Hello everybody,

  The kids and I are doing very well.  We have not moved yet, the house is just about ready.  For the most part everything is new.  It's wonderful and the landlord is really doing all he can to make it everything I want.  Very nice and does not mind how or what I do to the inside to make it feel like home for us.  Looks as if I may be selling my current home oppose to foreclosure.  The house is on the market for 139.900 and I owe 121.000.  I have had many calls for people to come see the house.  I am waiting until I move to have families come and look.  They are all willing to wait.

 

  I am working day shift now and loving it.  I am seeing much bigger checks and able to pay all the bills along with the extra's the kids want and what I would like to do as a special something in the house.  All is going very very well and I am very thankful and blessed.

 

  I am also working on my relationship with my daughter's father.  We both love each other very much, but I was not willing to put up with the drinking.  He is in therapy and is 4 months sober.  It's a start, and hopefully some day we will find our way to marriage.  I pray for Larry daily and it's nice to see he is working on his relationship with God.

 

 May 28th Larry's father passed away.  I was there holding his hand as he took his final breathes.   What an honor to be there with him as he completed his journey to God.  I often wonder who is there in spirit as a person meets the end of their journey.  How much love is surrounding you in the room without you actually being aware?  What a question to consider and think about!

 

 God be with you all.  I do read the posts, I just have had such a difficult time finding time anymore with working over 105 hours every 2 weeks.  But, God is blessing me greatly!!

 

Peace and Blessings to you all,

Hi Amy,

Great to hear from you. If you wouldn't mind taking a moment and letting us know how you're doing, I would LOVE to hear how you and the kids are.

 

God be with you on this very difficult anniversary. May God's presence be evident during this time. I hope you don't mind but I wanted to repost your story here. It was so touching to me when you came to the group.

 

Amy, I know you never got to say "good bye" to your dad, but one day you will get to say "HELLO!" I hope in that day you introduce me to your dad. I can't wait to meet him.

 

You are a blessing to us and many other people Amy. Take courage in the Lord and the power of his might.

 

John

Hello everybody.  My name is Amy, I am 33, and I have 3 children.  I would have to say that 2004 was the worst and hardest year I could have ever experienced,  I'm still trying to work through it.  Within 11  months time I lost 3 very important people in my life.  My grandparents, this was rather expected, but even so, that doesn't make it an easy transition.  And, my father passed away very unexpectedly.
My dad was 49, much to young, and so full of life.  The day that all this happened is ingrained in my mind forever.  My brother had called me on the cell phone, asked if August 14,and 15 would be good for camping, that Dad wanted to know.  He told me to call Dad when I got home.  about 40 minutes later, I was home and decided to put the kids to bed first.  The phone rings and it's my other brother from Illinois, saying Dad fell to the ground and EMS was working on him. 
One hour later, my brother calls back and says," How do I tell my sister this, Amy...He's gone"  I was absolutely devastated.  It has been a year this past June 24th, and I still feel just as bad inside
as I did then.
My step mother did not allow a casket type ceremony.  My Dad was cremated, with no visitation, so I never saw my dad after he passed.  I never got to say goodbye.

I feel very blessed to have found this group.  My hope is to not only receive help in my journey towards healing, but to help others in their journey.  As silly as this sounds, I have alot of contact in my
job with people that have just lost a loved one.  I work in a hospice type unit.  You'd think I would be able to get a better grip on all of this, but I have learned all I have spoke to my families about is not very easy to do.

Thank you for letting me vent a bit.
God Bless,
Amy
