    • About Me

      I'm a devoted mother , grandma and friend .Taking one day at a time and living in faith is the only thing that keeps me going. Tired of struggling alone, I have God but I could sure use someone in the physical realm to lean on. Im here to help as best I can but I need help too, hey, Im only human. If you're from the midwest I would love to talk with you especially . If Im distant its the depression, If im indifferent its my poor memory so dont take it personally, in fact here are some words of wisdom, 'Don't take everything so personally b/c its probably about the other person.
