The Face of Heart Failure

I feel like I am on a merry-go-round when I have to keep explaining why I have to lose weight. Instead of just listening to me some men that I have encountered have gone on to say they don't believe I have a heart condition and I shouldn't be losing weight because I don't need to. They have no idea what this life has been like and I really am so over talking about why.

After my diagnosis with Congestive Heart Failure I wanted to find a way to spend time with my sisters and make some lasting memories. Sistabond was born from this idea. It started with just me and one of my sisters Sandra and my cousin Desiree in 2011 and it has truly blossomed into what you see today and it has grown steadily. We get together maybe two or three times a year to catch up with one another. Great food is our commonality and encouraging each other. We always close with prayer and what each of us is grateful for. I love my my sisters and I look forward to us always being close, even when distance my separate us. There is always love

I have had to fight my way back from a lot of adversity. There are times when I really wanted to give up and say, okay Lord, just relieve my body of this affliction and lets just be done with this life. I am so glad that my Father God knew better than to call me home prematurely. There is still a work to be done and I lost sight of things getting caught up in my own life and the things that I felt I had no control over. I walked away yet again from a man that I thought I would love forever, but the way this thing is winding down there is really no such thing as forever with anyone. You have to love people while they are in your life for however long they may be in your life. I have said it before, that no one is going to make it out of this life alive. You cannot force people to stay in your life, and then there are the ones who will bleed your life until there is nothing left to be given, Takers are the hardest ones to decipher, because they don't necessarily reveal who they are
