touched mine. Today my life is full and I’ve been blessed with a wonderful family. My parents were and are my rock, as well as my children. I thank God everyday that despite the trials and hard knocks I’ve received, he saw me through each and every time. I am grateful. I am blessed! I surround myself with those that lift me up. Inspire. Quality over quantity. Life is tough enough. I’ve lived. I’ve learned so much from my experiences both good ones and not so good ones. But I’ve become a better person because of it all!
