Leandra

I just turned 58, am widowed and live with my 7 cats and 2 dogs. I spent my younger years raising 2 boys and now have 1 grandson. In 1984 I became a Registered Nurse and have worked mostly with the elderly. Recently, I've earned 2 forensic nursing certificates and hope to become a board certified forensic nurse someday. My real interest lies in death investigations. I love to listen to audio books, read, crochet and just hang out at home with my animals.

"I remember listening to that song years ago and being revived by it. I should try to find it on Itunes or something because I am in a B side right now. I lost my husband to suicide, my mom died this past Jan., my sister has cut me off and since my so..." (read comment)

"I really liked your thoughts about giving with love even if you get nothing in return. When my grandkids came alone I was giving and giving and never got any acknowledgement that they even received what I gave. For her 1st Mother's Day I sent my DIL ..." (read comment)
