2 1/2 years ago I was a mess.... - monster1963 - 03-25-2012 10:37 PM
Many of you here will remember my absolutely horrible year in 2009...it started with me having to put a beloved 2 year old pup down, then Randy dying then Dominic and then losing my house the next day.
I just want you all to know that although there are times that it still takes my breath away a bit that I am doing really well and very happy (were not counting pain right now lol).
The reason I am writing this is to thank all of you who gave me such encouraging words, support and the strength I needed to keep going. As you all said, things do get better in time. It took me the better part of 2 years but emotionally I am stronger now than I have ever been in my life. I've learned to laugh, love and let go when need be and I just wanted to thank you all for being a part of getting me to this point.
Love you guys and thank you so much,
your happy monster

Hi Monster I was not a member at that time but I am glad to hear that you are doing better. Having encouraging friends and family around & faith make all of the different in the world. We all will keep you in our prayer.

Don't remember if I was a part of that or not. But deep down it doesn't matter, I'm here for you now. No one should have to go thru those pains but unfortunately it does happen and sometimes it doesn't seem to stop. Something you never really get over but rather just go on. You learn your strengths from that.
Prayers if not offered then offered now.

Thanks so much everyone. I am good and appreciate the prayers but I think we ought to save them for the one's who are going through hard times. For now life is good and weel, there's still ups and downs but I can make it through the normal one's just fine. Hope that didn't sound unappreciative, just think we should reserve prayers for the big ugly things in life and right now I am fortunately not having any of those and I hope no one else is either!

Don"t sound unappreciative at all in fact it's quite modest caring about someone else.
God Bless everyone here for we all are here for a reason.
