In July of 1999 I had a major stroke, that left my left side inoperable. I have had to learn everything all over again, from letters, numbers, walking, talking and all. I am not all the way there yet, but I have survived this. I learn each and everyday and don't give up. Thanks to my husband who has stood behind me and my children to help me along the way. With the stroke, my personality has changed a lot and from what I have been told for the better. My long term memory is gone and I do not remember anything from before the stroke, my short term memory is iffy, but I get through it all. I guess the sad part of it all is, I don't remember giving birth to my children or marrying my wonderful husband. I work and struggle each and every day to make life what it is. I am who I am and what I have become and I have accepted this. This is part of my life, some days it is harder then others. My family gives me strength and the lord as well. I survived and I am so glad that I did. There are some things I would like to tell you, but not sure I have enough space to do so. Like the first time I saw snow and the amazment of it's beauty. When fall hit and wonderful colors that are in this world. I have to experience it all again and it was wonderful and so very beautiful.
