I'm new to this site, this is my first post. I just wanted to say that this has been a TOTAL wake up call for me. Maybe it takes one life to safe a few. I don't know. I do know that I am sitting here about to cry. Greeneyes was BEAUTIFUL!!!

HUGS!!!!!

roadie58 · 06-14-2007, 04:35 AM

so sorry to hear of your loss. and the previous post drives home the point that this could be any one of us at any time. I've been fighting addiction and alcoholism for 5 years now. Each sober stretch gets easier and longer, but I realize that the next time I go out I might not come back in. Also this thread reminds me that I may have done damage that is undoable (not sure of her cause of death) and I suredon't want to do any more. GreenEyes showed us that life can be good. Sorry the good times ended so soon but at least she got some recovery.

Be at peace.

Ihatedrugs · 06-15-2007, 04:38 AM

i managed to make the picture bigger for you, just not sure how to post it. Btw you look great

mywifeisatpeace · 10-21-2007, 03:17 PM

after all this time this thread still makes me cry. I have been doing alot of healing in the meantime. I was not a substance abuser but I will still come here and give my 2 cents when I can if it is wanted. thank you all friends.

ccgirl · 10-21-2007, 08:59 PM

It's so nice to hear from you. I hope things are going as well as they can for you.

I am so very sorry for your loss. This disease can take a horrible tole.

mywifeisatpeace · 11-11-2007, 10:05 AM

thanks guys. in the days before her death greeneyes was having dreams of her dying. in her nightmares it was either her or our daughter. it was about a week before she actually died. she posted it somewhere on this forum.

Oh, I remember that. I think our subconcious knows a lot of things long before we do. Or maybe her body was getting ready to give out. It's still so very sad. How is your little girl doing?

I have heard that from someone else also. they told me just before an addict dies they are the most at peace first of all and they have nightmares. our daughter is doing ok for the most part. but she cries every now and then saying she misses mommy. she likes the song "momma I'm coming home" by ozzy... but it also makes her cry because she looks at it like momma is coming home.

ccgirl · 11-12-2007, 04:57 PM

She's lucky she still has her daddy. Someday she'll be able to understand and she'll know her mommy wouldn't have left her if she had the choice.

mywifeisatpeace · 11-22-2007, 05:23 PM

thanksgiving day without greeneyes. we went to the cemetary and bought her some food and left it on her grave. it was not the same because every year she was the one to say grace when we went to her mothers house for thanksgiving dinner. this year her niece said grace. all went as well as it could but there was definately a noticable difference in the whole atmosphere of the holiday. I can just wonder what christmas will be like. I miss my greeneyes.

ccgirl · 11-22-2007, 10:17 PM

Oh, mywife; I was thinking about you earlier. I imagine the holidays and birthdays could be rough. You got through it though, and I know for your little girl, you'll do it again for Christmas. I won't wish you a happy Thanksgiving; but how about a peaceful one?

ccgirl2 · 01-03-2008, 06:14 PM

Hey, mywife; I was just checking in to see how you holidays went. I hope it was a good as can be expected.

P.S. My user name got messed up and i got bounced out and had to re regestir.

mywifeisatpeace · 02-01-2008, 08:28 PM

wow. i can't believe that they fixed it so we can see greeneyes' post again. i thought i would never see her final words again. thank you staff for saving a little bit of her.

ccgirl2 · 02-02-2008, 06:01 AM

Me either.

I was glad to see you updated your thread. I always check first thing to see if you've been here.

How are you? You sound well. And how's you're daughter doing?

we are doing ok so far. it is almost one full year since greeneyes was called by god. i get depressed a little every day. but i stay strong for our little girl. not a day goes by that i don't think about greeneyes. i think of her throughout the day at work. this valentines day will suck. and my birthday will suck as well,it is 3 days before her death. it is good to hear from you cc.

here is the pic she originally posted. she was so proud of this.

ccgirl2 · 02-03-2008, 05:32 AM

I remember how proud she was. And pretty also.

I'm glad one of us at least figured out how to do pictures!

mywifeisatpeace · 06-10-2008, 06:46 AM

well it has been over a year since greeneyes passed. this past saturday our daughter had a ballet recital of beauty and the beast. all i could think throughout it with teary eyes was that greeneyes should have been there. our daughter has been feeling sad lately because she misses mommy. her sistern stayed with us for a few days and kind of acted like her mom for a little bit so that helped.she looks like an older version of greeneyes and has some of the same actions... but it is not her. this is my first posting here on this thread since her one year death anniversary. i still cry. i'm crying as i type this. but it is less often these days.

Timebuster · 06-10-2008, 08:45 AM

My heart goes out to you.

Hugs and prayers to you and your family

Sending you and your daughter hugs and prayers.

Crying is totally understandable. I still cry sometimes for my mom, and she's been gone 17 years this month. Fortunately, with time, we smile more with the memories of the good times.

Hugs and prayers!

Amy

ByHisBlood2 · 06-10-2008, 12:45 PM

My Prayers go out to you. I pray that the Lord gives you his peace and understanding and strength, to continue to move forward in your life always remembering the love you shared and living in the truth that you will be with her again! God bless you!
