[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 539102, member: 1514"] Tia...let me tell you I totally get where you are coming from. I know you have heard me mention on here - probably several times - that I was kidnapped and raped at 18. The date was June 12, 1980. I dont think it is a coincidence that I have been feeling rather crummy the last week or two. It has been What? 30 years now? I can still vividly recount the entire thing. I even remember what I was wearing. It used to be that I would go ape from the beginning of May until the end of June. Like clockwork. You might as well just not expect me to be human. For awhile we didnt know why it was happening but then we caught on...a duh moment there! When Keyana was due to be born in early June in 2006, I didnt know whether to be happy or scared to death. I wasnt sure I could handle something good happening during that time frame. I was afraid that if her birth was, oh heaven forbid, on that date I would simply lose it all together. Actually it probably would have been a really better thing to have replaced very ugly thing with a beautiful thing. As it is, I have found myself looking forward to her birthday so much during normal years and actually find myself forgetting the date all together. This year has been different because she isnt here. I dont have here to distract me. Nothing special happened. It was just another day on the calendar that I noticed the date of and I wasnt busy with her. But for me it did take 26 years. Thats an awful long time. [/QUOTE]
