Angelina

Libby's story begins as an energetic teen, frolicking through those carefree, formative years. Young, anxious to be married, the reality of home life proved disappointing and all too soon, their lives were filled with mistrust, lies and deception. In spite of their efforts to "try again", Libby and Nathan's troubled life was constant turmoil. Baby Angelina, was a respite from God. The tiny angel gave Libby a reason to press on. Libby oft times carried painful bruises. Her life was sometimes in danger from Nathan's drunken tantrums. Many nights, Nathan's side of the bed lay undisturbed. Work at his auto repair shop came first. It was not unusual for him to fall asleep, wrench in hand, laying on his roll-around work creeper.
