    • About Me

      I am so blessed. I had been diagnoised with colorectal cancer in 2005 and 2007. I am in remission and I pray that it continues. I lost my daughter to cancer(osteosarcoma in 2003). Life has been hard for me. I dont feel that I should complain. Had it not been for the goodness of God, his Mercy and his Grace, I would not be here today. I found someone on DS that has taken the time to get to know me and I her and it is has turned into one of the best relationships I have ever had in my life. She listens, I mean really listens. Along with her I have gained a son as well, (her husband). I pray everything continues to be strong between us. I am blessed.I have depression and have had it for a long time, I am bipolar.I am looking to talk to others that have dealt with or are dealing with similar issues.

H e also had swore on my daughters life that he hadn't earlier. She at 19 had ostesaccoma(bone cancer) and died at age 19. I have been devistated but I stayed and now 5 years later here we go again. I want out. I think I deserve to be happy in the years I have left...
