First I want to say thank you to a wonderful business who is making a custom piece of jewelry to honor Silas. I won this beautiful piece of jewelry through a contest they had on their Facebook page. Tiny Dream Shop
Ok, so now back to Sunday this past weekend. I was having a very hard time, I missed my son, we are fighting evictions, I miss my girls, & my husband & I have worked for a few companies that have been screwing us over on our pay!! So 3 weeks of NO income finally began to take it's tole & break me.. I was at my wits end and didn't know what to do.. My pride told me to not say shit because people have their own problems & no one cared. My depression had me post on Facebook my problems and fears, & that I was ready to quit.. As always my Cherubs family members were there to support & encourage me to hang on it will get better & I had them to talk to who knew what I was going through..
To my surprise though an old high school friend asked me to call her so she could listen. Mind you the last time I saw this friend things weren't exactly sane... lol Things left on crazy & chaotic terms.. We have been friends since we were young middle school/high school. Mind you not only have we not talked in a long time, but she lives half the country away. Now, for those of you that say you are alone & no one cares, or you have no friends, or there is no hope I beg to differ. You see this friend ordered pizza/wings & Coke to be delivered to our home & then called the local grocery store & ordered a gift card for us to buy food for us to have food!!
So when you are suffering because of your pride, kick it to the curb! When your fear keeps you from speaking out, post anyways! You will NEVER get help if you don't speak up because no one will know what is happening to you, because someone whether it a friend or stranger someone will step up & extend a hand up..
Now not only has this amazing friend done all this BUT when I asked her why she was doing all this after what we went through & she simply said; "That's what a true friend is about, & it's the right thing to do, so stop saying your sorry!" ~J.S. Even more than that is that she is gathering all her friends & having a rent party for us! Not one of those people know us, but they are good friends with her & she has called upon them for their help & they are there to step up to the plate. To each of you that help us thank you in advance. My friend simply stepped up to the plate & asked me how much did we owe to save our home. Amazing woman, mother & friend! I Love you J.S.!
My husband & I finally got a hold of the guy the ripped us off our pay & when we told him what was going on due to his malice, he offered to send us some money. It wasn't what he owed us, but at this point something is better than nothing. We have spoke to the landlord & they are gonna work with us on our rent by giving us a week or two to come up with money. We have found another vacation package company that will set us up in our home to work & we have a couple odd jobs to help us get by for now. That should all happen by the end of next week.
My husband & I finally got to speak to his parents in Dominica, BVI. That was nice & when we talked to them we have realized that we have nothing to worry about. We just need to focus & get our grind on when we get to start working. If we work hard for one year & save our money after getting back on track & our family will take our business that we built at home here in the US to Dominica. There in that beautiful island I will continue to raise our children & grow old there..
The moral of my experiences & story is that there is Hope, people do care, pride & fear can hurt you, to speak up because someone cares!! God is great & I thank you for all lessons learned through good & bad times.. What does NOT kill you WILL make you stronger!
