Things/People I’ve Lost in Just a Few Years
- My health
- My marriage
- My facebook (aka support system, as lame as that sounds)
- My friends (minus one who stays for some reason I’ll never understand)
- My grandma
- (Soon-to-be) my granddaughter. She will be living 3 hours away when she has lived with me since birth.
- My lifelong career
I don’t know why I’m even still standing. What’s the point?
Thanks for sharing. Did you receive my comment? Suddenly I couldn’t do anything or any more
Yeah, I guess we all ask ourselves those deep questions at times. Wait until you get to be 75 and everything goes to hell overnight. Take a walk around the square and a damn arm falls off for no reason, body parts do that when you get old. No one offers to pick it up and give it back, and a damn dog grabs it and runs down the street. Then a cop issues you a ticket for bleeding on the sidewalk. Little things like that. All my grandkids live a full day’s drive away from me, and rarely call, which I get, I didn’t see my grandparents that much and no one had a cell phone back then. I do know how you feel and can be overwhelming, especially at 3 am when you wake up in a sweat. Like my sainted mother used to say, the woman who whooped my little butt with a Tupperware pan, always said, ” awww, it can’t be all that bad.”
Melissa, I just saw this. I’m so very sorry. I did not know. I just emailed you about the fb thing and then saw this. I don’t know what to say, except, I’m sorry you are going through this. I am here to listen if you need an ear and a friend to listen. Sending you good vibes and hugs, Amy
