Most people knew me as Terry, not Theresa.
The question asks, what have I been up to since I've graduated. I became Cosmetologist, I loved it but it was difficult for me being a redhead because I was extremely allergic to color. Even upon using gloves and once washed off, It still left me broken out to the point I had to stop. There isn't any money in doing cuts only, back then you just couldn't tell someone else to do your color for you. My dermatologist told me that redheads are the most allergic people in the world.
Then I worked in the funeral industry. It was beautiful and rewarding. Even though it was the most difficult time in someone's life, when they had a death in their family, I was the person at the home that would take care of the family. They had to choose how the person would to rest and where they would be laid to rest. They can choose to do this ”pre-need” beforehand or before you die, ”at need” when you die. The difference is incredible! When you buy pre-need you pay monthly slow, 3, 5, or 10 years. If something should happen to you and you're in good health, it's automatically paid in full. Even if you're not good health, this will work for you as well. Your payments will differ slightly from a healthy person. The wonderful thing is, your locking in today's prices, for something that is probably not going to happen for a very long time! Say your parents are older of course, isn't it better to plan and get the details planned now. Where the money coming from? Do you have enough money for them? Do they have enough money for their services? I've been through this a thousand times with families. Plan Ahead!
Well, I became disabled because I was run over by a drunk driver as a pedestrian. This happened to me 7 years ago, and I'm just struggling to get my life back. You really can't tell from the outside thankfully, but I suffer with constant daily pain and some other issues as well. The man who hit me had already lost his license because of repeated drunk driving offendences and then he attempts to speed off, my husband witnessed the entire incident, then he had to ran after him on foot! Unbelievable! Well, the guy spent 5 months in jail and the sad part about it is, my attorney said, he wouldn't have spent anytime in jail if he had a good attorney. Anyway, the Dr.'s and the nurses at the hospital called me the miracle lady, I spent 2 months in the hospital and they told my husband that I wouldn't live! In fact I did die for a time, it's completely documented in my records. But when I did die, I spoke to Jesus Christ one on one. He showed me things in the future things, personals and things concerning my husband and I. He also told me how extremely important it was to drink plenty of fresh clean water. So I thought this story might be interesting to some of you, I could go into a lot more details but that's the bare bones of it. I believe that I will write a book concerning the things, that He told me. Blessings to all..
