Summary

I'm a mother of 2 grown adults and a grandmother of 3. We raise 1 of our grandchildren and he is non-verbal autistic. He is 6. Love him so much. My husband plays music and sings so I go watch him play out a lot. By day his job is an engineer. I love to paint. Art is so relaxing to me. I left my job of x-ray technologist because I could no longer lift patients or push and pull them. It was physically affecting me. But things are much better now and I'm so ready to go back to work.
