Amy Giovanoni:  

Hi everyone! Since those old high school days, I went to work full-time, sweating away my fingers typing! At my third secretarial job, I met my husband of almost 26 years, who would've thought! Soon, thereafter, our son, Michael was born (25 years old). When Michael was about two I developed RA (still have it, unfortunately) and 7 years later, our daughter Michelle was born (she just turned 18!) Lastly, but certainly not the least, our little miracle Maria was born 8 years later (she'll be 10 soon). Maria will soon be needing a kidney transplant. Despite all the challenges she has endured, she is ever-smiling, always happy and lives life to the fullest. Her father will be her living donor. Think about organ donation, it could save someone's life! Maria just recently returned from a wonderful Make a Wish Foundation trip of a lifetime to Disneyworld, Seaworld and the Nickelodeon hotel in Orlando! Maria had a wonderful time getting hugs from all her favorite characters! Michelle will be attending Boston Unviersity as a freshmen this Fall majoring in Archaeology. She has always worked hard and I know will continue to achieve her dreams. Michael is a Catering Manager. He works hard and does an outstanding job. He's Maria's Godfather and is a really fine and caring young man. As you can see, my life has certainly revolved around my children and in retrospect, I don't think I would have wanted it any other way. They are truly wonderful! I may not have become the Artist I dreamed of becoming, instead I became a chef, maid, chauffer, nurse, doctor, teacher, ebayer and a billion other little things, that add up to one word - MOM. Take care. Hope to hear from some of you! Update: On December 8th, my husband, Joe, suffered a ruptured brain aneursym. He survived and can walk and talk, but suffers from severe fatigue. He is currently on disabiity from work ...Expand for more
