I`ve Lived with my Wonderful Significant Other For 30 yrs. She`s seen me through Breast Cancer & A Gangernous tumor to name a few! I was a teacher for 21 Fantastic Years but had to quite because of Health Problems. I loved Helping them learn & watching their voices when they understood something for the 1st time.
