I never dreamed at 79 years old I would begin that journey. When I left home at 18 years old I started nursing school and succeeded in becoming a nurse. I met and married my husband while working at my first hospital. We strived hard to have a good life and were blessed with two daughters a long the way. I was always a determined person and was always committed to doing my best. After I retired my dream to move to a warm climate was my goal, since my husband and I spent our working years in a northern state. We fulfilled that dream and I now reside in Florida. I am 82 years old now and my life has taken many turns, but the one thing that never changes for me, is I love life.weniger sehen
