Things/People I’ve Lost in Just a Few Years…

Things/People I’ve Lost in Just a Few Years

  1. My health
  2. My marriage
  3. My facebook (aka support system, as lame as that sounds)
  4. My friends (minus one who stays for some reason I’ll never understand)
  5. My grandma
  6. (Soon-to-be) my granddaughter. She will be living 3 hours away when she has lived with me since birth.
  7. My lifelong career

I don’t know why I’m even still standing. What’s the point?

  1. 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.”

  2. 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
