Heather's Story
My Life ... I would like to Thank ALL of the students that I have gone to school with since the beginning of time ... Thank you for your kindness. I have tried to reach out to all of you who showed me kindness throughout the years. YOU all made my life tolerable until I figured it out. "I am responsible for my own contentment.. I do not give permission to anyone to deprive me of this".
Having attended High School in California and Ohio, I did not graduate from Fostoria HS, Arcadia HS or John Burroughs HS (constantly moving, story of my life, lol ) I went on to become a nurse (LVN), I worked for CA Dept. of Corrections as an M.T.A. (Peace Officer), I retired in 1998. I work with Opiate/Opioid dependent persons since about 2000, in a methadone clinic (LVN/Special Projects Coordinator) YES methadone works for those that allow it to work. I married my Best Friend, My Soul Mate, My Life partner ~ Manuel, I often joke to others that I met my husband in prison. We have 3 boys, my furbabies (dogs, cats), I think one...Expand for more
of our rescues put a note out in the "Doggie Underground" ... If you show up they will save you". Numerous stories for rescuing furbabies to be told. Fortunately :} I have mellowed with age:o}, I am also a cancer survivor (Non-Hodgkin's B-Cell Lymphoma) for which I am grateful to be given a 2nd chance to live life to it's fullest. I am also the founder of MoMmA's (mothers of methamphetamine addicts) a support group for the family and friends of meth (speed) users. I am currently documenting my experience as the mother of methamphetamine addict(s) Happily to report ALL 3 are sober today and MoMmA's. I have 3 granddaughters and 3 grandsons. My "Frosting on the cake story" to share ... in 2010 I connected with my biological father's family I have 5 wonderful siblings 3 brothers and 2 sisters. I have a Step-Mom that is Beautiful beyond words, I still can not believe what a phenomenal human being she is, I have made it perfectly clear she owes me NOTHING. Yet she has a generous heart ... Blessed beyond words <3
