Miss Mary T says
Good morning! I am 55 years young and live in Warwick Rhode Island. I too have very little free time, but when I do I am spending time playing with my 3 young grandchildren and/or spending quiet time with our Lord! Cherish the moments!
Cindy says
Hi, Miss Mary T. – Praise God for you! What’s it like living in such a small state? Amen to “Cherish the moments!” God bless you richly! I am 56 and live in Wild, Wonderful West Virginia.
Miss Mary T says
Hi Cindy! RI may be the smallest state but there is always something big going on…lol! I love my city of Warwick. I am a special education teacher assistant for 31 years. I educate and care for medically fragile children. One of whom is my oldest grandson Andrew. He was born with an extremely rare genetic disorder.. a neuromuscular syndrome so rare that there is no documented research of any child surviving past 3 months old. The Lord has blessed us with Andrew’s strength and undying spirit. Although he cannot move other than slight movements of hands and feet, he can move his head a bit and communicates using an eye gaze computer. He just turned 5 and is cognitively age level. He is inspiring and blessed. I lost two of my students this year to the medical issues of their rare genetic disorders so I truly do cherish every moment. I love and miss my little Jayla and Eddie! Thanks for letting me share all this with you! Hope life in West Virginia is less stressful in a less stressful way! Please share a little more about yourself…
