luvmydad Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I am Teresa. I am a supervising deputy clerk in the General District Court Traffic & Criminal division for the past 19 years. I am 39 years old, so I grew up there. I live in Dayton, VA in a small but wonderful subdivision. I have been married to a wonderful man, Richard, for 19 years. We have an awesome 14 year old son, Hunter. We spend ALL our free time setting on bleachers watching him either play football, baseball, or wrestle. Go Knights!!! He spends all his free time chasing pretty girls. To be a teenager again.... And I cannot forget to mention our 105 pound "lap" dog Kasey. She is a yellow lab that will be 3 years old on Christmas day and is a constant source of enjoyment in our lives. She just makes you smile cause she loves ya so much. Currently we are waiting for dad (Jerry) to get his chemo and radiation treatments set up and he should be starting them in a week or so. I am scared about this. I was VERY bitter when I first came to this site because I was so scared. But given time, faith, LCSC members, family, friends, and a little help from my new friend Lexapro I am doing much, much better now. Thank you for a place to share with people that understand.

Carleen Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Hi! I'm Carleen I'm from Milwaukee WI,where I was born and have lived my whole life. I currently work as an auditor, but I'm rethinking that. I'd love to find a job in Marketing, have the degree but no experience. so that may take some time. I don't have any children, but I have a wonderful close family that includes 10 nieces whom I adore. I have one adorable black cat, and I adopted a 3 year old doberman from a rescue organization almost a year ago, who I love despite his stubborn drive to ignore all training and destroy my home and all the things in it. I lost my beloved husband and soulmate Keith June 29th, 2006 at the age of 34 after a 3 1/2 year courageous and valliant battle with atypical carcinoid LC. I still love him with all my heart and soul and I miss him so much. Always and Forever! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzie Q Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I am Karen. I live in Michigan just outside of Grand Rapids. I have been married to DH for 19 years, and we have 2 amazing daughters (4 and 6). I am a SAHM, but am looking for some work as a sonographer on a per diem basis; just enough to keep the skills up, but not enough to take any time away from my kids. Can you say "dream job?" I lost my dad to melanoma in Jan 2006. I lost my mom to NSCLC in Apr 2006. Still doesn't feel right, but i am learning to live with it. I am lucky to have 3 dear brothers who "get it." Sorry, no avatar, but I rarely have pictures of myself, as I am always behind the camera! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilyjohn Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I am Lillian. I am a retired caregiver. I live in Redding California one of the most beautiful places on Earth. I live in a Senior Retirement community. My days are filled with sewing, reading, exercise(still fighting the weight gained after stoped smoking) I don't move nearly as fast as I used to and at times that bothers me but for the most part I get by pretty well. I still like to cook and spend a lot of time doing some of what I did while working, driving, listening and sometimes cooking for my neighbors. I have 3 grown children who live in Louisiana. My oldest son's two daughters just made me great grandma within the past year. Caroline who will be one December 20th and Cy who just turned 6 months on the 23rd. I will be traveling by train to Louisiana to spend the holidays (encluding Mardi Gras)and will not be home until February. I love to travel by train and have flown only twice when extreme conditions made it impossible to avoid. My grandson goes to LSU and was a little disappointed that they lost last weekend but he is still a big fan. I would post pictures of the babies and a new picture of myself but can't figure out how to down size my picture enough to fit and have no idea how to post pictures of those precious babies! I still have some rough days this time of year but for the most part I am content and I guess I could even say happy. Will always miss my Johnny!
