Diane's Story

Life is such a journey as we all have learned in the many years since Mepham. I am no longer known as "Diane" and as a matter of fact have been called Dee since my freshman year of college. Yes, this was a year of transformation and change for me. One of many to come in life. I graduated SUNY Buffalo with a BS in Occupational Therapy and returned a few years later to receive an MS in Health Sciences Education. I was married for less than 2 years in the seventies and for 17 years in the late 80's into the early 2000's. I consider my second marriage a success and this is why... we have 3 great daughters, we continue to raise them as great co-parents and remain friends. I have been told I should write a book and there are days I want to...Expand for more
as I look back and laugh... I have been married twice: I have been left for another woman and I have been left for a man. Which is more painful? That is what I am often asked. That is a conversation not a paragraph! I have seen my former husband and now dear friend through rehab and I have been through successful noncancerous brain surgery about 5 years ago. That's my story and now I want to enjoy life as I continue to work hard and raise my family. Honestly, high school was not my fun years. They started in college. I would love to connect back to my roots so here is an open invitation to write to me and let's have some laughs. I live in a fabulous New England town on the NY border... it is really not that far from our hometown.
