Call For Help Stories

  • Journal Entry for March 27, 2008

    Thursday, March 27, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    I can see it in your eyes,
    Grim prospects, the future's unclear,
    All hope has gone,
    Now all I can see is fear.
    Everything is breaking down,
    Sense of reality:
    Shattered on the ground.
    As you lay there,
    People stop and stare;
    Not lending a hand;
    Not giving a care.
    You're dragging me with you,
    Too much sacrifice have I gone through,
    This is not my way,
    So I can't stay.
    I'm sick of this life,
    Get out...

  • Gary has been admitted to hospital.

    Friday, August 8, 2008 | A Call For Help story

    I took Gary into the hospital and it's a good thing that I insisted. He has 3 blood clots. 2 on left lung and 1 on right.  The doctor told Gary he is lucky that I took him in because it could have been tragic.  He is in Intensive Care and I don't know for how long.  I will try to post messages when I come home and take care of the cats.
    Thank you all for pushing me to pust ...
