[QUOTE="nvts, post: 171348, member: 3814"] Linda, my heart hurts for you and I wish I could come and help you! I don't know if this helps, but you've proven to be such an inspiration to me. It's natural for you to feel down and out, and it's natural for husband to feel overwhelmed. It truly stinks when it feels like even "the big guy upstairs" is kicking you when you're down. But try and remember the poem "Footprints". It reads like this: Footprints in the Sand One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky. In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there were one set of footprints. This bothered me because I noticed that during the low periods of my life, when I was suffereing from anguish, sorrow or defeat, I could see only one set of footprints. So I said to the Lord, "You promised me Lord, that if I followed you, you would walk with me always. But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life there have only been one set of footprints in the sand. Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?" The Lord replied, "The times when you have seen only one set of footprints in the sand, is when I carried you." By Mary Stevenson I know it's hard to throw it to faith (I don't know if you're even INTO religion - just trying to help!), but sometimes when I get totally fed up with life handing me lemons, I (in almost a defient way) hand it up to God and tell him "well, YOU"RE the one who's perfect, so YOU fix it!" And sometimes he just does. Love ya and hope you're feeling better soon! Beth [/QUOTE]
