I have been putting off this post for a week now...

On Sunday the 24th June it was a year since my life as I knew it disintergrated and a new life of tiredness and guilt and pity began.

It was a year since I stood outside those self-opening double doors to the surgical unit with my baby on my hip, trying my hardest not to run.

It was a year since I took a big breath, brushed away my tears and made a decision that would break my heart, deprive my babies and maybe save my life.

It was a year since my mothering was stolen, a year since my health was stolen, a year since my self was stolen.

And it was a whole year since I last breastfed.

I was hoping that time would heal etc etc, but that's wrong.  It burns in my heart like the day it happened.  It is a raw and open wound that will not heal.  No matter how much I ignore it, bury it or pretend it's not there - it will not go away.

So I sat in the car with 3 beautiful sleeping children and cried like it was that day again. I cried for my poor children being put through this awful journey, I cried for my poor husband who fears for the life of his love, I cried for my parents watching helplessly as their daughter gets sicker and sicker, and then I stopped.

I will not cry for me.  Not today.  This is not a place I am prepared for, nor a place I want to even peep at.  I will not cry for me because I need to use that energy more wisely.

I will not cry for me because I fear I will never stop.

Time does not heal everything. At least not a year, it doesn't even cause a ripple or touch the sides.  Nothing is diluted and nothing is easier. 

Time does not heal everything.

  7. Thanks to dr.marnish@yahoo.com for his wonderful work, My girlfriend left a week before our vacation to be with another man. I was desperate to get her back when I found dr.marnish. I tried 5 other people to do a spell to get her back and nothing worked. I was still alone. Then I found dr.marnish by accident. I don’t know how I found him, I don’t remember. But, when I first saw the good testimonies about his wonderful work and after reading the Testimonies, I decided I had to try and give it one last shot. After my spells, I got a text from my lover. And we started going back and forth by text, she asked to meet the next day. So we did, and that night we ended up sleeping together, and about a few days after we got back together. anyone who needs help, should email dr.marnish. He is the best.

  8. Cured of TNBC!
    I want to take this time out as a cancer survivor to encourage women out there still suffering from this with my story on how i got a cure. The sad news about it is that i was diagnosed on my 36th birthday in 2008 and with stage 3 TNBC which after i made research was a very aggressive form of cancer at that point i decided and told myself i was going to die and that the end has finally come. All my life i never thought of having breast cancer because i was very active and i worked out at the gym several times every week and my diet was okay. In my search for a cure after 6 years of diagnosis and even after chemo which i did twice spending thousands of dollars but to no avail, until a church member told me all about Dr Aleta a herbal doctor that specializes in treating TNBC, who could help me with a permanent cure, i doubted this at first but i later gave it a try following her methods and instructions. It took 3 months and after it all i felt normal but still went for diagnosis and i was clean today i am proud to say i am a cancer survivor no nodes and i am totally free the new diagnosis confirmed it. Do not die in silence or ignorance because of breast cancer just simply reach her on aletedwin@gmail.com don't be shy just speak to her today.
