You joined this thread because it struck a chord in you and you felt like you had something to say, so don't blame your choice on me...I've got my own issues I don't need yours.

Glad to see you are back to your normal self, striking out at anyone who may try to say anything positive about you. Your right the topic of the thread did strike a cord with me, not going to tell you why.

We all know that you have had issue's and we all know that you do not want anyone else's. But if you start this type of thread it will get answered by all types of people be they weak or strong. Just live with it, the majority of us neither give a sh!t or want anything from you except maybe the occasional nugget of information supplied by yours and other peoples posts.

Keep posting and people will keep reading it's what we do on here after all.

Why have they taken the sky from ME

Reading these posts I have to come to the conclusion that something in this society has shut off so many young people from caring, from their emotions and from love. I am 55, and I am grieving very much, for my Mother died about 2 months ago. Yes, she was in bad shape and in many ways it is a relief, I had taken care of her for 6 years, and the last ones over 2 years 24/7. She was 89 years old, I am an only child. And yet, I miss what there was of her, her smile, telling her I loved her, the small things she might be able to still enjoy. I loved her more then words can say and while it might be better for her now, I am extremely saddened. I changed her, fed her, kept her alive. I am from a somewhat better time, I think. These days, what with illegal immoral wars, and all people can think about is themselves, and not acknowledge that and the other evils going on around them, and the shallow celebrity culture, and maybe so many not having a close attachment to someone, well, it is very sad. I miss my mom, always will, and did the best I could for her. She was a wonderful person, when she was herself, and sacrificed for me and my mostly ill father. I am honored that I took care of her, and will miss and love her till I am no more. I think it is sad so many here are so crass and flip about it,, it shows me sad things about today's world.

I stand between the Candle and the Star. Between the Darkness and the light.

Reynoldsfan34, You should feel honored that you took care of your Mom. That's a wonderful testimony of your love, a great gift to give someone. I got very disheartened after reading some of the posts, I try to have hope for the future and agree it seems like something's gone terrible wrong, but try to have hope. I am from a younger generation and I do understand what you're saying. I helped take care of my Grandpa, and am still mourning his loss. The fact that we grieve makes us human, it shows our capacity to love each other. Hang in there Reynoldsfan34, FollowMal and the others who have shared their stories, and take comfort in knowing there are others who empathize with your experiences.

Sorry Windie,

Actually that last post of mine to you did seem like it was hostile, but it wasnt meant to be that way. I thought I was being funny, but having looked at it again, it does look hostile and I didnt mean to come off that way. Sorry.
