Born on October 24, 1961 at 11:54 PM. The last of 4 kids to be born to
Waymond and Tilda in the little town of Columbia Heights, Louisiana.
The baby...my siblings called me..."the only child." Don't know why
they called me that. It's a 7 year difference betwix the eldest
sibling and me. The daughters conquered the beginning and the last
birthrights with the sons being squeezed somewhere in the middle. Life
was filled with cousins! My mom was the 9th of 13 children and my
father was the last of 8. Be it safe to say, I had to marry someone
that wasn't born in Louisiana to make sure that I wasn't related to
them! 17, I graduated Caldwell Parish High School went right on to
Northeast Louisiana University...experienced a little life and married
at the ripe old age of 18. 21, beautiful Gabrielle Lauren was born.
23, handsome Jeremiah Dustin arrived. Needless to say, I grew up very
quickly. 27, I became a Licensed Practical Nurse. 29, a Registered
Nurse. Louisiana and Florida were the life migratory states. 36,
midlife crisis came about. 1st marriage ended. 38, had to go out of
state again to make sure that I did not marry a relative and 2nd
marriage began. 44... gorgeous granddaughter Ava was born. 48...cutie
pie Quinn arrives. Believe me, there was plenty of life intermingled in
those first 50 years...good and bad, but that's how life is. Now, the
next 50...let the rest of my life begin.
