Easy, the death of both my parents within 2 months and 2 days of one another, in 1997. One died of cancer, one had a heart attack.

2005

My mother got cancer, my kitty (who was 19 years old, I'd had her since I was 11 and she lived with me everywhere, she came with me when I moved out of my parent's house) died and I got dumped, all in a matter of months.

There were nights I cried so hard I'd vomit. No joke. There were days I wouldn't get out of bed for, well, days.

It was very yuck.

Watch my newborn brother get his lil ding-a-ling sliced up was one of the most horrible things I had encountered.

No dark clouds today

Being homeless for a year an a half.

My aunt was diagnosed with cervical cancer and then passed away about a month after that. Then a couple of weeks later, my cousin got into a car accident and died. Everything happened so quickly and it was all very shocking for me. I don't think that I cried about it until we had a mass held on the one year anniversary of my cousin's death. Julys are still really difficult for me and I feel they'll only get worse because of more recent events

Being in an abusive relationship and the death of my cousin due to domestic violence.

Giving a child up for adoption.

My Divorce this year...

and how it is affecting my kids
