I have written all my life. Every event that happened was for a purpose, and I recorded it in journals. Every joy, illness, heartbreak, and victory was written. My life of 72 years has been accounted for. And filled with such great love, it must be told. I was born in Petersburg, Indiana. One of six with wonderful Christian parents, moved to Illinois after high school graduation. Attended a Christian college majored in art. Married after one year to a good-looking ladies man (was that a mistake). We had three children then divorced. I remarried to a kind loving godly man who cared for me and my three children. We had three more children. Ten years of mothering was not enough. I went back to college to get a nursing degree and spent twenty-five years working. We adopted and, raising three of our twelve grandchildren. Then our bodies gave out. Ten years of caring for a sick husband, who passed away three years ago and several surgeries, I am now ready for another career my third love writing.view less
