Status:I love to make hand made gifts, cards and give them to my friends. I also think people appreciate it more when it's hand made too. I also make alot of stuff and we just keep them for ourselfs. I also try to leave a little prayer with them... Ruth
About Me:
I'm a 65 yr.old Wife, Mother and Grandmother, I've been very, very ill for years with Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, 13 surgeries, and really to much to go into. I have to thank God for the past week, for the first time since I can remember I haven't hurt when I first woke up. I've been able to take myself to the store and not having to wait for someone else to take me, God had my Husband, Glenn all picked out for me years ago. Glenn was only 5 yrs. old when I married the first time at 18yrs. I lived through Hell for 26 yrs. at times I didn't think I could go on. I had twin girls that were to small and only lived three days,two months later I had to have my Gall Bladder removed and in six weeks I was expecting again, this time it was a boy and because of a lung problem he only lived four hours. We then adopted a beautiful baby boy right out of the nursey and finally we were a family. When our son, Bobby was 13 months old we had a beautiful 9½ lb. baby girl, Lisa. Of course I forgot to say that my husband was an alcoholic all those years and I more or less raised the kids myself. When our Bobby was three months from turning 16 he was killed in a motorcycle accident. So I have to say I have been through hell on earth. Ten months after we separated I met my precious husband Glenn. His father was a minister and he was raised to love and respect women. It's been 20 yrs. this Dec. that we've been together and I know God had him here just prepping him for me. I helped him in a time of his life that wasn't going so well either, so I guess you could say we saved each other. He takes such good care of me and though I'm 13 yr. his senior it doesn't matter one bit. I'd go through it all again if he were here waiting for me. I think my doctor with the help of God our Healer have me on the right med's. now. For like I said this is the first week in many, many yrs. that I'm really starting to feel good.
I pray that I continue to do so and that any one else with these awful crippling disease finds the answer they need. Just remember there's always someone worse off than you and keep praying , IT HELPS.
