Little did I know when ABC affiliate, News Channel 3 schedule the interview with me, that it would be just one day after my daughter Jamie's accused killer would be arrested. It had been nearly 3 years since her murder, and after making peace with the possibility that he would never be arrested. It was an emotional day, but I hope this interview gives you some hope for whatever you face today.

My life didn't start out on a high note. I was raised in the Puget Sound area, north of Seattle by a very young single-mother, whose dreams of college and whatever else a smart young girl might dream of, were replaced by three mouths to feed. My mom taught us the incredibly valuable lessons of hard work, honesty, cleanliness, and manners. But, she was depressed, and money was very tight. Life was chaotic and even scary at times.

 

Living on the Roller Coaster From Hell for more than a decade because of my daughter, Jamie's addiction, I gave up on being happy, peaceful, or living a life that mattered. Finally, at my lowest point, I found a tiny bit of hope and a shred of confidence and stood up. I clawed my way through the darkness and learned to live again.
