I could feel how down she was through the phone, she sounded awful. When the doctors took the growths off her leg a week or so ago, they confirmed that the skin cancer had spread and... Mon, 21 Jul 2008 21:35:42 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/116402/journal/1199181 I stayed at my aunt's house this weekend, because she has been complaining that I spend every weekend at Victor's and she could use some help cleaning (her back room has been a mess since long before I moved in here) and she can't do it alone. Victor and I agreed that this weekend would ...

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 22:35:35 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/116402/journal/1186588 I was just in my group "Back to the 1980's" and I couldn't help but think of my childhood. I turned 10 in 1980 ( I was born October 2, 1970) and what a wonderful time of my life that was! I remember that my parents had an above ground swimming pool in the backyard and everyday duri...

It's beautiful! He did also get me a new cell phone, it was time for an upgrade and Mr. Gadget couldn't resist! I was fine with my pink razor, but I guess I'll be getting a new pink f... Sat, 12 Jul 2008 20:25:36 +0100 http://dailystrength.org/people/116402/journal/1182997 Well, I am back at my aunt's for the night. I am going to watch her dog in the morning when she is at work, and then back to Victor's for a cookout at one of our friends. My new cell phone didn't come in today so I'll have to wait until next week to get it. Victor loves gadgets,...

Why tell me you bought me a present just to torture me? He...
