Welcome ..
Hi, My name is Betty..I'm from Chicago, Illinois..
I am married to a Chicago Fireman.. Big thanks to the firemen  and firewoman that serve and PROTECT us everyday..They don't hear enough how we appreciate all they do for us..Or how proud we are of everyone of them..
{{{Big thank you, to all of them }}}}} God, watch over you ,and keep you safe.

I am the PROUD Mama of a 21 year old son..He is the greatest son anyone could ask for..He's  my life..I'm Sooooooooooo PROUD of him!

My sister lives with me..She is the best sister in the world..
Sadly, she is my only living relative..The only family I have left except my neices ,and nephews who do not live near me at all..I thank God, I have my sister with me..We are  very close..

MY DAD....MY MOM...MY SISTER, AND BROTHER went to live with the Lord, much too soon..I miss them,  so much ...May, they rest in peace...I'm inspired by my loving, family...Most of my writes, are entwined with my most precious memories of my loving family.

I love writing..If I could reach out or touch one person or their hearts with my writes..I would feel very blessed..

I thank God, for my husband,..my wonderful son, and my loving sister..  They, give me inspiration to write. Along with
my  friends..  But, most of all they give me, LOVE.

I hope you'll stop by in visit my page often..I hope you'll enjoy my poems, and read some of my short stories..

    Hello my friend
    first I thank you for your comment on my poem. I am so greatful there are people willing to take the time to talk to me like you did. I just hate to say I can never forgive this man I call father. Wat that poem failed to tell you was how he put his hands around my neck not once but twice and tryed to choke me. This is something I can not forgive a person for I am his son and he done this fair enough I do not have kids of my own but I would never treat them the way he done to me I doubt I would even let them know there grandfather.
