You’ll never go wrong.

Now, imagine a lifetime of loss. I don’t think that it makes me a victim. I think it makes me human. I am not upset all the time, but at certain moments it becomes very difficult. For example, it is very common for people to ask another person about the holidays. For me, it becomes a difficult question for it stirs up more emotions that most people think such a question would warrant. You get the picture.

Anyhow, they say as a writer, it is also good to write what you know. Right now, what I know is that writing about my story is what feels best to me right now. I need this avenue to express myself. It is truly “saving” my life for you, my readers, become the family I have always wanted. The family who listened to what was important to me, what worries me, and what my dreams are with unconditional love and caring non-judgment. It is for this gift you are bestowing upon me that I will forever be grateful too.

Best wishes to all.

    Judy, this is truly touching. You are certainly right to write about what you know.

    This is so true. I watch Nick sometimes and he gets so wrapped up in his writing that he forgets about everything and all time. When he comes up for air he is suprized at how much time has flown by. I am sure that is tru for also. You are a wonderful writer. Shannon

    Thank you for sharing your journey. I can feel your heart beating.
    Take care.

    I feel grateful and honoured that you feel safe enough to share your story. A healing occurs when we learn to trust and share and I have been able to feel that way here on Triond too. A burden shared is restoring my faith in humanity and letting past hurts go is making me feel lighter and helping me to focus more on my future too. That is a very good thing, I nearly forgot to add Nick to my friends list.Better do that now!

    How wonderful an article you have written here. I admire your honesty, you have such good intention, I’m sure it’s felt by all.
    Thank you for all that you share here, your honesty and truths are very refreshing, you have personally helped not only myself but also my son. Thankyou for that!

    Take good care!
