Linda's Story

ANOTHER UPDATE: Moved to Cincinnati, OH this summer (June 2014) to be closer to my sister and her family. Will be teaching Reading PT at a Catholic school about 17 miles from my house. My son Sean moved with me and trying to get him into a group home. Hope to make it to the September 2015 class reunion. UPDATE: I'm now living in Show Low, AZ in the White Mountains. It's very beautiful and the climate is great. I came out in Aug. of 2009 to work as a Reading Specialist at the American Indian Christian Mission. It's primarily Apache kids and a few Navajo. Funding for the school dropped drastically so they had to let many of us go. I just got a job with the AZ Baptist Children's Services. I will be an In-Home Services Specialist - social worker. I will go see parents and klids and help with parenting skills, budgeting, housekeeping, etc. I will also teach some parenting classes and probably do some counseling with some of the children. I got a Masters in Counseling in 1998. Sean, my son, is still with me and lives in a group home here in Show Low. I still bring him home 2 weekends a month. For those who don't know he has cerebral palsy. He's very intelligent and loved by all. I can be reached at lrai5017 at gmail dot com. Linda ...Expand for more
ANOTHER UPDATE: I just got another job here in Show Low. I will be a Case Manager/Clinical Liaison at the local Community Counseling Center. I will be counseling with children and youth. I will begin January 10, 2011. I have already met many of the other counselors who work there through my work with Arizona Baptist Children's Services. I have been to a number of CFT meetings for the clients I have now. It will be a lot of work and my caseload won't be small but I'm looking forward to helping the children. It's what I've been doing for years and what I enjoy and brings me a lot of satisfaction. ANOTHER UPDATE: Still here in Show Low and have been teaching at McNary Elementary on the White Mountain Apache Indian Reservation. Last year I taught 1st and this year I'm teaching 3rd grade with a wonderful group of only 9 students!! In July of 2011, I was diagnosed with breast cancer - caught it early - had a double mastectomy and have been doing great so far - no return of the cancer. Had a brief visit from my daughter and her husband in October. They live south of Dallas and both doing great. Unable to have children so don't have any grandbabies. My son Sean is still with me in a group home here in Show Low. Hope you all are well.
