My life after high school has been simple and not very exciting t o others I seen good friends make bad choices and losing because of those choices. watching my oldest and only brother
Being destroyed by his choices.and I was only 19 maybe 20 and and lifes leasons taught me Learning life is so precious to take everyday and make it a memory.No i I wasent a drug user.That wasent my thing.I married Jim Lynch 1981.In 1986 he was killed in a tragic motorcycle accident. We became River people.Always going to bullhead city where family had houses on river.Boat races,sprite cars racing. In 1988 my family moved to Arizona. To a town with dirt roads and ONLY ONE STOP LIGHT THROUGH WHOLE TOWN. Worked at Harris Laughlin 1991 - 2003 for 12 yrs as slot cashier and table games dealer.When the shooting happen at Harris ,it was a reality check.Married husband #2.and and learned life isn't all roses.Became a Grandma of 7 over the years. And AGREAT GRANDMA ( NANA?) OF 3 SO FAR .Then ONE DAY IN 2005 while hanging out with my Rev.bump.(yes that's his name)I meet the one I've been looking for.From 2005 to 2018 My life was became a AMAZING ADVENTURE!. We enjoyed life riding a rigid hardtail every where .I bought my first bike.A 1951 triump. Never got to ride it. I had to sell it because I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2015. .now it's 2023 and it's happening again.But now I'm struggling to decide if I fight like last time or let God decide if I done with my chores here on earth and go to paradises or is my job here ifnot finished yet.In 2018 my world was destroyed My husband was diagnosed with throat cancer and passed away in Jan 2018 .In March 2018 . I was blessed with 2 beautiful little angles .Kyle's who was almost 2 yrs old and his little sister Scarrlett. Who I brought home from the hosiptal..I adopted them 2019 .Kyle was born profound deaf and learning the world of a deaf child is very humbling .Scartlett just turned 5 years old.They came onto my life when my world was upside down . now I'm 67 yrs old going to BMX Races.playing barbies and having TEA PARTIES. Going to parents meetings and have these YOUNG MOTHERS stare at me and ask why would you
I DO IT All Again .Because that what great grandmother's do.. So if I could do my life over I wouldn't change a thing..Well MAYBE. HUSBAND #2 and going to jail for the first time at 42 for punching him (hubby #2) in the face on Valentines Day for catching him cheating on me .Like my Tim always said "LIFES JOURNEY IS NOT TO ARRIVE AT THE END SAFE.BUT...RATHER TO SKID IN SIDEWAYS TOTALLY WORN OUT SHOUTING 'HOLY SHIT... WHAT A RIDE!.

Yes .but none I don't want to share
