Patience is a gift that a Hero can obtain,
A gift that is given when you overcome pain.
Time after time, you fight the battles and survive,
In a way, …

About Me
I am a 24-year-old college student who is divorced, a survivor of cancer, a survivor of a horrible car accident, a mother, a book reader, and what else. I love dogs, horses, and deer; I love writing poetry and singing; I love nature; I'm working toward a bachelors in Counseling and will be graduating this fall; I listen to all sorts of music; I attend church regularly; and I am a good listener, I think.

As Her Head Falls
April 10, 2009 7:25pm
Her eyes glisten fresh in the early morning dew
As she timidly takes a step to get a better view.
Her young eyes innocently rest on the grass sparkling …

White, black, crimson, or blue;
What color heart is the one for you?
Do you want a heart that will last through any storm,
Or do you just want a heart …

Now I lay Thee Down to Sleep, I Pray The Lord My Sould to Keep
April 10, 2009 7:10pm
Never have I sought to wonder
On the reason for a slip or blunder.
Wafting tears were merely blights.
I never dreamed they would haunt my nights.
Lord in …

Treasure Box

I open the lid to see what I can see,
And out comes pain and misery.
The pain is so unbelievable; harsh and cold,
The misery is taunting; daring and …

Close Blindness & Visual Impairment
Type: Totally BlindI was diagnosed with retinoblastoma at the age of 9 months. I received chemotherapy, radiation, laser treatment, and cryotherapy. In the end, I lost the vision in both eyes, but I am alive; that's what matters. I have always embraced my life and did not let the blindness slow me down. I try to use my blindness to encourage others when I can, but I will not lie, I have mmy moments of wondering what it would be like to have vision. Though life can still be beautiful even without light.
Treatments
- Laser Surgery Working / Worked
- My cancer was too far advanced for the treatment to be much success.
Close College Stress
I am a senior working toward my Bachelors in Human Resources Counseling. I find it very hard to juggle my kids, my school, and my other responsibilities. I get stressed a lot, and I just want to be successful, but with some many things hanging in the balance, I just feel overwhelmed sometimes.
Treatments
- Support from Friends & Family Somewhat Helpful
- Family is great, but I hate asking them for too much.
Open Family & Friends of Cancer Patients
I was diagnosed with cancer at 7 months, and now at 24, I have been cancer free for 21 years. My son inherited the same cancer that I had as a child. He had Chemo, and he at age 3 has been cancer free for 2 years. We still go to St. Jude every 8-10 weeks for a check-up and that is hard, but thank God for the miracle of healing!
Open Incest Survivors
When I was about 6-7, my oldest brother began molesting me. I know I have blocked many of the memories, but I remember enough that it has haunted me my entire teenage and adult years. It's hard, so hard, but I try dealing with it on my own. No one knows in my family, and I always intend to keep it that way.
Open Physical & Emotional Abuse
My father was a very angry man and he took his anger out on his family in many ways. He was so skilled at verbal abuse. He could make you feel like a worm with only a few words. The physical abuse was not as often, but it did happen. He broke my wrist when I was nine. When I was a senior, he beat me with a metal bar because he found out that I was attending school in another state. He passed away last summer. I realized then, that I still loved my dad, and I only wish he could have been happy.
Treatments
- Forgiveness Working / Worked
- I began praying about it after my dad died, and I think I have forgiven him completely. I just still feel so sad and empty sometimes when I think about my childhood.
Open Single Parenting
I got a divorce about a year ago, and my X walked away and never looked back. He left his two children without a blink. He was involved in some internet Porn junk that was more important than his family. I am now the only one the kids have as a parent.
Open Accidents
About 4 and a half years ago, I was in a severe car accident. We were hit head on, and the impact was about 130 MPH. I had 15 broken bones from the waste down. I spent 4 months in a wheel chair, and I will never be 100% again. It was a very traumatic time, and it hurts still to think of the events.
Treatments
- Physical Therapy Working / Worked
- I had impatient as well as home physical therapy, and it did help me a great deal in my recovery. It's hard at first, but you will build you're confidence as time passes.
Open Breakups & Divorce
My divorce was finalized in May of last year. My X was a liar, a cheat, and to put a long story short, a very sick individual. It was a very difficult time, and I may never get over all of the fears I have from that time.
Treatments
Open Eye Cancers (Retinoblastomas)
My father had Retinoblastoma as an infant. He did not know it could be passed to offspring. I was diagnosed at 9 months. I also have a son who was diagnosed at 16 days old. He has been cancer free for 2 years now.
Treatments
- Chemotherapy Not Working
- The Chemo worked somewhat but the seeding in my case was too severe. It did work on my son and he is now cancer free.
Open Kids With Cancer
My 3-year-old son was diagnosed with cancer (Retinoblastoma) when he was 16 days old. He has now been cancer free for 2 years, but we still travel about once every 8 weeks to St. Jude's for a check-up which is done as an EUA.
Open Life After Divorce
My divorce was finalized last May, and since then, I have just been trying to figure out which direction my life should take. It's hard, confusing, and scary out there.
Open Parenting Preschoolers (3-5)
I have a 3-year-old son and a 5-year-old daughter. They are wonderful but are also little mysteries sometimes. It will be great to know other people who can understand some of the challenges.
Treatments
- 1-2-3 Magic Working / Worked
- It works with my daughter because she will usually hop right on whatever I ask when I start counting. My son on the other hand is a bit less cooperative.
- Child Time-out Working / Worked
- It seems to work ok with my daughter, but my son, once again, is very stubborn.
- Education (School) Working / Worked
- I started my daughter in preschool at 3. She loved it and is doing great! My son will be starting in August, and I think it is a great benefit to children of this age.
- Patience Working / Worked
- I try it, but it's tough. Try using the time-out on yourself before disciplining. Patience is a virtue, but it's hard to keep at times.
