This last past year had trully been a bad one for us that's for sure. It started off with me sister getting into trouble and the battle for Cherish between her grandmother who had nothing to do with her till then. Thank God that all worked out and CPS didn't get involved and take her! Then we almost lost Gus, but again we thank the lord that it was just not him time to go!!!! Then my husband totaled his car, I ended up in the hospital having to have emergance surgery, my aunt passed and my father in law is still in the hospital fighting for his life.

With all that has happened I haven't been taking care of myself the way I should. My weight had been like a rollorcoaster. And I can't seem to get well from this damn flue. I know it's becasue I've been a bundle of nerves and not eatting like I should.

I have to look at things in a different matter. My sister will be getting out in September and I hope and pray she has learned and will stay clean for her and her daughter. We have been blessed to have Cherish in a safe and loving home where we don't have to worry about her well being, Gus is here for us to spoil and love and is perfactly healthy and has recovered fully. My husband got a new car to replace is other car thanks to insurance. And my aunt,, well she is with the angels where she will forever be beautiful and is watching over me till I join her one day. As for my father in law,, well we are still working on that one. The family seems to be coming around and being there for him. At least he will not die thinking people didn't care.

See I've started to change already. I just hope I can keep up this frame of mind up and start taking care of myself a bit better too.

I can tell you one thing,,,,,, being a part of this site has done wonders for me that's for sure!!! I have found much joy here and am so greatfull to have come acrosse some wonderful, caring and loving people.

Sorry to have gone on and on but,,, I do feel better getting this all out! You all are so wonderful!!!!!!! Happy holidays to you all.
