Nickie Stocks:  

the friends I had in school. Taft was a great experience in many aspects. Come chat with me on Facebook, Nickie Hill Stocks. Update to 2022 Lots have happend since I reached my 70's. Just after I hit the magic number 70, our son committed suicide - he hung himself. He had demons, too many to deal with in his married life and personal demons.. You never know who is suffering to the point they think ending their life will be best. He left 2 precious boys who are lost.. Our daughter and 2 of her boys moved in with us - heck we have 3 bedrooms and bath upstairs we don't use. My daughter has worked for DCFS 10 years and transferred to the office I retired from just before our Steve took his life. Her youngest will be a senior this year playing football, or course and is on the wrestling team, going to State last year!! Then I retired for good on 12 November 2021 and on 19 November, I slipped and fell breaking my femur which has resulted in 2 surgeries since the bone didn't want to cooperate the first time! OH YEA, this is retirement? I have tried to learn patience but for an old Italian woman, it's been hard - non weight bearing for 4 of those months but I am walking with a walker now - a cute pink one with flower decals. Keeping a smile on my face after my pity party for one didn't work. 2023 will be better!
