Started Over in new Location June 20, 2001 - San Jose, CA
This is my pic the first year I moved away from the only home I'd ever known, the San Joaquin Valley of Calif. I left a town of 100,000 for a metropolis of 9 times that. Look at my eyes, I can still see the timid sadness in them and my forced smile in that first school photo. I missed my sons so much I slept with their cat, Tigger, who would circle our tiny studio looking for them both. So so many tears and so much lonliness that year. They'll never know. I faked it great, as usual.

Divorce December 23, 1993 - Visalia, CA
Two years of dual unemployment was the last straw. For several years I settled for just being near him and having the ability to love and serve him. But ignoring me turned to calling me names and I wouldn't have my sons observe that. I initiated separation, he initiated divorce. It just all blew up.

Mom Died February 19, 1987 - Tulare, CA
Never drank in her whole life. So why become a drunk at 48? Died of alcoholism at 57. Such grief she caused us for so so long. Why mom?

Parker Williamson March 17, 1985 - Visalia, CA 9:03 pm on my birthday!
His birth was 2 yrs. ahead of my plan, but oh my God certainly knew what he was doing! This child brought even more laughter, SUCH a giggler, into our home. Parker loved to play, loved his big brother Jordan, loved everyone and still does. Was always very generous, once gave Jordan his very first 15 cent allowance at age 2 when Jordan complained about his!

Vacation to Canada April 4, 1983 - Victoria, Canada
We took Jordan, age 5 mos. and heaps of baby stuff on the trip of our lifetime. For me the highlight was taking the road less traveled and finding our hidden gem "Castle Lake". It looked like a mirror. Great Photos. Still say I should enter them in a contest!

Birth of Son: Jordan Christopher February 1, 1983 - Visalia, CA
Shown here at age 4. The magnificent impact of being a mom blew me away. I was forever changed as a human. I was challenged by his existence to always be and do my personal best and give that to him, myself, my God and all mankind.
