I struggled for two years trying to figure out who I was after Robert died. I'm still working on that but I know more of who I am than I ever have.

In March of 2003 I met a man over the internet. He sounded so nice and safe so we met at the Cambrian Mall and went out to supper. That was the beginning of the most wonderful relationship, one that I'd never had before. We got married on August 30, 2003 in the park. It was beautiful and I know he was nervous but that made it even more special. I love him so much and can't wait to move into our house. A few things have prevented that but it will work out soon, as soon as I get a visa.

I was a widow, my husband died of a blood clot and Muscular Dystrophy. I have three beautiful adult children and a wonderful precocious granddaughter.
My interests and hobbies are; computers, learning, sketching, music, reading and writing poetry, learning about designing, creating new interests and travel.
I am fortunate to have a loving supportive family and many wonderful caring friends.

Family is important to me because it is a large part of who I am. I wouldn't be who I was if it wasn't for my Mom and Dad, my husband and my children.

I have found many supportive friends through Al-Anon and other 12 step fellowships. They are like a second family to me. I now have friends all over the world and that is something that I value highly.

While being involved in volunteering I have been able to strengthen my skills while helping others but I have also made many wonderful friends. I am discovering more about me every day. I am still looking for that one thing that will bring happiness back into my life. I've learned a lot over the years and grown and changed tremendously. I've also learned that the key to that happiness is loving yourself and I'm not quite at that spot at times. Thinking back on the times I spent with my husband and kids I remember some really beautiful fun times together. Life isn't always like that unfortunately and there were many difficult times as well. I didn't think it was possible at the time but I have grown from those experiences and changed from a quiet shy lady to the loving and caring person that I am today. I have stumbled quite often in life and I'm going through one of those periods now, trying to find out where I fit in the scheme of things and who I am. Writing poetry helps me to do that.
