While I have wrestled with God a few times in my life, I have no complaints about how my life turned out. In my early twenties, I told God I would let him decide how best I was to serve in the world, never imagining I would live on three continents, work as a psychiatric nurse, marry a European, raise three daughters and end up close to the ocean in Wilmington, North Carolina. Listening to my daughtersÕ repeated requests, and with the help of my oldest daughter Colette, I have finally set it down in writing. With gratitude for this long Ð age 94 at time of printing Ð precious and bountiful life.
