Tattoos like anything actually need to be looked after. Ones on arms do tend to fade and bleed over the years, particularly if the wearer spends a good deal of time out in the sun. Sun is really bad.
I always wonder how those butterflys and things the young women get on their bellys will look after baby belly #2 or #3.
I walked away... didnt really take anything at all, just her bed and clothes, and my clothes. I walked into the relationship with money in the bank and a house full of furniture, I left with NO money, and pretty much the clothes on our backs.
About 4 years later when he left the army he took his super in a lump sum, as we'd never settled, he wrote me, made an offer I accepted and that was that. I certainly didnt get 50% of anything, I settled for 20%.
He got to keep everything... and you know what.. Im happy, Im glad, I hope all the crap he was so frekn desperate to cling too keeps him warm at night, and brings him comfort, cause the child hes refused to visit over the last 11 years - never will.
From my parents I learnt the value of a good education. From my family I learnt 'we wouldnt hit you unless we loved you' and that I have 'no apptitude, drive or ambition.
^^^I left all those things behind about 20 years ago
From life and the kind people Ive met along the way, I learnt that I deserve better, that its not okay to be hit by people, that its alright to keep having a go, that when you think you have nothing you still have an awful lot to give, when you see something is wrong - you step up and be counted and say it is wrong, that you can pick and choose your family - they're called friends. I've learnt that its okay to love, and its okay to let go, I've learnt that its alright to forgive people, and that sometimes we will never get the get the 'sorry' we need, or deserve. That thank you is all that anyone ever needs to say. That if you are genuine, honest, hard working, reliable, loving, willing to be held to your word - you will be able to go anywhere in the world.
From illness I learnt, fighting is good when focussed in the right direction, appreciate each and every day, no matter how down and alone you feel - someone somewhere is praying for you and sending you kind thoughts, real friends are the people who hold your hand or call when they've not heard from you for a few days, and if you dont like your life, or whats happening in your life, get off your backside and change it.
Ive had chemo - I am happy to answer any questions you may have privately - please feel free to PM me at any time. I believe another forum poster here, has had some oncology nursing experience - Im not sure. But I've no doubt if thats the case she will contact you.
there are generally forums for each type of cancer
- they will likely have people there who are either family or patients, and they will be a wealth of information and support to you.
Contact your states Cancer Council - they are absolutely awesome, and have oncology nurses on the phone to help with problems too.
Your son, is facing something that is most peoples worst nightmare, and although you cant take the ride with him, its an incredible support for him, to know that you are there cheering and encouraging from the sidelines. Some days will be hurdles, and when he cant jump them, your loving hand will lift him over them. I can only offer you my support, and promise you my prayers, but they are there
