In the beginning of December 2010, I got a phone call that changed my life forever. On December 9th my sister called me and told me my other sister past away. She told me our sister committed suicide just two days before. It was one of the hardest things I ever had to hear.
I love my sister so much and just wish I could have done something to help her. I feel I should have been there more for her. They say things get easier as time goes on, but for me every day gets harder and harder. Every night I cry myself to sleep because I miss my sister and just want her back. I never imagined anything like this could ever happen to my family. March is going to be a hard month for me because my sister loved St Patricks Day and Ireland. She even lived in Ireland for a while.
Now in honor of my sister I have a goal to walk in the 2011 Suicide Prevention Walk in Allentown, PA. I want to try and raise as much money as I can so that other familys dont have to go through what my family went through. I also want to talk to people about suicide and what I went through with my sisters death.
I may be one person but I truly feel I can make a difference.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
YES, you most certainly CAN!!! I'm sure your sister is watching over you full of pride! Do you have a web page set up for the walk? If so, what's the name?
As for it getting easier, it's still so new Life23. Please remember to be gentle with yourself and your thoughts. It's going to take time for the hurt to begin not hurting "so much"
Sending encouragement hugs your way!
