My notes feature works again, thanks to my girl thecrankyone.
I am still digesting the events of the week, and something else terrible happens to my sister.
Wednesday, at 12:30 at night my sister calls me in tears.
Her house burnt down.
I cried all the way to work yesterday. I guess I don�t understand how bad things happen to good people. It puzzles me that people like Rodney L, who killed my mother, continue to be alive and well and profiting in some way from my tragedy even while in jail, and then people like my sister repeatedly suffer setback after setback. I cried hard.
It doesn�t seem fair.
I found out yesterday that the fire was set by the niece that was molested by the neighbor. She was just so angry over being taken advantage of by that man, and being examined and questioned by doctors, Division of Family Services and the police that she was overwhelmed and out of it.
It was an accident. However, we�ve determined that this child definitely needs a lot of counseling.
She�s like my baby too. My heart hurts for her. Her name is Leah, and she�s a redheaded, green-eyed darling. She�s only 7 years old.
My sister and her 3 kids lost anything. Now is the time that I am asking my diaryland friends: If you know of anyone who can part with size 8 and 10 girl clothes, or size 3 boy clothes, or shoes for these ages, which for the girls are sizes 2 and 3, please let me know. The kids also lost all of their toys.
My sister is a size 18/20, so if you can help in that area let me know. I can reimburse you for postage.
Renee and the kids are pretty much homeless and living with friends. They might�ve found a place to live but have to come up with some money to put a deposit down. I am garnering some support outside of diaryland to come up with the money for her deposits.
I hate to ask for anything, but she�s my sister and I�ll swallow my pride and do some asking.
Any help is appreciated, and if all you can do is say prayers, well, we are very happy to have that too! God bless you all.
My readership is down. My stats say that half of my readers are reading my journal when I update. Yes, I�m a stats maniac. My paranoia says that it had a lot to do with that dark depressing layout I had. It was beautiful (broken wing) and fitted what I was feeling at the time I did it, but I found I am emerging from that funk now.
I love makeup and girly stuff so that is why I picked the new template.
I want to give a shout out to a few of my favorite people. One is my friend Lisa (whinerwoman). I really do love this girl. Words cannot describe what she means to me. If I ever lost her, the light would go out of my life. Sometimes the things she says to me moves me so much I cry. Then, she goes and writes sweet things in her journal, and I cry. I find as I age I am becoming more emotional, which is healing. I had shut off that area of my life for so long..and I finally feel safe enough to open it back up, because of her.
To Lisa, I love you girl. I am not good at expressing myself sometimes, but I want you to know you bring joy to my life. Thanks for sticking with me through all of our bad times. I love you.
To my cousin Jackie: I am so happy that we are a part of each other�s lives again. I realize we are two different people with a different but similar outlook on life. But what makes us different also makes our relationship work. There�s no one like you, my favorite cousin and one of my favorite people in my life, and you also bring much to my life. I can always depend on you for a laugh and prayers, and that means a lot to me.
My sister�s Renee and Melinda: we have an unbreakable bond. I would lay down my very life for the both of you. Thanks for always being there for me, no matter what stupid things I was doing in my life, and not judging me. I have distinct strong bonds with each of you, and you are treasures to me. I�m always discovering something new and beautiful about each of you. You are jewels in the tapestry of my life.
To my daughter: thanks for being you. My beautiful little Bella. My precious. My everything.
To my friends on diaryland: I love all of you. You have been there for me through thick and thin. When I was sane, and when I was dangerously close to losing it. Thanks for not judging me because of what I�ve done and went through.
Especially to Abby, Lisa Capone and Hailey: you girls rock my world. I read your diary every time you update. I support you and want the very best for you because you all deserve it. I consider you girls my homeys. Too bad we can�t hang out, because we would sure get into some trouble!
Abby, thanks for your kindness. You�re awesome! Keep on striving to make your life better. You can do it. I know you can!
I am here if you need a friend.
