About Me
I have been working with physically and emotionally handicapped children for 20 years. My son, Michael 29 is who keeps me going day to day. My oldest son, Billy, died 8 years ago from Acute Mylogenous Leukemia. To me it seems like 8 seconds ago. I still find it extremely hard to accept and acknowledge. I know that by this length of time most people are able to move forward but I feel I will be totally heartbroken and devastated until the day I die. Is there anyone who understands this?
