My Supports

My support group is very important to me being that I am not living around any of my family members. Family is so important and sometimes we take them for granted because they are always there, but just imagine if they were not around for whatever reason, a move away, or death.
I have experienced both in recent years. About seven years ago I moved away from my family in Michigan, and Four years ago this coming June, I lost my Mom, and within those years before she died I lost a grandmother, an aunt, and a first cousin. Each of these people were extremely close to me and I now live my life without them, and those who are still living are in different states, so the support system I have around me is very important to me and my young son.


The host of friends from my church and a few that live around me is my support team. I almost lost them when my family moved to another state this past fall season. I felt lost and got so sick and my son's grades dropped as well. I knew right away that we had to get back to the state we just moved from. I did that, but it caused me a living without my husband, so I now have to do everything myself and it is a huge challenge, so the support around us is very important to me.


I now need some one to help me get my son picked up from school, so without that help it would be very dangerous for my son and upsetting for me. He is only in the 4th grade and is an elementary student. In my opinion, if you have a great family and good friends supporting you embrace them and don't take them for granted live each day celebrating them, because you never know when your world may flip and turn upside down.


Keep supporting the children!
