Elizabeth's Story
How times fly when we are getting old. :) My life has had its ups and downs but through it all I have managed to keep my head up. I have had a total of 4 children, 1 lives with his father he is now 25 years old and I also have my daughter who is 26 yrs old now which I had in high school during my senior year and I have my 11 year old son. I lost 1 daughter towards the end of my pregnancy. I am happily married to a wonderful man who has always been there for me he is my best friend and we were meant to be from day one. We have been married this year 19 years, and together for 24 years. He is also a graduate from Leto, he was a part of Leto's baseball team. When I first met him my friends all told me that it would never marry me, be but I knew different in my heart he would and after five years he finally proposed and we are still going strong.
I am not rich nor do I care to be. I am comfortable where I am. I do not want for anything. I have a wonderful family and a good job. I am now a grandmother, (which by the way does not make me feel old) I really enjoy being with my children and grandson. Three years ago in February we suffered two losses one was my youngest sister and 21 days later my father.

tunity three years ago to go home to Spain to see my mother's family with my son and we had the most wonderful time and my gosh did it bring back alot of memories. We were even able to go to Italy. My son really liked it, he had no problem playing with the children there or communicating with them. I just wish I could do it more often.
As my children are getting older I cherrish every moment I have with them because you never know what can happen tomorrow. My mother is a big part of my life and I am always there to make sure she is okay. My other sister still lives in Tampa.
As for my future who knows only God can predict this I leave it in his hands to decide my fate. I have made many mistakes in my life but I dont dwell on them I just try to make the best of what God has given me. All my children are important to me as well as all of my family whether they are present or absent they are always on my mind and in my heart.
When I was young I never thought this way, but as I got older and realized what you can lose before you had a chance to cherish it is when its to late, so that is why I cherish everything in life and dont take it for granted anymore.
I hope everyone is as happy with their lives as I am with mine.
