For Those Who Are Just Meeting ME ...

I write about grief, pain ... I write what I know best in my own life. I am always looking for good in life no matter how bad it hurts. I try to make all not right ... alright. I fall down, I get back up. I have battled cancer and 2 major surgeries stemming from that (non-Hodgkins lymphoma). Recently, I had major surgery for 2 blockages in my heart (the widow-maker they call it). I was fortunate not to collapse just as my son did, die. I was within 2 days of collapsing ... the surgeon told Skip I was lucky to go in time to take tests. I never knew I was sick. These are only a few battles in my life ... I have become a warrior though I don't look like one. I try to find positive in negative. Am I perfect? In no way am I perfect ... I just have one heck of a fighting spirit. I will admit this though ... I almost lost my fighting spirit when my only child died ... I almost died too. The knowledge that he was gone was too much for me. I made it ... I'm here today. I write my pain, grief ... I've always kept a promise I made to all the people who read me on my blog, Facebook ... I write honestly how grief, pain feels. You won't ever see ME crying, asking for attention, seeking pity ... sympathy. That's not ME at all. You will see me write truthfully how it all feels ... and see I try hard to find answers as I write ... as I read what people write back to me. All of the people who take time to read ME ... I'm honored. It's special when someone takes time to read the words you write. I never take anything for granted. I feel we help each other when we share what we've learned, experienced in life. I hope to make lots of friends here. I look forward to reading your discussions. I wanted to write this so, everyone who wonders who am I ... will know this about me. I'm so happy to be back here ... talking to so many people. It feels so good as I live a very private life. This is where I talk ... through my keyboard. Also, know that my husband, Skip is my life. He and our Pups2 (Kissy and Camie) are my whole world I have in this big, old world. I treasure them with my Heart. I'm not looking for a boyfriend nor flirting with anyone. I enjoyed making friends with everyone. Photo is of ME ... I am always talking about something different ... I am different, yet, I am always ... ME.
