About Me
- Jgriggs
- I'm 52 years old and I've had a wonderful life. Been married to the same great guy for 36 years. A lot of ups and downs, but we still love each other a lot. I've got 5 sons, ages 17, 19, 22, 25 and 35. Love them all very much. Sad that there is only one left at home. I've been a midwife for 20 years and a nurse for 30 years. Being a midwife has brought me a lot of happiness over the years. Have many friends and clients that I love as sisters. I feel like I am a wise and safe midwife and have a lot of good experience. I love my life. I believe in keeping myself healthy and happy and practicing what I preach.

Jackie,
I (and I speak for my family) are thankful that you are strong enough to take on the awesome responsibities of midwifery. So many women depend on you and your experiences to fulfill our dreams of natural birth. So many doctors don't have faith in the woman's body and aren't strong enough to do what they are trained to do. They fear the insurance companies. They fear malpractice suits. They fear the unknown. I'm sure you have those same fears, but you have not succumbed. I can think of no one who inspires me more. My English classes at school are writing personal narratives, and I always write with them. This year, I'm writing about you and my birth stories. I'm writing about new ideas and new beginnings. Your work touches more than just your clients. Thank you. -Leslie
