Robin McConnell:  

Eight days after graduation I married my husband Lynn. We have been together nearly 42 years. I know, in this day and age that is almost unheard of. In 1972 I gave birth to our first child, Kristin Michelle. She was and still is the light of our life. In 1976 we presented her with a baby brother, Kyle Lynn. They have always been best friends and still are today. Kristin remains single but is happy in her life. She has 3 dogs, one of which is a service dog for her diabetes. She has been a diabetic since before age 3. Kyle on the other hand is in the process of ending his 3rd marriage. The first one he had married way too young. 19 and still in the Army, she was very immature also. # 2 was with a lovely girl, Lexa, who has a daughter, Briana.

Kyle is teaching her to drive and that's been an experience for him. Marriage #3 is to a sweet young lady by the name of Jaymie and that union produced Laceyann Kaitlynne. She is the light of our life. She very smart and all of her pre-school teachers say she is very bright and far ahead of her peers. Because she is a November baby, she will be almost 6 when she starts kindergarten. Jaymie has another daughter, Shianna, who lives with Jaymie's parents in Nevada. She just turned 13 last week. Kyle and Jaymie are now separated and probably be getting divorced. However, shortly after the separation, unbeknownst to her for 4 !/2 months, Jaymie became pregnant with Aaron Chance. I claim Jaymie as my daughter in love and Aaron is our grandson. Back in 1987 I went back to school and got my AA degree in administrative secretary. I graduated the same year my daughter graduated from high school in 1990. I worked for The Salvation Army for 13 1/2 years until my husband could not longer work and needed me to be at home to care for him. Since August 2011 we have been in the process of purchasing a new home. My husband was awarded compensation for his agent orange exposure which caused him to have Parkinson's Disease. He has suffered with this dibilatating disease for over 20 years, In 1998 he was unable unable to continue working at his job ...Expand for more
