Some of you who already know me are aware that we lost our daughter, Chrystal, due to an accidental overdose of prescription pain, antidepressant & sleeping medications. I can say that before this, I took life for granted. We always think that we'll do better tomorrow. Sometimes, tomorrow never comes. I have learned that life is much too short to remain angry. I've always tried to live by the two greatest Commandments: Love God with your whole mind, your whole heart & your whole soul; Love your neighbor as yourself, as He loves you. My husband & I care for 2 autistic adults, my son & his brother. Jack does most of the work with them, which allows me to work as a home care nurse. He is a remarkable man who once said that my son has one foot with us & one with the angels. I think he's right. He has the hardest job, & most of the time, he has the patience of Job. He also takes pics for my listings, so all I have to do is point & click. Thanks, Honey.
