Today i saw my neice for the first time since i left her on Tuesday. She looked so beautiful and peaceful. She looked like the sleeping angel i remember from when she was a baby. I thought about all of you when i was there. I thought about all the pain and suffering that everyone here has been though at the hands of abusers. How so cruel and inhumane life can seem sometimes. Then i looked at her. 31 years old. So young and so full of life and it just hit me hard. We have so much to be grateful for. I had her for those 31 years and they were the best of my life. I was so lucky to be her aunt. So lucky to have beautiful memories that i will cherish till the day i die. Look at your loved ones today. Hug them. Tell them how much you love them and how special they are because this is your beauty of your life, not the wreckage of the past abuser but those around you that bring you the most joy. Your children, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers and special friends. They are the legacy of you. I love you all, im thinking of you, and will be back soon. xoxoxoxo
Thank you to everyone. We
August 3, 2010 - 5:52pm — betty2020Thank you to everyone. We put her to her final rest yesterday. I am back today and i am feeling a bit better about everything. My family is doing ok as well. I just guess that sometimes it takes something so severe to shock you back into reality. Today i have told everyone i talk to that i love them. Now im telling it to all of you as well.
Its really true
Real Life is what is happening while we are busy with the Narc.
God what a waste of precious time. xoxoxo

August 2, 2010 - 2:58pm — BriseisThank you Betty. This is the lesson, isn't it :( Life is too short. It's unpredictable, and bad things happen out of the blue. The lesson within it is to cherish your loved ones, and cherish yourself and the life you have, enjoy it and live it to the limit.
The work I do involves a lot of death and dying, and the families who suffer along with their loved one. It teaches me every day to keep this focus you speak of. Blessings and peace upon you and your family during this difficult time ((((((Betty))))))))

August 2, 2010 - 1:22pm — goldieHi Betty,
Wonderful to hear from you, I too was wondering how you were doing and your kind words to all of us are blessings to my soul. I often thought while I was pussy footing around with my N/P, life is going on all around me, important real life events are happening every second. What they place importance on is so completely irrelevant to the truly importanat aspects of life and meaning of life. So sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my prayers. Thank you for your heartfelt thoughtful words of encouragment.
God bless,
Goldie

August 2, 2010 - 1:23am — helldwellerHow incredibly strong and loving of you to talk to us in this terrible time for you. Know that I totally loved my daughters today, totally loved and hugged and kissed and laughted with them. Prayers and love. xoxo
So glad to hear from you
August 2, 2010 - 12:47am — almostlydiaSo glad to hear from you today, Betty. And I echo your sentiments. Today was the end of an extraordinary era for me, my mini-me, my baby moved out today to start her college life.
I know that relative to the terrible loss you are feeling I am so so fortunate that she is only leaving our home to a place of her own away from me. And your story is a great reminder of how fortunate I am. My heart is with you and I have missed you here.
Keeping you in my thoughts
