| Prayers for my grandma please..
My last grandparent, my grandmother on mydads side is in the ER right now, stroke, and has no idea who she is, where she is. She will be brought to a care home run by afamily friend, so she will be closer and I can visit her more. I have not been able to see her much as where she is now is about 2 hours away. I feel so guilty about not being able to see her as much...It had been 20 years since I sen her being down in TX, she was so excited when I moved up here. She was in the hospital last year, right after we arrived up here, and the nurses said she kept calling to see "Her sweet beautiful Tammie" God bless her, if she only knew what a mess I really am! Good thing she doesn't. My dad is in the hospital still, so I a trying to calm him down and cheer him up. I feel bad for him. My mother has told me all my life this grandma of mine killed my grandpa, and the small town doc wrote down cause of death as heart attack, but he was really found with a pillow over his head, suffocated. I don'y know the truth, I don't care, I love my grandma, and not knowing any facts.....I won't judge, it just makes it harder to trust you know? It makes everything seem so cruel and conspiratorial and questionable. Sorry to air my families secrets, I have to get it all out, an dbury it where it belongs. Some things wear on our heart and we have to let them out, and let them go.... Thanks for listening and any prayers would be greatly appreciated. I will start my etox in the morning, start over once again...thanks for loving me guys, right wheer I am.....I have tears running down my face right now at the love you have shown me. You will never know what a blessing you all are...what angels you really are.

Tammie, I am so glad to hear you're going off the pills. It's the best choice you could make. Way to go, my friend. Sorry about your Grandma. It's another thing for you to worry about right now. Sending prayers to you for you and your family. Ah, and about family secrets... Hugs and love, Anna

Thank you, all of you.....((((((((Big Loving Hugs))))))) I am going to visit my dad today, I really don't want to go into that psych ward, when those doors close behind me...well, it's not apleasant feeling, and LOL, I always fear they will know how crazy I am and commit my a** again, just a fear, I know it's not reality. I just really dread it, but since my dad let us borrow his car he said to come visit him, it's no more than right. I love my dad, but he has always leaned on me emotionally, and it gets draining. He told meyesterday he wished I could be in there...Good Grief, I am not going to be locked up! But with his years of VA hospitals, he is institutionalized, and is quite happy in a hopsital setting, locked doors or no, he feels safe in there. Will check in with ya all later...Love ya bunches and bunches....Hope you have a good weekend.

Thanks so much guys. You are so awesome, all of you. Hugs to you all. Well, I got out today. even ate in Denny's, LOL was not happy and fought my way through...but I did it!! And I also made it to see my dad in the hospital, it brought back alot of bad memories, from the smells, to the doors locked behind me, to the patients...but I did okay....and on the way home we stopped at a ice pond beside the National Guard Armory and kids were out ice skating, so we let the kids go out on the ice, they don't have skates, but LOL, my son can run across the ice in his sneakers! He drew the attention of all the girls, that and his blue eyes.....Brooklyn had fun also, and we all had a good laugh, it was nice. I have used today, but am counting down and getting my plans and commitments worked thru in my head, I am not going to give up, gonna keep trying...I'll make it. I am really scared of the withdrawals again, but is a price I have to pay for using, so will accept it and work through it best I can. Thanks for the love and prayers guys....you are very special to me, and I appreciate and love you all more than I can ever tell you with mere words.
