    About Me

    I am a Medical Billing Coordinator. I have worked in medicine in one way or another. Er tech, Helicopter, Ambulance. I love the beach quess you would have to living in florida. There in nothing better than warm sand and the crashing of waves. I am slowing learning to get back to me. Whatever it takes.

    Interests

    I love Journalling. I would die without music. I think I should have been a hippie. I love Pink Floyd, Zepplin, Cream, Doors. My father was a huge muscian and I grew up listening to music and grew up with all different types of music. I love watching the ocean. I love basking in the sun. I don't do bars anymore. I love playing poker. That is the basic's about me. Any more I don't bite just ask. I love chatting with people.

    • Open Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Parent

      My father passed away 1 year ago. You would think that time heals I guess it all depends on the situation. For me I have constant reminders that he is not here. I was always checking up on him making sure he was taking care of himself. I had to watch him several times try to recover from attempting suicide. When he passed I lost myself as well. I had to take care of everything. I alone had to hold his remains and put them out to sea. It was the hardest thing I had to do my whole life.
