Adell Perry (Clark):  

Life I am 12 years separated from my husband - who has given me the most precious gifts of my life - my three sons: 1) Roger, Jr. (23 years old); 2) Emmanuel "Manny" (22 years old); and 3) Matthew (20 years old). Three men who are and will remain "my strength" - "my rock" and "my foundation" - only the Good Lord means more, as He is my "salvation." In all that I've been through, the "one thing" that has been consistent is "God" - even when I didn't have the sense to know better - He was that "nudge" in my back. I have to give praise where praise is due, as I am in a better place now (mentally) than I was during those times. I am fifteen years employed by the Department of Social Services and ten years with Children Services of Roxbury. I graduated from Chamberlayne with a degree in Fashion Retail Merchandising/Management - but soon afterwards lost interest in the field. I recently attended UMass Boston to complete my degree in Social Work/Human Services, but I'm in hiatus due to my sons being in college. $$$$! A sacrifice I don't regret. Ssssshhhh! As quiet as it's kept - I've written two books "Like A Bottle of Water,..." and "Uncle Rosie" which I plan to publish, with a 3rd in mind. That's if I can ever be satisfied and call and of them "finished." The problem is, when I put them down, I put them down for months and have to reread, etc... You heard it here first folks. Hope everyone...Expand for more
