Hi all,
I have told you before I am from the USA, specifically from South Carolina.
I am one of six Children. Two sisters and Three brothers. The oldest Don
is 21 years my senior, he worked in the boiler repair and construction
business until about two years ago when he retired. He also did some
heating and air work with central systems. Next was my siste Elizabeth,
Elizabeth was 20 years older. She was born with Osteogenesis imperfecta
(Brittle Bones). She had about 250 broken bones by age 14. She passed in
2003 from complications of diabetes and high blood pressure. She was my
Christian mentor for many years. She had a very strong faith and lived her
faith each day. The next was Kenneth, who is an electrician, semi-retired
he is 18 years older than I. He is the sibling that I am closest to. He is
the one who helped nurture me when dad passed away just before I was 12.
Next was Ronald, who was one year younger than Kenny. He passed in 2002
from cancer of multiple abdominal organs. The last of my siblings is Julia,
who although born before me, claims an age of 29. Oh women and their
vanities. She is a case worker now for the local hospital, after many years
of being a registered Nurse she transitioned to a less physically demanding
job. My father, Donnie, passed in 1974, he had been a farmer and a
municipal worker for the water department. My mother, Ruth, passed in 1997.
Mom and I never were very close. After my father's death she was bitter and
sort of soured on life. My father was great, he was always full of joy and
was a funloving easy go lucky guy. I still miss me da even today. I was
born with normal sight. I graduated with a degree in Computer Science and
Mathematics in 1986. I worked in the Information Technology field as a
contract programmer implementing ERP systems for 16 years. I came home and
began teaching middle school math to be at home while my daughter was
growing up. After 4 years of this I started going blind in 2008 and retired
on disability in May 2008. I then went to local blind agency for training
and 3 months after completing training they were opening a satellite center
in my area of the state and I was asked to teach others how to use JAWS,
ZoomText and Guide. I spent some time in the military between high school
and college. That's my story. God has blessed me during my entire life,
even when I did not understand it at the time, he was working to my benefit.
Thank You,
David L. Bailey
