Mmmmmmm hawt like woah!
Thanks babe, you guys help a ton! I've always felt and do feel that for some reason I ended up with this disease for a reason and I think its so that I can have compassion for others and truly understand what pain is like. I try to take a bad thing and use it for good to be a supportive person to others in pain. And I always think it could be worse.
This has really been one of the hardest years in my life. Between loosing my friend, my marriage going into the crapper, and my health getting really wanky I'm just glad I haven't totally lost it yet. But I am blessed I have also felt love in my life and for that I will be forever greatful. I've had some amazing people come into my life who make me want to get up in the morning and keep on moving and breathing. I don't know where I will be in a few months time, but no matter what happens I will always hold them in my heart.

Wow....seriously Russty you are my idol. That made my eyes water. Now it may just be my crazy PMS but I think it has something to do with how awesome you are. You are so important to us all and we're here for you through the good and the bad.
Your view about you having the disease so you can understand pain and be able to relate to others in those positions is what a lot of patients have said to me. Instead of taking it badly and thinking they are being punished for something, they turn it around and try to do something positive with it. That reminds me of a great Tori Amos quote:
"My three miscarriages - I wouldn't wish them on an enemy, but they really brought me to a place of bitterness and loss. And instead of wallowing in that, at a certain point I could begin to take the gall out of it. Nearly everyone is faced with some kind of health problem at some point, and when you are, that sense of immortality goes, that arrogance. I have so much more compassion for what people go through physically, and for their losses."

Awww man now your going to make me cry! You girls are all so important to me and are definetly one of the reasons I'm so positive in my life. Without you all I would wallow in my pain. You keep my crack head arse from going off the deep end.
Tori is one amazing woman. And she is so dead on. We've all had shite in our life its what you do with that shite that makes us who we are.
Fly one day you are going to make someone incredibly happy. You have the sweetest heart and spirit of anyone I've met. And such a beautiful smile. I can't wait to see pictures of all you girls together being happy.
Fed exing me Edge would be a good thing! I'd be more then happy to sign for that package.
FlyYourKite said:
Yeah I knew she had just from reading facts on sites and stuff...haha let's just say I'm slightly obsessed. But I bought her book a few weeks ago and good Lord, that woman has been through hell. She holds nothing back at all...talking about bleeding for a month straight And she was raped too when she was 21. I just have so much respect for people who can go through stuff like that and come out on the other side not hating the world.
Russty Cat said:
Your mission should you choose to accept it is to touch, smell, and taste anything you can get your hands on. And of course bring back full detailed reports.
But I'd even be happy with notes on what songs had Edge stomp going and Bono strut.
Russty Cat said:
Damn maybe I need to read her book! She sounds like she could be a real kindred spirit. I lost my son, 3 years ago in November. At the time I really thought that life was over. When you carry a child for so long preparing for a great time in your life only have it end way to early in a miscarriage it can definetly mare your soul for life. I don't think you ever really get over something like that. You just learn to not dwell on it every day.

Aww Russty, you are awesome. *Tear*

I am so sorry to hear that Russty. I think it would certainly be worth reading whether you're a fan of her or her music or not. I would definitely recommend it. It's called "Piece by Piece" written by Tori Amos and Ann Powers. She has very interesting and different beliefs (mostly revolving around Native American beliefs like spirits and the Earth Mother, etc.) so it may be hard to read or relate to at first...but so much of what she writes about is so poignant. Let me know if you decide to pick it up and read
Hi DG! How was school today?
