Thankfully last week is over and done with.  First the man who sexually abused me died which surfaced too many buried emotions, then my battery died at work (an hour away from home), my husband still couldn't find a job and last but not least my cat Skyler was under our recliner chair and was crushed when my husband reclined back.  Our cat is doing o.k. it was touch and go on whether she would survive but she has!!! I'm thankful we didn't put her to sleep out of hastiness because her spirit is fully in tact.  She looks like she was hit by a baseball bat in the side of her face.  The swelling has all went down and she is looking more and more like herself.  We may face having to have her jaw set (possibly fractured) but she's alive.  Love all ya guys and so glad I have a chance to meet such wonderful people in Florida.  Paige

The man who stole my innocence as a child (for many years)and others died yesterday.  I'm not sure how to feel.  For so long I've wished horrible, horrible things to happen to this man - this man that was so close to my family I called him Uncle.  I know now as an adult not to feel ashamed, but that doesn't ease the pain, hurt, and the distrust he has caused in my life.  I'm angry that he had so much power over my life for so long.   Although it happend long ago the pain is still as vivid as the memories.  Memories that would be triggered and  would recreate the pain all over again.  I'm crying right now as I type this because I finally feel free and safe.  Safe from the one person who terrified me as a child and even as an adult.  I know I should forgive him for my own self peace, but I can't lie when I say I'm happy he's dead, and I hope he had a slow painful death - but nothing as slow and painful as trying to accept that he manipulated my childhood.  I was told that if I said anything my parents would blame me and not want me anymore.  I look back now with such amazement at how easy it was for him.  Please, Please if someone in your life tells you something so painful and private do not dismiss it, TAKE IT SERIOUSLY - my family never acknowledged the abuse with myself and my sister because "he was a good man"  I don't understand that!!!!!  Today is a NEW DAY and he'll never be able to hurt another child.  May he burn eternally in HELL!!!!!

Hey everyone keep the family of the young girl who lost her life yesterday due to a horrible accident ,involving a school bus from Marion County yesterday , in your prayers and thoughts!!! Also let's not forget about Caylee Anthony whom we have all come to love.....

Well it's been awhile since I've been wired, I admit I've been on myspace a lot more than usual.  Hope everyone is fine and I welcome any new friends.
