    • About Me

      ( This PHOTO to the left is of our son Ryan. We lost him bout the time this picture was taken, due to an accident.That was in 1979.)I'm 52 yrs old.I've been married to my super hubby for 31yrs as of Sept. 3rd.I am an EMT an have worked for an ambulance service for 4yrs now.I am the mom of 3 great sons, I have a great daughter-in-law and two sweet grandsons.One of our sons was killed in an accident in 1979. I destroyed my left knee during an ambulance run and required total knee replacement. Doctors have said that due to the surgery and trauma of it all, for the last 11 months I've been blessed with this awful fibromyalgia! Many yrs ago, I lost custody of my oldest son, Chad, in a bitter divorce. My ex had the support of his parents and mine.They told judge I was INSANE cuz I left my ex, so judge stated that due to this, my beautiful son was given to my ex.That was in 1976. My hubby Rex and I also had a miscarriage after our son Ryan was killed. I've not been very lucky with my kids, now have I. But I have been VERY lucky when I married Rex, 31 years ago, the 3rd of Sept. Hes a Godsend and without his love and support..well, I wouldn't be here today.I pray that each and everyone of you find a mate like mine.God bless.
