Maybe some of you remember me. Maybe you are new and don't.
My mom died of cancer in her brain. She was sick for a while and now she is dead.
My dad doesn't get me. He thinks I need to be older. I have a little brother who is 11 and I have a little baby sister born right before my mom died.
I just got out of juvenile hall. I made a mistake about a bad decision. I am not bad. I think if you remember me you remember that I am not bad. My dad won't look at me any more. I wish I could say that I have never been in juvenile hall and that I will never do anything to make me go. But, I can never say that ever again.
My little sister will never know my mom. My dad works all the time and is not the same. My little brother thinks that bad things are good and likes people to think he is bad - he used to be always good and he thinks it is cool I was in juvenile hall.
I used to say I don't believe in god. I don't know now. But, if prayer helps, pray for my family. Maybe you think that I am not worth prayer and that is cool. But, if you can, you got to pray for my family. If god will make my dad love me and smile at me and make my brother not look up to me like I am cool for going to juvenile hall. Whatever works.
I bet I am no good and my chance to be good is gone. But, pray for my family.
Thanks,
Love

everyone here has a sad story to share now this is mine:
I posted earlier that my mother has rheumatoid arthritis but that it was not life threatening and that she was doing okay so a prayer now and then was welcome but not at all needed.
Things have changed.
A couple days ago my mother went home sick. she made a doctors appointment and when she came home from that she gave us the announcement that she is taking a medical leave of absence from her job. She loves her job and did not want to take time off but things have gotten worse. The doctor told her take this time off now or soon you will get to the point that you won't be able to work any more ever again. She spends her day lying in bed because it hurts to much to get up. She has 3 different doctors she is now seeing on a regular basis and often has up to 3 needles given when she goes to see them. She is taking 15 different pills a day and will be till next year. They are not helping though. She can't come with us to see my dads family over Christmas traveling is to hard on her right now. My mother has had this disease for almost as long as i can remember. This is the worst it's ever been. I know i will sound strange by saying this but it's almost like we have lost her she is so different now. I feel like my mother is dead and only her body is here and moving. I know that it sounds reticulates but it is hard seeing her in so much pain.
My prayers go out to all those dealing with life threating problems i know they are more important. I also pray for those who have lost someone. Sometimes hard things happen but what can we do but pick up the pieces and move on but always remember because only by remembering can we truly heal.....

Wow my thoughts go out to you oliviafan and you are right by when things are bad, all we can truly do is move on and it will get better...
my grandmother who've practically lived with my entire life and has taught me everything from how to tie my shoes to working with me to solve algebra. she is slowly losing her memory and mind in a sense. she can't remember basic things in her life and so my childhood memories with her she can't recall anymore and it seems to worsen. I can't do anything about it so I enjoy who she is right now and what she can remember and keep moving on. It's the only way like oliviafan said that anything can get better

your family is in my prayers. i know that in times like this it is hard to see good in anything. the best thing to remember is that God does love each and everyone of us. no one knows why things happen the way they do, we just know that if we trust in God he will do what is needed to help your mom. again your family is in my prayers.

kind words. Thats all they are. God abandoned us the second my mom got t sick to work. He doesn't care for us. I trusted him to help my grandfather but he died! and you know what i told myself! i said that everyone dies eventually! I stilled believed he could help me! He could help her! he just left us!! life sucks! She's my mom! she doesn't deserve this! she dedicated her life to carrying for those who had no to care for them at home! She goes to church! she sponsors children! she loves life! WHY!! okay i really need to get a grip! i'm sorry i'm just........when she comes home from taking a ten minute trip to the drug store and then has to sleep the rest of the afternoon just so she has enough strength to eat supper it hurts.

Dec 11 2006, 06:31 PM
I'm sorry to hear about your mom Oliviafan. Sadly, I know how you feel. About a year ago my mom got pregnant for her 6th time. In a matter of months she got asma so bad that she could hardley breath any more. She had to have multiple breathing treatments every day and she could never get to sleep because she couldn't breath then. If some-one's ever had really bad congestion at night and they couldn't lean back because then it's difficult to breath, try multilpying that by ten and live with that for about six months. It's hard! She was hospitalized several times, and she spent most of her day weary and droopy, barely able to get out of bed. Then to make matters worse the doctors told her that there was a good chance that her baby would have downsyndrome. Well, that would have been bad enough except soon she developed eye problems. She couldn't see clearly out of her right eye and she could barely see at all out of her left. She had to go on steriods to help her breathing, and the steriods made her blood sugar rise. So then she had to start inserting needles full of insulan after breakfast after lunch, after dinner and whenever her blood sugar got high. She developed large bruises all over her stomach and arms from getting poked with a needle over and over and over again. Plus, she couldn't eat hardly anything! When women get pregnant they usually get cravings for certain foods, my mom was no different; the difference was she wasn't allowed to eat any of the things she was craving. Because of all the things that were happening to her my mom became very depressed, and she took all her emotion out on my dad and me. It really hurts when some-one you love suddenly turns against you. My dad was o.k. because he was gone on buisinus alot, but I was stuck in the house with my mom all day long. She wasn't the same person, and I thought she'd changed forever. Regrettfuly, I didn't have very much compassion for her at the time. I was in to myself and all I could think of was how she had wronged me.
Well, the baby was miraculously born healthy and within a few months my mom could breath better. She came off steriods and insulan and her trips to the hospital ceased. Her eyes have got a little better but I'm afraid that they recieved too much damage during her pregnancy to ever be the same again. I was talking to her a couple weeks ago and she said that it was very hard for her to accept it. My mom is close to God, but during that time she said that her trials really tested her faith. She said it's hard to think about how her eyes used to be, but in time she knows that she will come to accept her fate fully.
I'm telling you this because of two things-
1. God never gives us more then we can handle. I can't quote the verse, but I know for sure that the Bible says God doesn't abandon us and that He never puts too much on our plate.
2. My mom wasn't supposed to get better, and my sister wasn't supposed to be born healthy. God does protect us! He never forsakes us! He is still watching over you. Just because God doesn't always do things your way doesn't mean He's not there. He knows what He wants for your life and He knows what's best for you.
If it helps any, just remember your not the only freshman who doesn't have time to worry about classes and making friends. We're in the same boat. I'll pray for your mom, and I'll pray for you, because you seem really down. Galations 6:2 "Bear one another's burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.

YankeesFan... thank you so much for your kind words. your story sounds so sad and i'm glad your mom made it through okay for the most part.
I have some hopeful news about my mother.
She has had tons more visits to the doctors but in the end it helped she will return to work on Monday (part time she can't work full time for another month or so) she is off the 17 meds and on 6 and their all new ones that will hopefully help her. She made it through! i'm incredibly happy. Then as she finished telling me about her plan to call me at new years at midnight and tell me happy new year and that i should call her when its new year for me (I'm with my dad's family for new years 3 hour time difference) she got to leave and then quickly added he (the doctor) says that i don't need to go back to the hospital anymore.....until i have another relapse. She can't be cured so its just a matter of time until we go through it all again. they still don't know what caused this one! so what we wait till she can't walk anymore? she would of gone off on disability but she needs a full salary because we need a new house and we can't just stop going to BC to see dad's family! that costs money! Plus my brothers leaving for university in 2 years and between my parents we make just enough to not qualify for financial help so my parents savings is all we have! Well god didn't give me more than i could handle. Just when i thought it was to much he help us. I just hate the idea all we can do is wait around for her to relapse again.
Today a girl in my math class wrote this on the black bared as our daily piece of advice. i thought i would put it here because it is true.
