**Tonight I am beginning Entry thirty-five,
Another day is conquered, & I'm thankful I'm alive.
Also it is now year twenty-twenty-three (2023),
I'm curious as to what this new year has for me.
**As I'm hoping & I'm praying for my pain to be quite low,
But because it changes daily, its severity I just don't know.
So I will just continue to battle & fight like hell,
Perhaps this year we'll find a cure, yet only time will tell.
**Also one thing about me is I don't give up easy at all,
Even through the unbearable times, when I stumble or fall.
Plus I'm still refusing, to show this curse defeat,
When my health & life are concerned, I will not be beat.
**But through this new year twenty-twenty-three,
I vow to remain as happy as I can possibly be.
So if this brand new year of ours, happens to find a cure,
It will be worth every prayer, that I have prayed for sure!

"Healing For My Gracie-Goo"
**To everyone who may be reading,
I need a favor from all of you.
I'm begging & I'm pleading,
For healing for my Gracie-Goo.
**She's my daughter & been coughing throughout the night,
My poor baby's not had much rest.
Please pray that she will be alright,
I just hope she'll try her best.
**But to hear her coughing & going through this,
It's not what parents want to see.
Before she laid down I gave her a kiss,
Rather than having her suffer, why can't it be me?
**I just love my girl so much,
I just pray that soon she's well.
Lord send down Your healing touch,
And send her sickness back to hell!
**So now I'd like to thank you all,
For letting me vent to you.
I didn't know on who else to call,
To pray for healing for my Gracie-Goo.

**This is entry number thirty-four,
I'm sorry I haven't written more.
I tried to write something every day,
But then I didn't have much to say.
**So this evening I decided I would write,
And I believe this entry will be alright.
I'll talk about my neuropathy too,
And how the symptoms are painful and true.
**For example tonight I've not much pain,
But all my symptoms still remain.
Still I wish it wasn't to be,
With everything still bothering me.
Like the electric shocks within each leg,
To make it vanish, to the Lord I beg.
And it gets to the point where it hurts so much,
All I could ask for is God's healing touch.
**For no matter what I try to do,
The pain is still very much in view.
And my heart still says they'll be a cure,
In the near future I hope for sure.
Plus I hope in this you'll see,
That if I can beat this, so can we.
So now I ask you to hang on my friends,
And let's keep praying that our pain soon ends.

**I've taken my meds, why can't I sleep?
My body is tired and my thoughts running deep.
If I laid down, I know I'd start aching,
Wanting to rest, this pain is breath taking.
**At times I literally want to break free,
And be rid of this condition swallowing me.
For it has caused me to be over stressed,
I just can't help I feel so depressed.
**Plus it's caused a whole lot of grief,
All I ask is to have some relief.
And these pains I've noticed are shooting everywhere,
Why can't I pretend they're not even there?
**Especially when my legs are the very first to swell,
It makes it even tougher to walk very well.
So when will a cure be under way?
Because I can't take this suffering everyday.

**Feeling somewhat down today,
Most times I do not understand why.
But lately things aren't going my way,
So all I wanna do right now is cry.
**Like whatever I've said or tried to do,
My partner doesn't realize she's not been there.
Or whenever I've tried to make her see my point of view,
She'll respond by rolling her eyes & act like she honestly doesn't care.
**Then we would argue even when I've not been wrong,
In her eyes I'm the one at fault, though I've tried to make her see.
On my inside I am bawling, but outside I'm stiff & strong,
I don't think she'll ever know, how her ridiculing has seriously affected me.
**So I'll continue hiding how I feel the best I can today,
We just don't seem like we're happy like we were beginning from the start.
But the fact I've now realized, she'll always ignore anything I say,
It's truly affected our relationship, which in turn, has forever crushed my heart.

**My doctor confirmed my condition, during our telephone call one day,
It's known as Peripheral Neuropathy, & it's nothing like I thought it would be.
It's progressive & incurable, affecting my nerves in every way,
And I still can't fully process, that this is actually happening to me.
**Plus I cannot believe, all the torture this condition can do,
The number one thing that scares me, is that it's going to destroy my nerves.
Also taking my motor functions, & my sensory to feeling too,
For this is one condition, that nobody on Earth deserves.
**So now with a better understanding, that I may never be rid of this curse,
I'll have to discover new ways, on how to be able to live with this & cope.
In a sense I've come to accept it, though uncertain of how it gets worse,
But as long as I keep pushing forward, I'll know that there's still hope.

"THANKSGIVING DAY"
**Trying to decide on where I should start,
To sum up all I'm thankful for, it's a little bit difficult to say.
But I'll do my very best, as it comes from my heart,
I'll begin by being thankful for this beautiful Thanksgiving day.
**The first thing I'm thankful for, which will make number one,
Is my wonderful Heavenly Father, who continually shows me His love.
I'm thankful for His sacrifice, to us His only Son,
As that confirms His absolute promise, which is our home forever, in the Heavenly skies up above.
**The next thing I'm thankful for, which marks number two,
Is I'm thankful for my family, who have put up with so much from me.
For I'd be lost without my family, & I wouldn't know what to do,
And they all make me feel, the greatest I could possibly be.
**Lastly what I'm thankful for, although it tears me apart,
Are all the amazing loved ones, who have already passed away.
Til I see them again I'll be happy, as they live inside my heart,
Until we're together forever, so we can celebrate Thanksgiving Day.

**Why does my mother think she can keep on doing this to me?
Yet even a few years later, I do not have a clue!
Though I've told her many times over, so what is it she still doesn't see?
Nor does she consider, what all I'm fixing to go through!
**Plus I clearly mentioned my surgery, it's now less than one month away,
Yet stubborn as she remains, she just has to have us there.
And everything I have said to her, it doesn't matter what I say,
Neither is she considerate, I can't believe she just doesn't care!
**So she'd better get a home health aide, before I mentally break,
Because my family nor myself, can't keep going like we've done before.
For I have literally hit my breaking point, I've just had too much to take,
For this is a losing battle...I cannot fight anymore.

**Thank You, Precious Father God, for this amazing, beautiful day,
And thank You for allowing me, to once again reopen my eyes.
So that I may enjoy the Earth around me, created in Your own way,
Filled with love & peacefulness, & of wonderment surprise.
**For I refuse to take my life, for granted anymore,
From now throughout Eternity, I shall follow & serve only You.
In Your Name all things are possible, like I had never imagined before,
Plus whenever I've had a wish, You'd provide a way to always make it come true.
**But if You thought what I desired, wasn't good enough for me,
You would say, "Trust in Me," which I would faithfully do.
And, "For I have something much better in store, that I'd like for you to see,"
For whenever I trusted You completely Lord, I'd realize Your words were true.
**So I thank You again so gracefully Lord, for Your guidence & Your love,
I thank you for Your miracles, which You have already done.
For whenever I may need You God, I just look to Heaven above,
Forever You are my Savior, because You are the Risen One.
