Artis's Story
Life
After high school I moved west to attend college at the University of Oklahoma. A year after graduating that I had my wonderful son, Kalan and I moved further west to Dallas, Texas. I lived there for about 15 years. Failing health caused me to move back to Memphis.
I am an educator, serving primary students and have been doing this about 13 years now. I have definitely been called to this profession or else I would not been in it! :0)
I re-met the love of my life at our 20th class reunion and a few years later we were happily married. You guys remember "Bright Eyes"? Yep, that's hi...Expand for more
m -- Thomas T. Walker, Jr.!! Now we are a blended family of five (three boys, combined) but joyfully we almost have an empty nest. Their ages are 26, 23, and 21---all in are in college and out of state. So we do have an empty nest for nine months of the year!! :}
Last year (June 12, 2007 to be specific) I had a successful kidney transplant and the donor was my one and only child (Kalan). Only God knew that when I gave him life he would be instrumental in saving my life. I am so grateful.
Now my son is to be married soon at a moonlight service in Houston, Texas. More to come as it unfolds....
