- The birth of my nephews - The difficult years leading up to my hysterectomy, and then the hysterectomy itself which altered perceptions about myself and changed how I looked at what I wanted out of life - The ending of a very important friendship, one which I'd truly believed would always last - Meeting my fiance 
Why did the friendship end? | |

The death of my mother started a blackening of my soul that I am not sure I can ever shake. The death of my nephew from cancer at 14. The birth of my children. The realization that most of my relationships are uneven and that I really can't trust anyone 100%. How many children do U have V?  | |

I hear yah. I can say my own divorce was definately a major turning point. Walking out was hard and yet so empowering. After the storm, everything tasted so sweet.

The tough things in life make us better people. We become better by experiencing the worse. | |

My first friend died when I was about 5-6. He was actually a neighbor of ours, and he got shot in a terror attack during a trip in the mountains.
A co-worker of my mother died when I was about 10, when he was sky diving in France. A friend of mine who served with me in the army, died a month after I was released, when she was sitting in the back seat of a military car, and the driver was trying to pass a truck, lost control, and she flew out of the car, smashing her head on the ground. A while later, another friend from the same group of people I served with, hung himself in his mother's kitchen, after she refused to help him fight his father in court, when he sued him for sexual assault when he was a child. All my grand parents have passed away. My mother's partner in life for 17 years, died of lung cancer, I think it was 7 years ago or so. All these deaths have taught me how to appreciate being alive. To still enjoy thrills, but to keep it to a sane level, and just to be happy for being here. | |

Another turning point...
Meeting a man that loves me as I am. He never pressures me. He truly loves me unconditionally.  | |

And I haven't forgotten Hokie, just didn't want to list her in the same thread with all the dead.
She has revealed to me that there is someone out that, that can truly love me (romantically), and be so perfect for me. I've never thought such a person exists. She is my true angel, and it has revived me, bringing hope back into my life. This is the first time in my life, that I truly feel loved, in the way that everyone dreams of. | |
