Re: Thyroid - Liver connection

[Guest guest]

I AM POSTING THIS FOR MY HUSBAND AND MUM TO READ:

I DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO GIVE UP HOPE - THERE IS ALWAYS

HOPE

I knew months ago that my life here was coming to an

end. I knew in May ’06 that my body couldn’t take

much more. Dr. s told me that if I continued

to drink alcohol, or indulge in painkillers I would

have 18 month to two years before it caught up on me.

Today, the one worst thing that happened – my house,

my safe place, my home, was taken by the bank. It is

the last straw. My home was my only security. This

house was where I was supposed to die. I spent my

inheritance, my life savings on this house, my 15

years salary on. I worked my arse off off to pay for

this houes, to furnish this house and to make this

house beautiful. I had the perfect home. This is

where I wanted to start my next life. I had planned

my last weeks at this house - Bobby said a few things

about Ardis that stuck: no crying music, let me go

with Larry King or Everybody Loves on the

telly, let me be holding my puppies and the remote,the

car keys, and please God, let my Mum & Dad and Rob be

there. Let Jaclyn, Ben and Jack know what they meant

to me. I spent my unworking hours in my bedroom and

spent a fortune making this room my haven. This is

where I wanted to go.

I love my sisters kids more that I could ever love my

own. They are treasures. Jaclyn was the child I

would have wished for if I could have given birth.

She is MY baby. That cherub is, and always will be,

the light of my life. If Rob had not left we could

have saved my home. If he had not been so unforgiving

we could have left this home with pride, and enough

money to move on, or enough for me to die here. He

has always claimed to be the smart one….?

How could he lose our home? Why did he dig his heels

in and refuse to move home? We could have saved our

house. Rob could have had the house. The doggies

could have had a place to play and run. Why???? I ‘m

so f00000g angry. Why?

Why? Why push us into financial ruin?

Why deplete all we own?

Why fight over the doggies when we know that I have

always taken care of them and would never, ever, let

anything happen to them.

Why fight over the house when you know you can have

it?

Why fight over shit like 401?

But still I want this to be over. I don’t want them

to see me at my worst.

I feel very resentful of the God I am about to meet,

AND THAT SCARES THE CRAP OUTA ME but I know he will

tell me WHY my life on earth is over, and what its

purpose was, but I will ask WHY IT ENDED SO SOON?

Thanks guys, especially Bobby for you help and

support.

Pray for me, God is good,

God Bless

Love always,

I
