I am seventy-eight years old and this is the story of my journey through the decades of my being born during world war II, in the nineteen forty's to today, and the threats we face today; the attack on the family, the drug crisis, the internet, and worst of all the fate of people on this planet losing their faith in God. I went from the warm cocoon of a family who loved and protected me in the nineteen forty's and fifty's to an abused wife of an alcoholic in the nineteen sixty's and seventy's. Even though it was against my faith I got a divorce in the nineteen seventies. I was totally unprepared, for how to support my five children with no education, or job skills except as a housewife. In the nineteen eighty's I met a man who was willing to pull me out of all of the mess I had made of my life, and we married and I began a career and became a grandmother. In the nineteen ninety's my husband succumbed to alcoholism and depression and committed suicide. At the turn of the century in two-thousand, I decided to go back to my original life and became active in my faith. Today that is what sustains me in this crazy world.
