Hang in there

[Guest guest]

Hello Del. around 15 years ago when I was terribly ill, and my two youngest

daughters were in my care( single mum at the time), my girls were put out of

our home, as my pension hadn,t come through.and I was in ICU, no family here

except sis in wheel chair etc

A woman( from an agency, housing) took my girls in while I was undergoing

huge op. she also got housing for us.

But whilst under the anaesthetic, all unbeknown to me, my children werre

housed, food and household goods delivered from a church group, as I cam e

out of anaesthetic, there was a gift waiting for me, the nurses opened it,

for me, it was a beautiful ring, a black opal, worry ring.Sent to me by my

eldest daughter in Melbourne, whoi couldn,t be with me.

The nurses put the ring on me. taped it so it wouldn,t get lost.

I truly know that, that special ring, turned my life around.

All seemed to just start to go right, a house, food, kids really cared for

well, and on the way to recovery.Sometimes I would go to the chapel, rolling

my ring around and around on my finger,rubbing it, even kissing it in tears.

Every time I got sick, scared, worried, I would take 5 and just make all

around me quiet, and concerntrate on the ring.

I remembered the day I got it. all it meant, the words in the card, and the

words the daughter ( that sent the ring) said to me on the day.

You see, she was worried I mightn,t make it, but needed to keep positive, so

she sent the ring a few days earlier, and asked the nurses to keep it until

I was coming out of the op.

That ring, is where I go to every worrying moment still today, along with my

prayers.

So I,m sure there must be something as strong as that somewhere in Junes

place, that she could pick up, feel, and really feel, it helps when the

cuppa isn,t enough.

Loving memories, thoughts and courage just seem to engulf you like a big

hug.

June, if you are reading this, have a look around,

and at these times you can even think I wonder if Sandy is clasping her

ring, or just looking at it gaining her strength.

Loads of hugs to you both, Del and June. to all.

As I said, I to have coronary artery disease, I had 5 bypasses and then

3 bypasses and now the doctor tells me my right Carotid is 80%occluded and

the jugular is somewhat occluded also and we have to get this ASAP.

Being in control of ones self is very admirable, but what makes you

think that you can take over of God's job? He is the Creator and He IS the

reaper. He may have plans for you. To say your family understands is just

your way of clearing your conscience to do the deed.

No family member, I can think of, wants to find you in the garage dead.

The first thing out of their mouth is NOT going to be " Well she's not

hurting anymore " ! You are going to crush them and leave a legacy that your

husband, children and grand children can look forward too!

I hate to be rude, but get your head out of wherever it is hidden and

live what life you have left to the fullest you can. You have the computer.

Go site-seeing......Australia, the U.K., China, Europe. Think of all the

history!

Think of your family and stop being sorry for yourself.

Your family loves you, God loves you, and everyone in this group loves

you too, including me or I wouldn't be taking my time writing this letter.

You stay around and see if you can't " Turn it around " and and then use your

love to help someone else to " Turn it around " !

You stay in touch with all of us, we have to watch one another and do

what we can for one another. That is what this group

fibromyalgiacured is ALL about.

Hang if there friend (I hope I can call you friend). We're ALL in this

thing together and suicide is not the way out. Believe me.

Love ya, Butch K
