I am originally frrom N.J. but I moved to VA. after my husband died of cancer, and at that time I still had a 7 year old son to raise alone. I've had a tough time of things, in February of 2004 I had a stroke, cerebral hemmorage and aneurysm combination, the doctors told my 2 children I would not make through the day. I have been so ill at one point I thought I'd never see 50. God willing I'll be 55 in august. It's been time for me to give up this smoking thing. i also want to go back to school and get back in the nursing field, because I love to take care of others. My motto has always been if I can bring a smile to one person's face per day, than that's what makes me happy. If I don't tell anyone I had a stroke you can not look at me and see it. Although my life has been tough....I've still been blessed. I have two healthy adult children and 4 healthy grand children, ( a set of twin girls).  God has been good to me, & it's time I be good to myself.
