What's Keeping You Alive?

The beautiful sun came out this morning and I didn't curse daylight.

My family, my babydog and you guys of course.

When I went back to work last month after the cut on my hand healed, one of my co-workers told me she was glad I was back, and said she had really missed me. When I realized she wasn't joking or being sarcastic, It really made my day to know someone actually missed me.

My children and my family keep me alive. I realized after my father and sister passed away just how much a persons death can affect so many lives. As strong as the pull is to get the heck out of this crazy world, I just couldn't bear to put my children and my remaining family through something like me committing suicide. We already lost my father and sister to a nightmarish murder-suicide and they are already In enough pain because of that.

I don't know- maybe a little hope that I can live my own life and be somewhat happy. Is that too much to ask?

 

[MissMacD]

@ Sethe, its not too much to desire happiness. Sometimes it can feel like we don't deserve it, but we all do -- especially after suffering for so long. May there be sunshine in your day :D
