Back To Hope's Room

I am 54 years old and I was born in Texas.  I married right out of high school
to a country and western singer, Isacc Peyton Sweat.  He made the "Cotton
Eyed Joe" famous again.  I have one son by Ikey and his name is Sean Sweat,
36 years old.  Ikey was killed when Sean was 25 years old.
  We all suffered much with this.

I divorced Ikey when Sean was 3 years old because he had such a drug
addiction and I could not live like that with a young son.  I moved to Houston
and worked in night clubs to make a living and went to college in the day.
  My sister, was living in Las Vegas at the time and I moved to live with her
because of the money opportunities there.  I worked at the MGM Grand Hotel
and the Riviera Hotel. We stayed there about 1 and a half years and then I
moved back to Houston.  I worked at a really nice Luncheon Club called the
"Red Baron" for years and got tired of club life and moved back home,
close to my Mom and Dad.

And then my life began because I meant Jack, a commercial diver and my husband
of which, I have 3 beautiful teanage boys from.  We are very blessed.

~*~*~ A Little More About Me ~*~*~
I love the Lord, Jesus Christ

I am a divided soul !   I love Country and I also love Victorian !
I love Children of all ages and animals.  I love cats but I cannot get near them
because I am allergic to them.  Which is such a shame because I would love to pet them.
  I have 3 dogs, soon I will make them all a page of their own.  I love my husband,
Jack, whom I have been married to for 24 years.  He is my very best friend.  I love my
children.  I have been blessed with Sean, my oldest, 36, from a previous marriage.  I am so
proud that he chose to go back to college.  Jack has 2 daughters from a previous marriage.
  Sandi and Jodi, for some reason the Lord chose not to bless me with girls, so he sent me
these 2 angels instead.  We have been blessed with 3 sons, Zeke, 21 - Ty, 19, - Kirk, 17. 
They are all different and each have their own sweet spirit.  I am a born-again Christian.
  I have a very special guardian angel.  The reason that I know this is because, I was told
that I could never have children after my oldest was born.  My heart would just cry
every time I saw a newborn baby.  Someone, a very special person, my Mom, prayed over
me and I was blessed with 3 special sons. 
  My love to all of you !

*^*^*^* Things I Hate *^*^*^*
Cruelty of all kinds, whether it be to people or to animals.
My heart bleeds every time I hear of a child being abused or neglected.
  These little angels are God's Gift to us.  They did not ask to be brought into this
cruel world.  Wife abuse also upsets me.  No woman deserves to be treated as a rag.
  God blessed us to be the Spirit of the home.  Thank you for taking the time to
read a little about me.

"Time is the greatest gift you can give someone,
and I thank you for your time."
Love, Hope  ~*~  There is always Hope
