About Me:

Currently living in Iowa and taking care of my sister who is mentally challenged. I am a single mom with one very intelligent and talented daughter. I enjoy Native American culture, art, nature, animals and music. love to read and visit with friends. As you can see, i paint feathers.
(On Feb. 8, 2010 My Sweet Mother crossed over to be with her Maker and her husband and relatives that have passed before her . Although, for myself, it was very overwhelming to watch my Mother deteriorate before me. Days before she passed my younger sister and I were able to talk about many memories and stories in our lives. We spent many nights and hours holding her hands. She didn't respond but, we knew she could hear us. We knew she knew we were there. And In the moment of her last breath, there was a wave of emotions that welled up inside me. Much sadness at the loss. Much relief that she didn't have to suffer anymore. I remembered praying to my Father to come and help guide her home. And I believe he did. He came and got her on their 62nd Wedding Anniversary.
In her room at Taylor House there was a door leading out to the outside patio. I opened the door a bit so that her Spirit could leave. I must not have opened it far enough, for the door opened a bit wider so she could pass. I think my Father was with her leading her out. It was a very powerful moment. It was bitter sweet too. It was freedom. My Sweet Mother is home and well again.)
