Debbie's Story
This will be my last month on here (June), you can reach me on face book Debbie Brooks Riffel...
Hi! It is so nice to see so many HHS'ers on here! So the question is what have I been up to? In my life I have slept under the stars ,watched a meteor shower, been to Disneyland/world, held a praying mantis, talked with Oprah and Dr. Oz, ziplined, seen Gericault's "Raft of the Medusa" and De Gas "Ballerina" in person, had a pillow fight, built a snow fort, seen a total eclipse, watched a sunrise and sunset, hit a home run, been on a cruise, had enough money to be truly satisfied, bought a stranger a meal at a restaurant. walked on a beach by moonlight, went down in a submarine, swam with dolphins, had my hair cornrowed, modeled for Montgomery Ward, been a "Vanna White" at a company's Christmas party, kissed in the rain, played in the mud, heard Billy Collins read his poetry in person, started a business, flown in a helicopter, had my picture in the newspaper, been on KY3 news twice with my daughter, saw Adam Lambert perform, attended "finley river" concert, lost a loved one, had a baby, got older, hopefully wiser. But these are just things I did.
Who am I? First and foremost I am a Christian, I love Jesus with all my heart and put all my trust in His mercy and grace. I humbly confess I am a work in progress and God in His infinite wisdom is daily patient with me as only He can be as I "grow" t...Expand for more
hough my life.
I think that I am just like everyone else..wanting to be useful and feel loved. I am a widow, but don't feel sorry for me, because I had the blessing of knowing what it was like to be truly loved and treated like a lady by my husband. What will I do in the future? Well, I have a crazy bucket list, that gets crazier everyday. Maybe because I know my time is getting shorter haha....Will I do it alone, I hope not, I would love to find someone to go on a picnic with, count the stars beside, snuggle up to with a warm fire and watch tv, talk over the day with, leave love notes on the mirror with lipstick, bake their favorite cookies for them, take a walk through the gardens together(ok are you getting sick yet lol) ok so maybe I wouldn't mind lots of exciting new adventures with someone, seeing new places, traveling, trying new things... someone to finish out my life with.But whether I do or not, I have been the most blessed woman in the world! My email address is d a r 052 at the phone company if you ever want to say "Hi".
The rest is not yet written...Thank you to each one of you who have been a part of my life, I have learned something from each person and you have helped me find my way through this life.....I hope I get to see you in our lives many more times, but just in case I don't, let me tell you...it has been a privilege and honor to know you! Big Hugs!
