Profile Information:
- About Me:
- I am 63 years old. I have been on disability since 2006. My son of 29 years passed away in May 2005. I clean houses to supplement my disability. Recently, I had an illness and have lost my jobs. Only immediate family I have left is my sister who suffers from mental illness (severe). She and my disabled aunt live together. I run their errands for them. My 18 year old grandson moved in with me in May of this year after graduation.
- About my Loss:
- My son died on Mother's Day, May 2005. My husband died on Mother's Day, 2010. My mother died on April 26th of last year. I haven't even had time to recover from loss of one before the loss of another.

Today will be the first Thanksgiving that I have not cooked a Thanksgiving meal in 25 years. Going to Cracker Barrell and picking up dinners and pies for myself, aunt and sister. Neither one of them is able to go out. I am very thankful for who I have left and what I have. I give "God" all of the Glory for getting me thru this day!
