HELLO MY NAME IS MARRIE OSMUN-LITTLE AND I AM MARRIED 12 YEARS NOW TO RICHARD LEVI LITTLE.  WE LIVE IN GRAND RAPIDS MICHIGAN.  WHEN WE MET AND 2 YEARS LATER WERE MARRIED, ALL OF OUR CHILDREN WERE GROWN AND LIVING INDEPENDANTELY.  IT IS OUR BELIEF A PARENT IS NOT ONE TO LEAN ON BUT TO MAKE LEANING UN-NECESSARY BETWEEN THE TWO OF US WE HAVE 10 CHILDREN.  WE LOVE THEM ALL THEY ARE ADULTS, WITH FAMILIES OF THEIR OWN.  RICH AND I RUN A DJ BUSINESS AND ENJOY DOING WEDDINGS AND WE HAVE A SINGLES DANCE WE RUN EVERY SUNDAY NIGHT AND HAVE ABOUT 200 TO 300 SINGLES, THIS DANCE HAS BEEN GOING SINCE 1984.  RICH AND I HAVE A GREAT LOVE OF THIS COUNTRY AND SEEING IT'S BEAUTY EVEN THOUGH SOME TIME AGO WE HAD TO CHANGE OUR PLANS FOR BUYING A HOME IN THE COUNTRY DUE TO A LIFE THREATENING ALLERGY THAT I MUST BE WITH IN 20 MINUTES OF EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE.  THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY TO HAVE YOUR DESIRES MET, MINE HAS BEEN TO REDECORATE MY HOME AND HAVE COLORS AND PHOTO'S OF THE GREAT BEAUTY GOD CREATED. 

RECENTLY I SENT A EMAIL REGARDING SOME PHYSICAL ISSUES I AM DEALING WITH.  RECENTLY I TURNED 55 MY HUSBAND IS A YOUNG 67.  WE HAVE A LOVE OF LIFE, FAMILY, AND GOD.  WE HAVE A WONDERFUL GROUP OF FRIENDS, HOWEVER WE DO NOT GET TO SEEM THEM MUCH DUE TO A CURRENT HEALTH ISSUE THAT I HAVE.     

WE LOVE OUR CHILDREN AND GRAND CHILDREN, AND SPEND TIME WITH THEM. WE DO NOT SPOIL WITH GIFTS, AND CONSTANTLY BUYING THEM THINGS.  WE DO OCCASIONALLY FULFILL NEEDS THAT MAY ARISE, WE ARE ALWAYS THERE AS A SOUNDING BOARD WHEN NEEDED BUT WE ARE NOT THEIR DECISION MAKER THEY ESPECIALLY MY THREE ARE VERY QUALIFIED TO MAKE THEIR OWN DECISIONS AND SOLVE THEIR OWN PROBLEMS. WE DO HAVE A LIFE OUT SIDE OF THE CHILDREN.

RICH AND I LOVE TO DANCE, CAMP, VISIT FAMILY, TRAVEL  AND JUST HANG OUT TOGETHER.  YES WE DO HAVE OUR DAYS WHEN THERE ARE ARGUMENTS, WE CAN AGREE TO DISAGREE.  AS HE AND I SIT HERE IN THE OFFICE TOGETHER HE KNOWS I HAVE SENT A REQUEST FOR SOME MEDICAL HELP, AS A MATTER OF FACT IS IS MOST LIKELY MORE ENCOURAGING THAN I FEEL RIGHT NOW.

EVEN THOUGH I SUBMITTED A REQUEST FOR HELP, I LET IT GO AND IT'S IN GOD'S HANDS, AND TOTALLY BELIEVE THAT'S ALL I CAN DO TODAY.  THERE IS A MY SPACE PAGE AND I SAY MORE THINGS WITH MUSIC THAN WORDS OR TALKING.  MOST OF THE MY SPACE SITE IS PHOTO'S FROM OUR CAMPING TRIPS, OR WEDDINGS WE HAVE WORKED, FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS IS HAVE MADE, I THINK YOU GET THE IDEA.

EACH MORNING WE GET UP HAVE OUR COFFEE AND DECIDE HOW WE WILL CELEBRATE ANOTHER DAY.  NEGATIVITY IS NOT WHERE WE WANT TO BE.  HOWEVER I MUST ADMIT HAVING THIS HEALTH ISSUE SINCE DECEMBER WITH OUT ANSWERS IS BECOMING EXTREMLY FRUSTRATING.
