I'm a retired nurse having been in the profession for 35 years I'm a mother of 3 (now adult) children., an adopted son and 2 daughters.I have 2 still living at home so it looks like I will never be an "empty nester". I've been happily married to my high-school sweetheart for 40 years. I am looking forward to the birth of my first grandchild, a girl in April 2009
