A NICE GUY ONCE HE GOT AWAY FROM HIS "click". ANYWAY, THAT'S PRETTY MUCH IT. I FORGOT TO SAY, MY OLDEST SON IS A VERY SUCCESSFUL ENGINEER LIKE HIS DAD. HE TRAVELS TO MANY COUNTRIES FOR WORK. MY YOUNGEST IS ABOUT TO GRADUATE FROM PRE-MED. HE PLANS ON BECOMING A CARDIO. THORASIC (spelling?) SURGEON. I'M SO PROUD OF BOTH OF THEM. OUR WHOLE FAMILY HAS BEEN VERY BLESSED. I WISH ALL OF YOU THE BEST IN YOUR LIVES. TAKE CARE & STAY SAFE. :-)
