I am a mother of three great kids, and 5 wonderful grandchildren. Had I known they would be so much fun, I would have had them first..LOL...Seriously, I have 2 daughters and a son, that have brought much joy and sorrow to my life..I wouldn't change any of it, could I do it over..I believe thay are part of what made me who I am. Everyone that passes through your life, leaves a part of themselves with you, as you loose a piece of you to them.. I am truely grateful for all those that have passed through, and welcome all who are to come.. I am very family orientied, and spend alot of time with those I love..Making memories.... Being the 3rd of 12 choldren, there was always alot of family around..My wonderful parents,( both now deceased) were married 52 years. They raised there children with the same love, understanding, and patience, they shared with each other. Instilling in us, a combination of both there best qualities..My dad was in the Army for 18 years, and 6 of his children (both son's and daughter) also served.My mom worked at times, but mostly stayed home and raised there children. I think the best quality they instilled in me was my sense of family, loyality and being your own person. I am independent, and have a brain of my own, so I have opinions and thoughts of my own, and will share,( if asked). Just be sure you want to know when you do, cuz i don't pull punches...I do not set out to hurt anybody's feelings, and feel bad if I do, but I am outspoken and at times, on some things very straight forward...I am honest and loyal, and expect the same... Due to recent events I try to live each day as it comes, and to the fullest that is possiable..You never know what tomorrow will bring. Every day I wake up is a good day.. Guess all that is left to say is..I am single again.. Not really looking for anything serious right away, but do have an open mind... See you all on CT
