Somewhere along her growing up years she had her self-esteem pretty badly beaten up and ended up marrying a good for nothing drunk, a likable drunk but worthless just the same. She gave him three beautiful little girls and he gave her nothing but heartaches. I would go into more detail but I don't think she wants the world to know how really rotten he was.
Needless to say when the baby was still a toddler she left him. Fortunately she met and married a good man who took the girls in as his own. No, that's not the end of the story, only the beginning.
Mary was determined to never put herself in a position where another human being had complete control over her. She worked at night and put herself through nursing school. She read a life changing book and became a vegetarian. (I tried but found it much too difficult.) She felt she needed spirituality in her life but could not relate to Christianity so she studied Wicca. She is now a solitary Wiccan. (Before anyone jumps to conclusions I want you to know this is not Satan worship, merely the old pagan beliefs practiced before Christianity. When she first started practicing Wiccan rituals I was concerned so I did some studying of my own. I wish our Christian friends could say their history was as pure as the Wiccan history. Christians have killed Wiccans but never the other way around.)
Mary is now a petite sassy 50 year young woman with extremely short platinum blond hair with pink highlights. She is the head nurse for the CEO of the medical clinic where she works. She works two jobs so she doesn't have much personal time and yet she always seems to be found wherever the action is. As you may have guessed, Mary was the sister who took me skydiving. Blessed be.
The picture is of my sister Mary and myself at a Halloween party years ago. She was Harpo Marks.
