additional information
In the interim after the death of my parents, until present day, I traveled to multiple locations in my car with my dog for about a year. I absorbed the comfort of my newly acquired independence during this time.
Around this time, an Aunt's death led me to Buffalo N.Y., where I spent approximately five months cleaning, organizing, selling and settling her estate. Living there for that time I acquired close friendships with the neighbors and connected with my cousins. These relationships are ongoing and so special to me.
I then traveled to Florida where I spent a month and knew that the beach is where I wanted be. Last November I moved from Cherry Hill and now reside in Margate City, N.J. I am acquiring new friendships and exploring my new environment.
This interim time was an enriching part of my life, where I made some amazing memories and connections!
