Susan's Story
Life
After high school, I went off to Univ of the Pacific for music ed (yes, I continued to be a band geek). After a couple of years there, I transferred to San Diego State to be in a marching band. I then developed tendonitis in both wrists, and that ended my music career (no more band geek). I stayed in San Diego and loved it. Just didn't like being so far away from my parents. Got married in '02, then had my son in '03. My father was diagnosed with lung cancer on 3/12/04 and went through all the treatments. We drove to Marina for every holiday, just to spend the extra time with my parents and let them spoil my son. Then on 3/12/05, he was then diagnosed with cancer in the spinal cord. I came back up to Marina to help my parents out. A week later on 4/5, I lost both my parents. My Mom suffered a massive stroke the morning we were to remove my father from life support.

ersary. After that, I had a tough time dealing with everyday life, especially work. After some thinking, we decided to move back to Marina and live in my parents house. This way my son can also spend time with his other grandparents.
After 3 years, I have returned to the work force in 10/08. It was hard to return to work and not be able to volunteer at my son's school. He is finishing up his kindergarten year at a dual language immersion program. He is learning Spanish, and doing pretty good.
After everything that I have gone through, I am trying to enjoy life everyday. I have learned the hard way with my parents, that you don't know when we will be taken off this earth.. Until then, live it!!
