Shelly's Story

Life I'm divorced (2x) and have 3 daughters biologically-25, 20 and 17. But I have 2 more that I am their mom by heart and love, 19 & 17 and have been their mom for years now and will always be. I still love to read, still go nowhere without a book in my purse, some things never change in that regard. I sometimes still write poetry and maybe someday I'll write that novel that I wanted to in high school. I still believe in fairy tales and happily ever after and according to my kids I still haven't grown up cuz I still listen to my "oldies" music, which I prefer over that stuff my kids listen to any day. I'm still the same girl that went to Twin Valley, just a little older. I'd like to think a little bit smarter, just thankful that I don't have to take the classes my kids are taking, I'd never make it to go back to school now and I still can't do algebra! I still love history and going to antique shows and flea markets and still am most comfortable in blue jeans and a t-shirt. My oldest works full time and I have 2 that are going to college, one will graduate high school this year and my "baby" will graduate from Pequea Valley next year. I can't believe that they're almost all grown up and I'm facing an empty nest. BUt then I realize that we're been out of school for close to 30 years, whe...Expand for more
re did the time go? Things didn't got the way I thought they would after graduation, but then again, I don't think anybody's really does. I got married 2x and both times they ended badly, one from abuse to me and the other abused my kids. I feel like I've been through a nightmare and come back from it. I wouldn't want to wish my life on anybody. I think back on my life and wish that I had done things differently but it doesn't happen that way so I just try to make the best of it. I have a spinal cord tumor that causes me a lot of pain and makes it difficult to walk sometimes and has caused numbness from the waist down, so it makes my life interesting. I can't do alot of things that I used to do but I just work around it and do different things that I didn't think of before. But for the best news, I got engaged on Christmas Day to a very special guy that loves me and accepts my kids as his own. He knows what I'm facing and deals with it and makes sure that I'm okay every day and takes great care of me and I'm very happy and we're planning a wedding for June 2009. He has 4 children of his own so with my 5 that makes a whole housefull, I always wanted alot of kids, now I do! I finally found my prince, he's from Lousiana and his name is Marc. Can't wait to bring him to the next reunion!
