I’ve had two really tragedies that really made me stop and think about the fragility of human life.

My youngest son lost a baby, you know, full-stage baby passed away a couple days before he was born. That hit pretty hard because we are a family that is very close and very – life means a lot.

The other one was when my mother passed away. She was both my best friend and someone that I cared deeply for. I took care of her. I moved in with my mother the last year of her life and lived with her and my husband and son batched it at home. I lived with my mom and took care of her until she passed away. Those were the bad days.

The good ones were just being with my kids when they were growing up. That’s an experience, you know, that I feel every parent should have a chance to experience.

I know everyone is not able to do that but we were lucky enough that my husband made enough money we could afford for me to stay home and be a stay-at-home mom.

Highs? I guess seeing my boys graduate from college.

I keep saying boys, and I do have a daughter and I am proud of her but she doesn’t, you know, she just works an ordinary job. She has never; she is just as ordinary as I am. Just an ordinary person. She has two grown children and they’ve both given me two great-grandchildren so I have four great-grandchildren which I am very proud of.
