Re: Hillary Clinton going all out to win in South Carolina

There's an old South Carolina saying that goes like this – some people would rather climb a tree to tell a fib than stand on the ground and tell the truth. The truth is Hillary Clinton's campaign is pulling out all the stops to win in South Carolina. And it includes saying and doing just about anything to win."

Something has to happen with the energy. Life can't... living can't be stagnant. It has to keep flowing. Thank God for the ups and downs of life. Some might say that life should always be good. No downs, just ups! How would we ever be challenged to grow if things never changed and stayed completely the same? Maybe everyone isn't interested in growth. I am. It's time for a change. It's time...

...it's time for me to go get my baby girl.

I don't know what I'm trying to say. I just felt the energy inside that moved me to say... something, anything.

Been So Long...

It has been so many months since I last posted here. I don't even know what to say.

I miss my mom so much. She passed away on August 22, 2007. She had cancer, and we only learned that that was the case in July. She lived for about 7 weeks after finding out. The news crushed us, but at the time I felt very numb. I was just getting by, getting through it all.

I'm so glad I spent her last days with her. I last saw her on a Saturday night and she passed early Wednesday morning - a few hours after midnight. I keep imagining her taking her last breath. Thank God I did not have to witness that as my brother did. The thought makes me feel heavy.
