The autopsy reported that she died from a massive epileptic (sp?) seisure.
I didn't know her too well, but what I did know is that she wa...

I found out today that my kidneys are hardening due to the autoimmune diseases. I also have swollen lymph glands obstructing my bowels. The kidney disease is the part I have been afraid of ever since I was dx'd with autoimmune diseases back in 2001.

My grandfather told me off today. I cry thinking about what he said, so hopefully I can just block it out. I don't want to go over it ever again for any reason. He said some pretty terrible things. Things that can never be taken back.

So I found out my mother isn't really just taking my kids to see fireworks... my cousin let it slip that she is having a big cookout tomorrow and everyone is invited except me. She was just pretending to be on my side, and she just wants to let my grandparents take my son to see my ex behind my back. My own mother doesn't believe me that he abused us, or else why would she and my sisters ...1 Recommendation2 Comments

It is just starting to seep out around the edges.I just cannot believe my father is dead. He was so strong, and handsome in my eyes since I was a child. Its ashame we became estranged.
