I absolutely can't believe I made it! 70 years is a long time! I've cheated death a few times and glad I did! (LOL!) I was asked once what was my secret. There is no secret. I suppose it is mostly due to my wonderful Husband, Garry of almost 50 years (Sept. 14th) who made sure I stayed with him to get here. The love of my 2 beautiful daughters and family. 2 precious grandkids that mean the world to me! What else does one need in a lifetime?

I honestly can say that there were times when my family and I didn't think I would see another day. Both of my pregnancies were extremely difficult. Before, during, and after. Then in 2021, I got the challenge of my lifetime. Covid19! That one almost took me down. I guess you could say I was stubborn, a fighter and I have more to live for. Maybe those things were there in my soul. But I wanted to give up, especially when I woke up from the Covid Coma. Besides being so confused I thought that was my time. I even begged Garry to let me go. Pulled out an IV or two! And begged the nurses to let me die. I was suicidal. I kid you not! I have the nurses' notes to prove it. But Garry gets all the credit for this one. He was put on FaceTime a great deal that day. And through his encouragement and my tears, he pulled me through once again! Garry is my true Hero! Is now and forever will be! 

So put those 70 candles on my birthday cake and let me blow them out with a heart full of gratitude! For all of Heros in my life so far. 

See you next time!
