I got married and had 3 beautiful children. Tyler (17) is healthy and very happy boy!! My twins were born with cystic fibrosis. Which is a severe lung disease. I lost my daughter Victoria at 5 months of age. Jessica(16) is struggling...she is a fighter. I am divorced now, since 1995.
I am working at a pediatric clinic as a nurse. I love my job, helping kids is very rewarding.
My daughter is a Dragon, she is very active within the school..she plays jv and varsity basketball and softball. She doesn't let her cystic fibrosis slow her down. She is an inspiration to other terminally ill children..

My favorite school story is when Melanie Eilers, Paula Windham, and I were cruising the mall; chasing boys! (of course). We seen some boys that we thought was cute so we hurried up to get in the car. Melanie jumped in on the driver's side, it was her car. Paula jumped in on the passenger side. So I started to get in the car, got my left leg in the car and Melanie backs out really fast...mind you i was not in the car yet!!! So I get thrown to the ground and Melanie runs over me in the parking lot. She stops, everyone checks me out to make sure I was ok. We run to the Junior Food Store and clean the blood off my legs and takes off chasing more boys...lol
The next morning we get home and our parents make us go to the hospital where I had torn ligaments, cartilages, and tendons in my right knee....our parents still give us a hard time about that night.....lol
p.s. Melanie is still my best friend in the whole world and wouldnt take anything for her...loves u melly!!!
