I have 4 children, a son Russ 44, 3 daughters Judith 42, Joy 41, 35 and I have 6 grand children, 3

grandsons Jordan 17, Joshuwa 13 and Jay 2 and I have 3 granddaughters Heaven Leigh 16, DeAndra 13,and Jonna 13 (not twins). I also have 4 children-in-love. I am blessed with a wonderful husband of 25 years who takes good care of me most of the time but who still refuses to talk to me about this disease and the fact that I am in the end stages of the disease and will proberly not make it through 2007. I do know that I will be here as long as God wants me to be here and not one minute longer. I am a Southern Baptist but I do believe in dancing and enjoying life as long as God and Jesus are still honored by what is being done. Until I got sick with the monster I was in the food service business for over 30 years and before that I was in office management. When I was diagnosed I had been working at the best job I have ever had because I got to travel all over the south and the north east as a cook on

a tow boat. I was gone from home for 30 to 60 days at a time but my husband got use to my being gone and we did a lot of traveling when I was home. He is a retired teacher and is also retired from Wal-Mart Distribution. He does a good job at taking care of me and he does all of the laundry and the house cleaning. He just has his head buried when it comes to the finality of this disease. I have a little Shih Tzu named Professor Albert Einstein because he looks like a professor. He is the boss of the family believe me. I enjoy reading and I read a lot since I can't do much else. I paint when I am able and still have to finish my oldest daughters Christmas gift because I gave out of steam before I could finish painting my angle. I will get it finished before her birthday in April I hope. I still like to travel but right now I

just am not able to travel like I did. I like Christian Music and some of the oldies. I get out of the house for about an hour each day when I feel up to it and I pick one of my grand daughters up from school and take her home. I don't have a favorite movie because I don't like to watch movies for some reason. My husband says I can't sit still long enough to watch one. I have always been a very hyper person and it is driving me crazy that I can not be that person any more except in my mind which is never still. I forgot to tell you that my husbands name is . Ron for short. Well enough is enough so I am off of here. Hugs and Prayers! Barbara R IPF 1/2003
