Jodi's Story

Hopefully, life has been a wonderful journey thus far for all of you!! For me, it has been a wild and crazy roller coaster ride. I have had the good fortune to have a really successful career, travel, and live life in the fast lane before I became ill. I jammed a whole lot of living into the years before the onset of illness in 1995. Honestly, I've been SO fortunate to do things and go places that many people never have the opportunity to. And I still do manage to squeeze some fun and excitement into my life, you know me. I love the free single unattached life. Since our 20 year reunion, my health has declined significantly, including heart and renal failure. Then nine years ago I suffered a traumatic brain injury and broke my neck. Finally, after 4 years, I ditched the wheel chair!!, now only needing a cane when feeling tired. I am not sure what the future holds, but then who does? My social life is certainly not nearly as exciting as it used to be; but things change. I am hopeful, but realistc, and so thankful for every day. I have, fortunately, still been able to fullfil my passion for traveling. I am so thankful for my mom who has taken care of me through all of these troubled times. Living with her has really been a blessing. When I was growing up, she worked so much, we had little time together, as she was a single mother. Now, we are making up for that lost time. The last several years we have done things together that most mothers and daughters take for granted, but to us, they are most treausred moments. So, I try and take the view that "everything happens for a reason". 2009 brought a most unexpected surprise to my life, this consumate siingle girl fell in love. What was even more surprising was that it was with someone I had known since the age of 12. I met Bobby Moore the first day of 7th grade at Medina Jr. High. Then in early March 2010, Bobby and I got engaged to be married, and I was happie...Expand for more
r than I've ever been, he is the love of my life. Unfortunately on March 26, 2010, he died suddenly of a massive heart attack. As you can imagine, I was absolutely devastated and my entire world seemed to crash before my eyes. I have taken some time away for myself to try and deal with, and understand this most devastating loss. I have used some of this time to literally run as far away from everyone and everything as possible - hey, we all deal with things in our own way. It is approaching 18 months and although it is still painful, I am getting closer to the acceptance stage. In June, 14 years of nursing my father finally ended when he passed from Alzheimer's. Taking care of him was a very difficult thing because he was a deadbeat dad, who abandoned my family when I was very young and left us homeless for a period of time, and never paid child support. How ironic that I ended up taking care of him. I made the choice to do what I thought was the right, regardless of how he had treated, or not treated me. So, that was yet another emotional situation. I guess you can see the last couple of years have been an emotional roller coaster. I am praying for some calm and peacefulness to come my way as I work on putting the pieces of myself back together. The one thing I know for sure is I have only gotten through this all with strength from the Lord. Everyone has to pull strength from somewhere, it's up to each of us to determine what source is right for us. Every day when I awake, I am happy to be alive, I close my eyes and pray for strength, then try to get the most out of life on that day as I can; then the next day I do it all over again. That's my life. My time at Mifflin ( and Brookhaven) was such a blast !!! I so LOVED every minute of it. A big reason for it being so wonderful was due to all the wonderful people who were there with me. I love hearing from you, please feel free to get in touch. Peace and Prayers to all!
