Many of you know my husband Mark isn't my son and daughters biological father BUT he's there Dad in every way that counts, they were only 5 and 9 when we got together they're bio father is still around also. My son is 39 today 🎂 his son our grandson Adam was 18 on the 11th and our grandson Mason is going to be 13 this Friday the 25th WOW lots of birthdays AND Lord willing they'll be many more for us to enjoy especially since we've kicked the nicotine poison to the curb permanently! My son had 8 years quit in January, Mark will have 8 years on the 25th of April AND I'll be celebrating 8 years on the 14th of July! I want everyone to be around to celebrate life to the fullest without the damned Nicotine Poison! I really love the thought of being around with the best quality of LIFE possible to enjoy many more birthdays! 🎉🎈🎂🎈🎉 I can't believe the top 2 pics below were 7 years ago....

@MarilynH Wow! Happy Birthday to everybody who had one and congratulations to everyone who’s got all those smoke free years under their belts! Lots of days to celebrate! It’s so wonderful that you have such a large family! I sometimes wish that I had children and grandchildren. One of my few regrets in life is not having kids when I was married, but I had my reasons back then and it may not have been a good thing. And I just never got married again. 

I’m hoping now that with my quitting smoking and quitting drinking, as I feel better I will start to get out and socialize more and maybe meet that special someone to spend my extra years with!💕 if not then that is God‘s will and I still have my sister and my nephews wonderful children to celebrate as they grow up! Family is wonderful💕💕

I'm a proud Gram of 2 grandsons and a granddaughter and I consider myself a jack of all trades and a master of none, plus I enjoy reading and being outside and since quitting smoking breathing is so much easier because I'm not coughing half of my time sucking on a cancer stick....
