Diane Arthur

On today's episode of Hangout with Sujata, Diane Arthur joins Sujata to share her special story. Diane in her own words: "I am 49 but going to be 50 on July 26! I am the oldest of identical twins and my identical twin her name is Dione F Arthur! We were born with a first dissect which I call are super power and it is called aniridia which means no iris! I could see quite a bit growing up but as I’ve gotten older my eyes have gotten worse! I married once right out of high school but it lasted only 2 1/2 years! In those 2 1/2 years of marriage I met my daughters father William. We started dating a year after my divorce was over with in 95 ! I then got pregnant in March 1997 and had my daughter in December 1997! She ended up with the same birthday fact super power aniridia that my sister and I both have! William helped raise her till the age of 3 1/2 up north in Ohio until he decided to leave us for someone else! So from 3 1/2 years of age I raised her all by myself with a little bit of help from my parents down in Florida where my daughter Victoria and I moved back to! Things were good until the age of 16 when my sister died then that’s when things changed in my home and Victoria started having lots of problems! I eventually at the age of her being 22 I had to put her in a group home! Now that my daughter is not here I am trying to deal with my sisters death and also the change in My Home without my daughter being here! I go to Clubhouse to connect with people and to share my sister story and how I celebrate her by singing to her every day!
