DECEMBER 18, 2023

My son and his family live in Montana. I had two older siblings, but my sister passed away in a car accident in 2000 and my brother passed away from MS in 2020 so now I’m an only child. That’s easy, my mom and growing up in the PNW. I’ve been divorced (unmarried) for 15 years. Wow, time flies.
