On June 14 of 2007, my mom at age 47 had a massive stroke. In December and a month of feeling good, my mom started to become engaged wit pain. A week after Christmas we found out it was pancreatic cancer. She was going and fast. My last decent time I remember talking too my mom was when she called too talk to me about her final wishes. That was too hard to take, too hear the person you never without, say too you that they are dying. On February 29, 2008 my mon died, leaving me (her oldest son 23) and my brother (16) and my sister (12) alone without her. Its not until now 6 months later that the effect is taking its tole. However, I dont blame God, nor do I blame anything.. Its life.

Dear LeAnn and Dean, (3)(VA)
My family is very hush hush, so we shove things under the rug and do not speak of it.
I have cousins i never see, family i probably do not even know of. I only have two aunts left but do not talk to the one really b/c of the husband.
Oh God LeAnn. I have not always had the best relationship with my parents and i have definitley done some things I am not proud of, always questioning whether God has truly forgiven me for all my mistakes no matter how big or small. But b/c of you and your music I have spent the last few years trying to better myself b/c I know i can't change the people around me and I have to do it for me. Con't...

I love this song, first time I heard it I cried, I too have had many a dark times in my life, starting from childhood abuse and broken home, my own struggle with addiction, which this september will be 15 years sobriety for me.. then in 2000 I lost 7 family members to death, the only family I have here in GA now is my Gram who has Alzheimers and cancer, and my two sons, I too am sick and have many health problems, but through all this I learned God does everything for a reason, and though sometimes we dont quite understand or grasp why something traumatic happens to us, we have to trust that God is in control and everything happens for a reason and in the end his will will be done..

My marriage broke up in '02. I moved 2000 miles back west and worked 3 jobs nearly non stop to get settled, I realized I was not only down from the separation but I could not stand me anymore. What I finally found was that I needed to remind myself what went right in the day and I wrote it down. After doing this everyday (the sun was up, breakfast tasted good) - I wrote a what went right versus what went wrong in my day list. I realized I allowed 10 minutes of stress to ruin 23 hours and 50 minutes more. Since then I Thank God for what I have and have found fantastic friends, a new job and music that helped me heal. Thank you for being part of that LeAnn!
