Roberta's Story

Hey Everyone, I left Garey my Sophomore year. My time at Garey, I played Badminton, Volleyball and Tennis. I went to a group home in San Dimas where I went to SDHS. I briefly went back to Garey but not long enough to look up friends. I then moved to Ontario where I went to Chaffey. I walked (or as some would say ran) away from so many friends that had been such a significant part of the smile that I always tried to keep. I (unknowingly) made some important friends from both Garey and SDSH feel very insignificant or unimportant because they never knew what happened to me. Some of those people have recently contacted me or I have contacted them and are now learning the important roles they did play in my life. There are so many others that I have not had the opportunity to tell them where I went, why and how important they were to me (Liz Sandoval, Cecilia Bell, Ruth Carranza, Skip and Marty Ayers, Sue, Dale, Gary and Lori Liberty, Cathey Ellis, Traci Adkins, Tommy Stanzyk, Jeanette Padilla, Roberta Campos, Janelle Vargas, Dennis Perez and so many more). Some of these friends are from Pomona and a few are from San Dimas. I would love to reconnect with all of the names mentioned and even more that I did not mention. I had my first daughter at 17. Being a teenage mom was not easy but rewarding. I have three amazing daughters and five spectacular grandkids. My life has had many twists and turns (some good, some not so good). I have had employment that I considered just jobs and then a few that I have considered great careers. I moved to Arizona with my oldest daughter, son-in-law and grandsons May 2007 (after my divorce) when my daughter received the promotion of a lifetime with First American Title (where we both worked). I started working for S.A.F.E. Management (for the fun and a second job) as a part-time security...Expand for more
guard in November '07 at the University of Phoenix Stadium. AZ CARDINALS ALL THE WAY!!!!! I currently live with my babies, Moonlight and Herbie in Chandler, Arizona but cannot wait to move back to Cali. I had a stroke May of '08. It actually took my sight. I have no paralysis but I can't see anyone's pics YET! It's been an adjustment but also an adventure. The doctor's say with a lot of patience, hard work, support of my family and friends, and God willing, I will get my sight back completely. I may have lost my sight but I have gained insight... This too shall pass! Losing my sight has not changed who I am inside. Just made getting around a bit difficult. I still laugh and joke and enjoy my family and friends. The adventure of adjusting to not having sight has had it's ups and downs. Days I cried and days that I could not stop laughing. I find humor in most simple daily things such as making a bowl of cereal (did not know blind people smell foods to make sure they are still good) and starting my car periodically so the battery will not die (scares the h*ll out of neighbors who don't know me but see me walking with a white cane). LOL AS OF AUGUST 21, 2009.. I HAVE REGAINED MY SIGHT!!!! THE DOCTORS ARE AS AMAZED AS I AM. LIFE IS AWESOME! As of October 2009, I live back in SoCal. Currently living in Riverside and enjoying life as an energetic single grandma of 8. I have another sister (half), Carol who found us April of '07. I had been told about her by my mom when I was about 11 but always wondered growing up if that was just my imagination. Carol has become the Big Sis I had always wished for I love her with all of my heart. Her and I have the kind of relationship that my three daughters have had their whole lives. I am looking forward to catching up with some friends from the past and making new ones.
