I am just a down home country girl who loves her husband with all that I have. He is my true love and I believe that "Ours is a real love story." I believe that the Lord decided to bless me with an awesome man. I truly love all of my family. My sista, (cousin,) Deb is always with me in heart even though she lives so far away. I love my siblings from a very deep place in my heart. I grew up between 3 brothers and finally I got 3 sisters whom I adore, especially now in there own womanhood. I have 1 sister who was still born. I also have 3 more sisters from my dad. I would love the chance to get to spend some time with them and get to know them better. All of my grandchildren and great grandchildren hold my heart strings. I get emotional sometimes because I miss seeing all of them. I have missed so much of there growing up years and that was so very hard on me not to be a part of there daily lifes any more since some of them moved away. I love my 3 girls, dogs, Mattie, Molly, and Twilight. They always love me with no conditions. I truly believe that if we all had unconditional love, it would be a better world. I am forever on a self journey in this life. I have learned many lessons, especially in the so called "hard knocks of life." Still learning. I have discovered that if I don't learn them right the first time then I get to do it over again. Memories are forever with me but I don't live in the past anymore. It's been said that sorrow and happiness come out of the same well inside of all of us and if you have know many sorrows then you will eventually know much happiness. I believe this because I have it in my life now. My husband keeps telling me that at this point in our lives, it is all about him and me now, we did our job as parents and so on. It took me a long time to fully grasp this and thank God that he waited for me to catch up to him. I am understanding this more these days. Never easy to put down the "Mother and the Grandma hat" we wear. I can never do it totally, just sometimes now. My sweetie is one of a kind. I love Rock and Roll, mostly 70's and some 80's. Heart is my favorite. I believe in forgiveness. I also believe that as a family, we all have a very strong bond together and always will. All in all, I am who I am, therefore, I am.
