I give up...

    Rek - Funny post... Yeah, my real mom is dead, too. Not to be morbid, but I got to see my mother's dead body when I was 5. Never met my real dad. My "parents" are really my grandparents, I am adopted. Death is just a phase, not scared of it, just gonna miss the the people I love that leave me behind. When mom and dad die, it will be just me and Emmie, all alone, and that is a scary thought. Dad's heart muscle is dying - he has a pace-maker and defribrilator to boot.

    Everybody - I opened my e-mail box, and I was overwhelmed. Flooded with e-mails, started crying my eyes out. Thank you all so much for the letters, means SO MUCH to me. Hugs to you all, thanks for being a big bright spot in my day.


    Kisses,
    Amanda

    Hang tight. I have been there, but it is finally getting better for me. I know it will also get better for you. Just hold on to hope, and keep that little Emmie in your heart and hold her close. She is what keeps you going and she needs you to be strong.

    If you need to vent more, just send an e-mail. You have been there for me and I think it's time I return the favor.

    HUGS TO ALL OF YOU

    I think I need to relax and stop whining. *sigh* Easier said than done tho. But Xander was right, stuff could get much worse, so I will just have to roll with the punches.

    I am not strong, not by any means, I just get by like everybody else. You all have helped me perk up quite a bit.

    I need to stop whining about what I don't have I guess. I could loose EVERYTHING tomorrow. I could loose everyone I love, my job, loose my home, my car, EVERYTHING. So why not enjoy all of these things while I still have them.

    Life is to be cherished, not whined over.

    Sorry folks, again for my pity party. Am I still down, yeah, of course, but... it'll be OK.

    Hugs,
    Amanda

    You're never really alone, though. You're parents will always be with you, and we are here, too.

    But Xander was right, stuff could get much worse

    Well, that's not QUITE what I was hoping you'd get out of that, but....

    Life is to be cherished

    That's the spirit. No matter how bad things get, there is always life. Not sure how it is down where you are (heavy urbanization or not), but up here, we have quite thick forests just teaming with animals.

    Nothing brings back energy you've lost like walking through a cool, shady forested ravine and hearing all the life around you.

    Amanda, you are among friends here. If you feel the need to wine, go ahead. Sometimes just getting it out helps us feel better. If it makes you feel better, by all means, let it out.

    The important thing is to not take such things for granted. I know when it gets REALLY hard, you can sometimes look at everything you have, measure it against what you are losing, and wonder if it is really worth it to keep trying. (It is, btw)

    It's a human fault that we tend to only appreciate something when we lose it, or face the prospect of losing it. Try to find that appreciation in everything, every day. A LOT easier said than done, I know, especially once you start working and the trials of day to day life get you down.

    Our best wishes are with you - I hope you find some peace.

    You have every stress factor a person could have.You may consider some crisis counseling. All this may be too much to bear right now all alone.

    Remember you are not alone. My thoughts are with you as so many others are. I hope things turn around and things pick up a bit for you.
