Tammy this is for you & me.
I am me. I have had great loss. My 1st marriage began at 18 ( he was 19). A love story of all love stories. Not because we were pregnant, just 2 youngins in love. Had our 1st after 5 years of marriage. Then we had 3 more children, perfect! When our youngest was 3 years old, we lost their father in an accident.
We had just celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary. I am going to say it, "The best 20 years of my life." Devastated, I had to be strong. He was my soulmate, love of my life.
Why we married so young. I believe because our time together was limited.
Proceeded to be a mother to our children as the best I could without him.
About 5 months later, February, I was alone in the evening, I said to God, " show me my next steps, I am ready to move forward" the following morning after I put the older children on the bus for school me and the youngest were doing a little race back to the house. I slipped on a patch of ice. As I went down I my leg was under me I sat heavily down on to my ankle and crushed it. Ended up in the hospital on Valentine's Day having surgery to repair my ankle. Be careful what you ask for...I was laid up with 4 kids for 8 weeks..
Fast forward about a year after he past I meet my current husband. Another year we marry.
He is a great man, a little stubborn at times but I can live with that. Together we have 6 children. 4 mine, 2 his, and then baby makes 7 at this point we are 42 at this point. We build a home together to house the tribe. He already had it 1/2 way done. 7 bedrooms, still our home and down to 3 of us. If anyone needs to come back they are welcome.
We both worked and did the best we could. I think we succeeded all of them are doing better than us...now looking toward retirement, dreams of our golden years.We are starting early, I have not worked in 3 years and hubby is retiring next year. He has other ventureshe wants tod do. We are grandparents of 7 and I watch 2 of them about 9 days a month. Faking it until we are making it. So I am on a mission to make income online to pay off debt, keep the lights on and supplement retirement fund.
This is my story! Anyone else want to play.
And to tie it into this community. Where is me, who am I. Lyra here I come.
thank you for this space.
It's our time. Strong women unite!
