   Hello, my name is Shannon. I was married for almost 10 years and we have 2 sons Dalton 13 & Logan 8. My husband passed away in his sleep last year from a brain anurysm. So now he's in Heaven as our guardian angel always watching over us.

   I'm now with a man who loves me for who I am and more than life it's self. He's so kind, loving, generous and treats me like an angel that has been sent down from heaven, but I know he is a gift from God after all the heart ache I have encountered last year. He's always there for me & my sons no matter what. I prayed to God every night to heal my heart after losing my husband because I couldn't take the pain any more, then he sent me my angel Gary. I know he is my gift from God, I've never met a more kind, generous & loving man. I don't know what I would have done if it wasn't for my sweetheart.

   I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis February 2008. I was devastated and shocked, I have had symptoms for 3 years, but every Dr. didn't have an answer. I have Relapse Remitting MS where I'll be fine one day and the next I have to use my cane or can't drive because I temporaily lose my sight. When I ask my Dr. when will it stop or get better none of them can tell me or predict my future with MS, since it's an unpredictable disease.

   So, now I try to live my days to the fullest if the MS allows me to, I try not to let it control me. I enrolled online college courses to get my associates degree in medical billing and coding specialist and also into accounting. I would also love to enjoy my days in a beautiful suroundings and more than enough fun, full of things to do while I'm stil able to do them. I may never (hopefully) become completely disabled, but I want to spend the rest of my days to the fullest and most of all with my family. God bless to all of you, live a safe,happy and healthy life.
