pawpaw's blog: "Me"

Today would have been my little brothers 49th birthday. At the age of 21 he chose to drink and get behind the wheel of his truck... He never made it home. He not only died as a result of his decision but the two people who were in the vehicle he had a head on crash with were in critical condition for several weeks. Thankfully they eventually recovered. Please folks, don't get me wrong. I'm not a prude and I have nothing against drinking and having a good time. (this is evidenced in my pics lol). Just please don't drink in excess without the benefit of a designated driver.

I'm currently seperated over 4 years now. I sublet a room from my son & his family. They have 2 boys, 0ne 6, one 3. My daughter has two children also. One boy 7, and a daughter who is 5. Those grandkids are the light of my life! :) I recently retired from a 22 yr Law Enforcement career. I'm taking the summer enjoying the grandchildren :) We've been camping 4 times and to Disneyland twice so far lol I'm not sure if I'm going to pursue a new career or just be a "nanny" to the boys for a while as both my son and daughter in law work full time night shifts.
