LivingAndLovingLife

I was born in 1957 in a small Northern California town, farming country with a Mom and Dad, two brothers and a sister. I knew at an early age I wanted out of my small and wanted more for my life than just getting married and settling down. So after moving to Southern California I met a man and got married...much too young when I look back, but I was in love. Sadly our goals became very different as time went on and at the 5 year mark we divorced.

I had met the love of my life prior to my divorce and it was a whirlwind three years together. We were planning on having children and then he got very very sick. After multiple tests they ran on him, he said they were going to do one for HIV. We agreed it should be done in order to rule everything out....well guess what test came back positive...

Why Neen wants to be a part of A Girl Like Me: I have traveled so many roads and have experienced so much in life with family, friends, jobs, traveling, HIV and meds, related illnesses and side effects, yet I let none of this stop me. I travel, I explore, I thrive, I survive, I love my life...
