Many of you know that I spent the past summer going back and forth from my home in Florida to help my sister in Washington DC who had cancer and emphysema. She died in August. When I first arrived at my sister's home, I was shocked to see that she looked 40 years older than her 56 years. Her hair had turned white and thin, her 5'6

Splash, you are one I always look for when I am on this site. Your love for the Lord shines through you when you write and it always encourages me. I also know what it is like to lose people you love. I got to be with my folks until they both passed away and I am glad that I could be there for them. My sister never came to either of their funerals.
You being with your sister was a blessing for her and for you. If you ever want to talk about your grief feel free to contact me. I understand what it is like.

Splash. Your post has touched my heart as how honest and open you shared this for us, knowing that it is not an easy thing to do. I can see and understand why you chose to post it here. I suppose your sister and I had similar behaviors. I too got to a point of isolating myself and not letting anyone close to me. Isolation is very dangerous to a person who is addicted.
I am proud that you were able to take care of here her last few months. I am also proud that you chose to share yourself with us. I Do know that there will be some who struggle will the same kind of addiction. Actually, most people will deny the fact that this has become a problem with them. I am just thankful that God gave you the courage to share as you can and will help others in return. I have seen you grow here in such a short time frame and you turning your will over yo His will Daily. I know that you have sought God's power to do this, and sometimes the temptations are there.
It has been such a pleasure to share for us to share with each other and to become brothers and sisters in Christ. You have been such a blessing to me and are such an asset to many here. I could on and on as this has thrilled my soul to see God at work in your life. You have brought a smile to my face as I see you healing and becoming whole. God Bless you my friend and I praise Him to have given you the strength and courage to do so. Luv Ya. Real.

Splash,
Your post really was so intense and emotional. My heart felt for you. So proud that you have handled things with such grace and know that God will do all things if we only will let Him. I feel like I know you even though we have not conversed with each other. Real has truly been blessed by you and your friendship and Christian Love truly means a lot to him. When someone cares for him and the Lord, they become my friend too.

Keep up the good work and trust in the Lord dailey to see you through the rough times.(and there will be more) but His grace will see you thru.

God Bless You
