Although I don't engage in Social Media due to hurt feelings and revelations, I do share my stories and pictures with as many people as I can.  I was born in NC, and have lived in WV, HI, Japan, CA, WA, AZ, CT, and MN.  I am the Granddaughter of the late Francis and Irene Haar who were also my adoptive parents in early Childhood.  I sustained a TBI in 1983, and have loved creatures of all kinds since I can remember.  I absolutely Love Animals. 
I suffered years of repeated Trauma and severe abuse. Left home at age 14. My son was born when I was 16, at Kapiolani Children's hospital in Honolulu.  I haven't been able to get back to where I lived with my Grandparents since I left.  I never dreamed of a Day where Climate change, pollution, extinctions, could change so much during my lifetime.  We must rise above the past, to facilitate a better future. It matters not what color we are, what religion we subscribe to, or what our Nationality may be or we are doomed as a species.  We all have limitations, yet to survive we have to attempt to evolve to save ourselves!
