I live in Vancouver, WA and work for the US Forest Service at Mount St Helens National Volcanic Monument.
My only child-son was born in 1985 and still lives at home. I swear his generation never moves out.

My life since high school has been filled with remarkable tragedies and triumphs. My college boyfriend was killed in a car crash while I was pregnant with his child. My right arm was nearly severed off from a different car crash. I was sued individually and personaly for 1.3 million dollars. My house was burnt down by an 8 year old arsonist. My son was in a coma-twice, each for 4 days but a year apart. (Car accident & suicide attempt) and I am a cancer survivor.
I'm saying all this not looking for pity. I'm saying this to explain my passion for life. Becuase I know first hand how tenative and precious life is. So I truly live each day like I am dying, and I hope to die like I was living.
