I am a 74 year old woman...my name is Ronnie..I write poems and songs..my dream is to write a book or maybe books..I have lived a fascinating life...I have had many wonderful friends and when I was twenty years of age, I was on my own and during the next seven years of my life, I learned many things and met many people from other countries, etc I learned much about different cultures and always felt at home with foreign people...I was from Georgia and believe me I had much to learn...I got married when I was almost 27 years old...we later had a business of our own and the best part of that was the International business...my husband was an engineer and was in the power generation industry....he did very well with his company and became a self made millionaire when he was in his forties...we had it all but it became too much....after almost 24 years of marriage we got a divorce....I never wanted to do this but life was too much with 3 teenage daughters and a man that was never home....when my youngest daughter was a senior in high school we got a divorce...I have been single now for 24 years..he went broke, lost everything and I did too....My daughters had a hard time dealing with our new lives and it affected their futures....I would tell anyone to never divorce unless it is unbearable to live with that person...life is worse down the road for both of you...my middle daughter passed away in 2011, she was 39 years old, this has been very hard on both of us. I now share my home with my oldest daughter who is 45...she has been there for me and although we both have health issues we are survivors....I have faith that God will take care of us and my other daughter and her family...this is not all about me, I have had the most wonderful life a woman could have...God has answered all my prayers and always taken care of me...I still plan to write a book soon....until then, Ronnie
P.S. I have four beautiful grandchildren, I don't see them much, but pray for them daily..
