I am a single dad of two and believe that to be the most important thing in my life. I cared for my mom for eleven years and lost her recently. She had dementia. She was with me from age 29-40 and I am having difficulty finding purpose beyond my children. I was alone with her when she took her last breath. That was a little difficult and strange at the same time. But I don't think I would want it any other way. We were very close.

I am a photographer and teacher(I teach photography at a local college). I love both very much. When I am teaching, I generally feel great. I have a background in art and psychology and enjoy sharing my God given talents with my students. I LOVE being outdoors hiking, canoing, kayaking and just basically exploring and having an adventure as well as taking pictures of all of the above. You will rarely find me without a camera. I got my adventurous side from my mom. I suppose I am artistic. I like to create things with my hands in about any medium, wood, clay, glass, whatever I can get my hands on.

I cared for my mom for eleven years. She had dementia. I am having difficulty finding purpose beyond my children.Before mom got sick, she was my hero. I can't describe how I looked up to her. She dedicated her life to helping others and deserved all I could give her. The last four years, she could not speak or respond. However, the last 5 to 6 weeks of her life, she seemed to become aware of her surroundings. She looked frightened. It broke my heart and haunts me every day.
