Recollections of life.

Well mine is from my child hood. I was made fun of my whole child hood life. I was really skinny and my lips was really big. You know the lips that people pay for now? Well back then they was not popular. I would go home just about everyday and cry because I was made fun of so bad. Now I work with kids and I have classes and discussions on bullying and making fun of other people. Some kids come to me after the class and they tell me how bad a felt because they might have made fun of someone for something they could not help. I have turned that bad situation into a good one.

When my first husband left me with two very young babies (aged 2 and 3) I felt at first that I couldn't go on. I had never been on my own before, as I went straight from my parents home to college and then into marriage. What I learned was that I could (and did) go on, that I could be self-sufficient, and that I did not need anyone else to make me happy....that happiness had to come from within. ...the other person just enhances your own happiness! Several years later I met a wonderful, self-confident man to share life with. I actually thank God daily for the divorce!!

i am so sorry to hear about the bad things that happened to your family and your wife and your baby. and i am glad to know that you have enough strength to keep you going. i was about to lose my youngest brother 8 or 10 years ago (can't really remember exactly, sorry) because of leukemia. but with the family's care and love for him, he is so much better now and we're happy that atleast, he keeps on fighting for his life. i had been to so many painful relationships. but i did not give up. i never lost hope that one day, i will find a man who will truly love me and will let me love him in return. and after 27 years of being here on earth, after being into 13 heart breaking relationships, my heart is now owned by a man who deserves me and who i deserve to love. my painful experiences before still can make me put to tears. but i am not ashamed to tell the whole world about my life. it was who i was before and my past turned me into the person i am today. i've learned a lot and the lessons will remain in my life forever.

i think my main ones would be the loss of my grandparents - i lost both of my grandfathers in less than a year, but thankfully i was only about 4. so i dont recall much about it... ...however i have since lost my two grandmothers - one of which i was very close too. we lost her just over a year ago, it was a very hard time...but thankfully i had my family, my partner and his family around me
