Pieces of A Dream

I haven't talked about heart failure in a minute because I have been dealing with the loss of my niece Shannon. Her life was so pull of potential. I saw so much of her tenacity in myself. If I was bound and determined to do something I was just going to do and damn what anybody had to say. I loved drinking, smoking and partying. I was wrecking my body in the long run, I may have very set the stage for what has happened to me so I accept the part I played in my own life. Oh, I'm sure genetics played a role too, but I wonder how much of my mother's heart failure was due to years and years of abuse to her own body. I don't know if I will really ever have the answers for why any of this happened to me. It's harder now to lose the weight. I can no longer take supplements to help. Buying anything over the counter could have serious repercussions for me. I am not allowed to do the things that I feel are beneficial to me, but going against why my doctor tells me is also the very nature of who I am. I bucked at authority all my life. If I didn't get the answers that made me satisfied I often did the exact opposite. I had to learn the hard way to stop living like that. I have to ease my way back into my own life now piece by piece.

Failure to Communicate

Last night we almost lost each other all based on a failure to communicate with one another. He is the other half of my beating heart, and yet; I felt farther away from him than I have ever felt. He was hurting, I was hurting and those loving feelings were beginning to wane from one another. I wanted those longing looks we would give each other, you know, that knowing, the desire, the unspoken language of love and mutual respect that we had for one another. He is my best friend and I wanted desperately to be his again, but when one has shut down emotionally, the other is faced with the dilemma should I stay or should I go and the fact that my blind eye was making him feel unwanted when all I ever wanted was him and our life together, but I had to almost lose him for me to see just how important he is to me and for that I will never take my husband for granted. I will be very vocal about the way I love him, not only through my words, but my actions, I will always communicate and defer t...

Where Is The Love?

I never really know from one day to the next if I have ever felt loved and appreciated by my husband. He can be so shortsighted sometimes and it frustrates me and infuriates me at the same time.  There are times when I feel like he is just biding his time until he gets his car paid off so he can really show his natural black behind to me. I have done more than a woman in a loveless marriage would do and still I stay but make no mistake about it I won’t continue to play the fool.  There’s no passion no real connection between us. The mechanics of sex is there but is that real love absolutely not.
