  • night mares??

    Wednesday, August 6, 2008 | A Sad story

    I am having really bad dreams Verging on night mares.  I don't understand them at all.  People who I have lost to death are in these dreams, but there still dead but they are alive.  I have them back for a day for some reason.  I wake up half wanting the dream to be true and half in a cold sweat.  I don't understand them.  My mother in law seems to be the one...

    I guess this is the best color to use in wriing in my journal today. I usually use green which means GO as in a go light that has a yellow and a green light on it.

    The old man passed away this morning about 3:30.  Been busy making arrangements and spreading the word.  I'm exhausted just thinking about all that needs doing.  At least the hardest part is over with, now I've got to deal with his estate but I'm not anticipating too much difficulty.

  • May I am toooo Harsh with Care Giver's

    Sunday, January 18, 2009 | A Sad story

    I just wrote a response to a young lady that is not dealing well with a relative's having alzheimer's. Sometimes I think maybe I am not understanding enough of loved one's of people with this nasty disease. I guess I am so blessed with the people around me and my family. They just take my illness as a matter of fact, knowing they can not do anything about it and we just try to keep on...

    I want to apologize for not being around much.  I have just came in done what I hadd to do and left and not been much support for anyone and  I am sorry.  I am tired of pain.  I have laid in my bed numerous time asking the Lord just to take me own home.  He must not want me yet cause here I still set and in pain. 
    I apologize for those who feel I took them for grante...
