I live in East Texas. I'm in a wheelchair with Spastic Quad Cerebral Palsy. CP is a loss or deficiency of motor control with involuntary spasms caused by permanent brain damage present at birth. While giving birth, mom's umbilical cord got wrapped around my neck, thus causing the CP. I also had pneumonia, and my hips were out of socket. I almost didn't make it. The doc even had the audasity to tell my parents that I would have been better off dead. How wrong was he!!! I've always wanted to meet him just to show him how wrong he was. Then, the nurses had me strapped flat on my back. When my grandmother saw me, being an RN, she knew that they had to keep turning me since I had pneumonia....so she told them off. Before she knew it, I had been turned!
I was a patient from six months until I aged out at the age of 18. Shrinner's is a hospital for disAbled children, and burned patients. They help children, free of charge to their parents. I believe they really helped me. I have lots of memories there. I didn't like being in the hospital (who does?) But the two things I liked was getting a bedtime snack, and having the luxury of eating breakfast in bed!
I started pre-k when I was 3. My first experience with expressing words was through a typewriter. Even before I knew how to read I was pecking at keys. I guess I thought I knew what I was doing! Later, a picture of me next to my typewriter was published in the newspaper.
Then, in 3rd grade I was given a computer to use at school. I loved it so much that I wanted one at home. I thought it would be so great. A few years later, I got my wish. An Apple Computer was in my bedroom. My big thing was writing in my diary, which I started when I was in 6th grade. I have 2 binders filled with my memories, and still there's no ending. I wrote my first story on the Apple.
Yes, I love angels. One look at my webpage pretty much tells of my love for angels. My bedroom has the same effect, due to my angel wallpaper, and angel dolls. I tend to use the word "angel" in my screennames. There have been some who has taken it the wrong way. They think that I think I can do nothing wrong. I have been asked if I talk to angels. My answer is no. I like angels because they are of God. When I think of angels, I think of God and His endurring love. So, I can't think of anything better to collect. When people learn that I collect angels I hope they see my love for God.
As you may already know, I love to write. I hope to attend college to study english and writing. I'm still unsure when I will be able to do this. There are times when I think I will never attend college. Sometimes I want to give up, yet something deep inside keeps me going. One of my dreams has been to have my writing published... And it has come true.. I have a book titled "Words of My Heart" which is a collection of poetry and short stories. God put peole in my life who would help. I'm on my way. All thanks are to be given to The Author of my life.
