Hello. My name is Frances. I'm a 63 year old widow that lives in Michigan. I have 5 children and 8 grandchildren that I absolutely adore. I'm unable to work due to back injuries five years ago. I was a nurse-aide. I'd love to get to know everyone.

Hello Frances! It sounds like you have a very full life! Are you enjoying your grandchildren? I have one set of grandparents and I absolutely adore them. My name is Amber and I actually had to go on disability two years ago. I'm only 27, and it was a major blow, but after several years of trying, I'm finally able to get the medical care I needed without worrying about the cost! Hopefully, I'll be able to get off of it some day soon! The last job I had was at a children's mental hospital, although I worked in the front office, not in any medical capacity. I hope you enjoy mylot, and I hope you'll accept the friend request I send you. : )

Thanks AmbiePam. You are so young to be disabled; I sure hope things improve for you. Yes, I do enjoy my grandchildren. The four youngest ones will all turn seven this year. Then I have a 9,12,15 and 18 year old. When they are all here; it's a very noisy time. Right now I have here the twins that turned seven in May,my grandson that will turn seven in Sept. and my 12 yr old grandson. I'm happy that you are getting the medical care you need now and not having to worry about the cost. Working at a children's mental hospital was probably both sad and rewarding; whether in the office or the medical capacity. It's hard to see people; especially children who are in need of help. I worked in a nursing home. We had some fairly young people in their. The youngest was 18 when she was admitted. The oldest was in their 100s.

Hi Frances, I'm 53 and live in south Florida. My husband was a widower when we met so we're a blended family of six children and 8 grandchildren, with number 9 on the way. Some of our children & grandchildren are up north in Maryland and some are here. It's nice to meet you and I hope you enjoy participating in the discussions on mylot!
