    • About Me

      I am a proud Mother and "Nana" I love my family and they have been my reason to keep fighting to "overcome". I am a very deep person, yet have learned to laugh at and with, myself and some of the things I do. I have just recently learned to "nurture the child within and alto it is an ongoing journey...I fight to learn from each situation and grow, not only for myself, but for those I love. I can be the best friend anyone could wish for...I love unconditionally, even if you are here today and gone tomorrow. I have many health issues, I deal with on a daily basis...days I feel I cant make it, I will withdraw, but somehow God gives me the strength to make it thru. I have learned that the word family is only a word..and usually have made my own, when the real ones, haha..have deserted me...
