(no subject)
I need to start writing here again because there are things on my mind I need to work through and feedback is often nice. Who is still here anyway? LJ is so dead.
So, my friend that died in 2010 and left behind a teenage daughter and young son. Her best friend married her husband a few months later. The husband that asked her for a divorce while she was in ICU. Many people believe his request is what caused her to give up. She only went in for a lap band procedure. Anyway, her daughter lives with her grandmother who is very sick and currently in ICU with pneumonia (what her mom had after surgery). Apparently, before NYE, the daughter attempted suicide and went into ICU as well and will be inpatient at a mental health facility for a few weeks. She posted about how sad she is for the new year and this was my response to her: But try to look at things from a positive angle, eventhough it's hard....at least you're starting out the year getting something done so you'll feel better. When we are at our saddest moments and when we suffer, it is preparing us to be able to know and feel true happiness in the future. Make 2011 be a good year for you. Create it the way you want it. Love and hugs.
I feel as if I owe it to my friend to be there for her children. I've sent them cards and notes and such. And some little roses they could plant in the yard to remember their mother. I'm sure right now they are afraid they will be alone in this world at such young ages. I cannot even imagine that type of sadness and desperation. Their mother was a fun loving, very sweet person and I know her presence is missed enormously.
Starting 2011, I am thankful for the things I have and I should make up for speaking rudely to my mother yesterday.
Love to you all.
