Oh, Sherizeee, what a wonderful poem. When I read words like that, it makes me feel bad that I am sometimes so focused on how miserable I am. He is even more miserable, and he needs my support and help more than I need his. Thanks for the wake up call.
This is why I went into work this morning and gave notice. I am leaving at the end of July. My DH needs all of me all of the time now. Seeing your poem just makes it seem right. He needs me in front or beside him. But I need to be there.
Joan- I feel the same way as you always chatting in my head with myself about lack of everything from relationship- to a simple hug.... we are all on this together here.
Blue- I always want to do what you are doing just can't figure out how financially.
Sherizeee, I did it. Didn't try to figure things out. Just did it. That was August 2010. My daughter moved back home, but hers is the only income besides the disability. There is always a way. Ya just gotta find it.
Thanks for the imput, that wont work in my case the rent is higher then his social security and my girls just turned 20 and 21 with very little income and in college. But I am going to keep trying! ! :)
I am with you Sherizeee. Linda last year I gave myself a thumbs up to NOT WORRY ABOUT MONEY< as he was enough to worry about. And we have been ok, just ok. However I really cannot see how to do it without my income, we would fall about $800 a month below our bills.
Yet of course that is a big reason I am so burnt out, so tired. At this point I am hanging on to working, and I had better get back to petitioning God for whatever other options there are.
My job was a part time paper route. I have worked at it for almost 32 years. But in the last few years with the loss of customers and the increase in gas and taxes and everything else you have. It was no longer making the kind of money it was even a year ago. When I sell my car and no longer have a car payment and extra insurance I will not be losing as much as if I had done this a few years ago. I still am sad that it has come to this. The route was my little bit of freedom. And that to is gone....
I usually don't like poetry, but I liked yours Sherizee. We have had some good poems posted here. They need to be copied into one thread without the comments that follow.
That is a very beautiful poem, may I have your permission to share with others (my family & friends) because I think they don't understand his world. And for someone who has to work full time that leaving everyday his part of the major stress and heartbreak of each day......for I know his eyes are always looking for me. Thank Sherizeee
Sherizee, Another beautiful poem written from your heart. I haven't been inspired lately, too busy doing other things. You have such a gift. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Sherizee - I too want to share your beautiful poem with friends and family who can't begin to understand because they have no experience in this az world. Thanks for letting me share it.
