Me and My Family

[see all me and my family]

I was born in Rhode Island, where my Dad was a Navy pilot, my Mom a homemaker. I grew up in western New York. I have three brothers, all with families of their own.

I married 25 years ago, but we are divorcing. Nothing too dramatic, we just grew apart. I never expected it.

My first daughter - LM - was born in 1986. She was born with spina bifida. We found out about it the moment she was born. She's had many surgeries, etc. over the years and is now in college. I'm very proud of her. LM has the best memory I have ever seen.

My second daughter - KN - was born in 1991. She is in high school. I'm also very proud of her. KN is very wise - she can read people very well.

Both girls are pretty, shy and artistic. Both have good friends, with LM being the more outgoing one. Just like when they are young like 5 or 6, when you think back to when they were babies, when the kids grow up you also look back and think about the times you had together. I remember we took LM to California and I remember her sitting on the white beach in Santa Barbara. I remember we went to Disneyworld when KN was young, and she fell asleep just before the fireworks.

Both girls are just about grown up now.

I have an apartment. KN has been over once and LM has not been over. While I reach out to my daughters frequently and I miss them an aweful lot, I ...

Hello-

As a new member, here is a short intro.  I have two daughters who are 16 and 21.  Just like the diaper days, this is a new challenge in parenting - these years of my girls in teens/20s.  I am going through a divorce which is also challenging for us all.  I work as a director of product management at a software company.  When I saw minti, I thought I would join and share some of my experiences while I hear the experiences of others.

Regards,

Glenn

PS: One of my nieces - my goddaughter - took my photo.
