To Whom it May Concern: I do not expect any reply from this as there hasn't been in a long time. I am an american citizen and have worked since the age of 12. I am now 55. I am assuming I paid more into the Medicare fund then the President or at least longer. I have had 5 strokes. Three mini ones and two hospitalized. The first was in 2012. For 15 months I attempted to treat myself with vitamins

Glen and I got back to Ohio after a very very long bus ride. &nbsp;And as planned within two weeks I met Cliff in the park. The county park had a wishing well and together we through in a penny and made our wish. A wish that things would finally get better and work out for us. We hugged and was so happy to be together again. We knew we had a lot of work to do as we were still at the bottom. No

Today, tomorrow and forever, we create memories from and with those we encounter and those we love. Our eyes are like the lens of a camera, forever taking pictures and filing them in the depths of our minds and those memories that are so special make it to the filing system of our hearts. Its when we stop making memories that perhaps our book is just about complete. When it is complete we will

It took an in depth talk with Ma to consider going on with this journey. She reminded me of Glenn and how he needed me. It was for this reason and only this reason I went for the medical attention my doctor recommended.&nbsp; Shelli and I were living together at the old farm house now after her divorce. We finally were beginning to get to know each other. Not on a sister level really, but

Well I was back at the Ma homestead with Glenn. Glenn would get his own room. He would be sheltered,clothed and fed and for me, I would take to the streets. Ma and me just didn't seem to be able to get through many things and well that was nothing new. We ran hot and cold. I miscarried on my pregnancy and the doctor told me that had the baby went all the way that either I would die, the baby

Did I have dreams? I did. Did I believe anything would or could come to pass? It was looking slim. I was giving up on hope but I was not ready to quit the fight. Not just yet. When Cliff returned home I was ironing and Glenn was right beside me eating mac and cheese. Cliff had a reputation to carry a knife on his belt and well through the years he felt I should have one as well. Although, mine

The landlord at this special place we were at was making difficult to work up another month's deal so we had to find another place to live. It would seem that Jesus is always looking out for us. He never leaves us and he wouldn't leave us now. A very special couple heard about us and decided to help us. Their parents had passed away and they did not want the house to sit abandoned. So they

What now? What next? Where to?&nbsp; We would make in back to Ohio but for me I was not in the best of shape. I felt I needed somebody around me that might, maybe help me in a moment like the one that just happened. Cliff and I had spoken throughout my stay in Pennsylvania and now he knew of what had just happened. For whatever reason I felt I needed to be with him. For whatever reason I felt I

It doesn't get any more heart throbbing then at this moment !! When I heard Heath's voice, I answered, Yes, and fell to the floor to gather myself together. He had told me that they were all gone and he felt pretty sure about it once he knew it was me in the bathroom. Neither of us knew where Ma ran off to but soon she surfaced as well. And soon the police would arrive.&nbsp; The house was

With no time to think about anything any more, I go for the woman who cannot see or hear me, yet, I continue to tell her to get out, get out, get out. I continue to say I will stab you if you do not. But, no indication she heard me say a thing. So, I used my rusty butcher knife and stabbed her in the back which was her position after going after ma. Then with one hand I turned her around to

On this particular fateful night it was rather peaceful well for Ma, me and Glenn. Ma was sleeping upstairs with Glenn. Glenn was not two years old. Such a good good baby and Ma really took to him. There was no doubt she loved him and it was great to see that she did. I would be in the living room with my orange hair typing away with the tv on when I heard some disruption coming from the kitchen.

Heath would quit his job at the coal mines. Can't say I blamed him, they wanted him to climb a thousand feel over the mine hole and do some painting. Well, ok, maybe not that high but way up there. He refused and took his stuff and left. But, this would give him time to meet others and Heath loved boxing. He took his boxing gloves with him where ever he went in hopes for a match. And so he goes

So many things have been changing and for ma as well. Big decisions are hard to make but my ma decided to sell the house and leave Ohio. Her father was still alive in Pennsylvania and up in his 80's. It would be a good change for all of us. She would be back where her roots were. Heath would get away from the crowd he was entertaining and me, well I would leave the whole town and Cliff behind.

Hmmm Glenn is home now and oh my goodness he is a big baby. I see now why it took weeks to heal from the delivery. He was sooooo very heavy too. Awwwwwww, but of all that we have all been through including Glenn for sure, he was such a happy baby. Laughing most of the time. He was so cute and adorable. Looking a lot like Bam Bam. Then of course by this time Shelli had her baby and it was a girl

It would be trying times for sure ahead. A very complimentary thing did happen though and that is that factory job I was doing. The boss called me and another into his office to inform us that they were letting the entire second shift go. But, they wanted to move us to first shift because we were so good. He told us not to say one word to the others or he would have to let us go as well. Well

There he was. My baby !! The nurses were all in the room and just in awe. They kept saying how beautiful he is. Such a perfect baby. That he didn't look all wrinkled like most do. They were so happy they place the baby on my stomach for me to see. But, I wasn't supposed to see. I wanted to and did. But the pain of sending him away is one that can only be understood by another mother. One that

I came up with Glenn because I couldn't really name him Elvis and boy did I want to. Hmmm You all have no idea how close that was to reality !! Neither did I want to name him after Cliff. From what I could tell now that was all coming out is, he may not be a very good man after all. He was described by many as a con man. Of course I was unsure of what that was but I was doing my homework. There

Today I would learn way more then I wanted to. I did come to accept that I indeed was in love with Cliff and he was telling me the same. He loves me. But when he came to see me today I told him I had something to tell him. He picked me up and put me on the counter. I told him and was hoping that he would be happy. And that he would want to make a family, to have a family. His childhood wasn't to

Things are changing and fast. I am now six months pregnant and I find out Shelli is three months behind me. She was huge though.I was hiding my pregnancy but only by wearing big shirts. Not real big to where it would draw attention but big enough. It was getting very uncomfortable though. I knew the time was coming that many had to know. Shelli was out at the house and well I presented it to her

Well, another chapter in Patches life. Cliff would now become a big piece of her journey. They were spending a lot of time together. Let's remember he is 10 yrs her senior. He has blonde hair and blue eyes. Extremely well built and the man of the town. Every girl wanted him. Why was he spending so much time with a little girl that had so many issues. The struggle to fit in to society would

As a 13 year old girl you have dreams and wonders of what will your life be like when you are older. You want to have a happy home.A loving man and a couple of children. You see yourself cooking, cleaning,making the hot breakfast for your family and a warm dinner at night. Fun times like camping or just road trips. These things do go through your mind and yes at this age. For me finding love was

Taking a deep deep sigh !! Of course my Ma would be phased the worst with the death of Pa. She had three minor children, however, Shelli had made the decision to finally get married and had been living with him and his mom. So, that left my Ma two minor children at home. She continued working her factory job and we continued going to school and me I applied for the work program again through

Perhaps I should not have had Pa run around like that in his condition but something made me think he might have like it. A confirmation to himself he still had fire from within. For me, it was a different purpose. Simply that I could wear him out and even had he caught me the energy would have been lost to do anything bad to me. OK, and third, I did get a chuckle from watching him keep running

My Ma was in a very bad way. She was crying so bad and felt so sad and these tears she was crying was not like the ones I had heard through so many nights. There was a pain, an inner pain that seemed to be like no other I have ever seen. My Pa was disturbed but in a need to know type of disturbance. He paced around the kitchen table waiting patiently for my ma to be able to tell him what the
