    About Me

    I am a progressive, open-minded, outdoor-loving, earth-mother, semi - computer geek chick with a plus size pin up exterior . I’m slightly educated but unpretentious, an artist, hot springs seeker, sun bather and all around culture-vulture. Why I am here: My 13 year old son "Evan" died of Cancer suddenly on Dec. 11th 2005. I woke up to him calling my name. He could not breathe, I called his dad (who worked 60 miles away), then 911. He collapsed on our living room floor and I started CPR. The Paramedics came and tried everything for 30 minutes. But I knew he was dead....I felt his soul leave his body while I was giving CPR. After the autopsy , they said it was a cancerous tumor around his heart that doubled in size every 12 hours for one month until it exploded his heart. He was not sick just a little tired the week before..... we had no idea. My son died before he could drive, start high school, have kids.....find his glory or make mistakes. My sweet boy....my beautiful boy. .....it wrecked my family....trying to pick up the pieces somehow. Trying to find who I was "before" and who I am now
