ANNA’S MIRACLES

About the Book

Anna’s Miracles is the auto biography of my life. I have tried to tell the simple story of how my husband. Stuart and I, fell in love and lived an adventurous life. We were both raised on ranches in West Texas Hill Country and when we became adults and married, we moved out of our comfort zone and embraced a world far different than what we knew as children. We fi rst went to California, then to Washington, D. C., and later to other parts of the United States, including Alaska. My husband helped build a tracking station for the Air Force in Pretoria, South Africa, and in Alaska. Stuart was a Tech Rep for Philco/Ford Corp; and we went from one state to another as the job required. I was expected to set up housekeeping under various conditions, some were not so easy, like living in Alaska and having to commute from one island to another by sea plane.. Having to pack up and move whenever a job opened up even if it meant having to follow Stuart later and not move with him. We managed to stay together and make a good life for ourselves wherever we happened to be.. I have documented our many moves and our life as it fi nally settled down and we found home back in Texas to raise our two daughters. Stuart became a Space Scientist at NASA still employed by Philco/Ford/Loreal/Aerospace Division. In 1993, I was diagnosed with Stage IV, Non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. The Doctors at MD Anderson Cancer Center found cancer in both sides of my backbone and bone marrow, fi ve tumors in my head, and 89 lymph nodes with cancer from the neck down. I entered a 10 year Clinical Trial, and I was the only patient to survive . My Doctor told me that “My Jesus must have healed me, he could not explain why I was still alive. Our family faced many diffi culties during our life but we made it through by believing in God and trusting in Him . I hope my Journal brings hope to those who have diffi culties and think that they are alone. God is real and still answers prayers today.

About the Author

This is my journal of my life; it begins when I was a seventeen year old senior in high school and continues throughout my life until today when I am an eighty year old senior citizen. It just hits some of the high spots but it will allow my children and grandchildren to experience the challenges that we faced in the pursuit for our goals in life and how my husband and I accomplished them or didn’t. My husband and I always felt like we had a great life and we really enjoyed each other and each day we spent together. Faith, Hope, and Charity were all a part of our lives. We had a strong belief in God and we tried to live by His Commandments. We failed many times but we never stopped trying to do the right thing, and we always came back and asked His forgiveness and started anew. You will find a lot of Miracles in this story, as we share our life’s experiences with you. You decide which are supernatural. I think they all were.
