Nina's Story
Life
My so called life-story ... hmmm...Not all that exciting, just life...
Got married in 1981 and started a family soon after. My husband and I had 4 beautiful children: Jesse, Dustin, Kali & Kerry. In 1993 we moved from East Moriches to the east coast of Florida and we've been here ever since! My husband is an Architect, and I work (alongside with my daughter!)in a busy Veterinary Hospital. A true animal lover, I've been working in the field for 15+ years...
My oldest son is finishing up on his Masters in Criminal Justice and works as a Juvenile Probation Officer. He got married in April 08 to an awesome girl and they live an hour away in Orlando...
My second son, Dustin, joined the Marine Corps right out of High School and within 3 years became a Corporal - quite impressive for a 20yr old! In March 2004, he was deployed to Iraq. It saddens me to say that he didn't make it home. That May he died along with another Marine during a covert night mission while swimming across ...Expand for more
the Euphrates... I couldn't be more proud of my son and I miss him more than words could describe. Unfortunately, life has not been the same for any of us since then.... Losing a child changes you forever as you can imagine...
My two youngest kids are still in college - My daughter works at the vet hospital with me, which is kind of cool! My son is the musician in the house... An awesome drum player (had a band for several years until everyone headed for college...)
The house is pretty active with all the animals (3 dogs, 2 cats, bird, etc...) The newest additions: A kitten & puppy who came to us from the shelter - both had to have a leg amputated at our hospital when they were just a few months old. Love at first sight!
So, that's about it... I love Florida and am happy here... Life has dealt me a tough blow, but everyday is a little better, I guess... Loss is part of life - it hurts, and it sucks, but I am coping and becoming stronger and will find some inner peace...
