They Did and You Can Too
Her husband moved so often, she ended up in over eighteen colleges
Before she finally graduated from one of them.
She had to take classes from three different colleges simultaneously
to finally graduate, but she did it.
His wife died in a car accident, as did his baby daughter.
He could have turned into a hermit, and stopped living.
But he decided to live in order to raise his two boys.
He is now the President-Elect of The United States of America.
Her days were numbered, or so she thought.
Her man took a hammer to her skull, nearly killed her three times.
Her children begged her to leave, as did her nurses and doctors.
He will kill you the next time, she was told several hospital visits.
She finally left, and has enjoyed the best twelve years of her life.
He was depressed, anxious, and despondent after his mother died.
He nearly drank himself to death. Things went steadily downhill.
Did not think he could ever crawl out of the hole he had dug for himself.
He found the right partner, the right doctor and the right medication.
He is joyful, excited with a new life. Has been sober for three years.
