watching this video and listening to the song im still not sure if i can accept what i cant change. many things have happened to me but just recently i lost an aunt and i was extremly close to her. the saddest part is she left behind a 13 year old daughter goin in to high school. She wont even get to see me graduate high school, and im 16. I feel sry for everyone her family my family everyone my dad only has one sibling now his dad! His two brothers mom and now little sister has passed and it will kill me even more when my daddy and grandpa go. See i have trouble with death i dont like it it scares me and i think bout when is it my turn everyday and i cant change it and it makes me angry that i cant. Is that normal, is it ok. Im afraid to tell people because they dont understand and say that its life we come and we go. How is it possible though i just dont understand. maybe its because im to young i dont know though. But her death has had an affect on me ever since and i have not been the same since. I just dont want to let go because that means i will have to say goodbye and i dont want to say goodbye because i want her to be in my life forevr and i just want her back i cant live

My mother died when I was 2 and a half, my father is currently really ill. I have been abused in my life by many people. I don't really talk to my family much, the only one I look up to is my half sister. I turned to God multiple times, but always end up back crashing down. This song, gives me hope in a life for the future. I listen to this when I am stressed beyond belief, and yes I may cry a little.But it makes everything better. I may not be able to change my mothers death, or my father, or even the rest...But I know I can change for the better. I can make the world a better place with time. And I am looking forward to the future. The next step. I hope to God that I am strong enough to make it through this step though. I have lost most friends, I have lost everyone out of my life. And it is scary in a way... My grandmother having to do everything for my family. I am scared that I will never get anywhere. I will never have a promising relationship. Next year will be my last year of high school... And Just looking at it like that, I really don't know anymore. I pray that I can change for the better and live life to its fullest. I am also proud to say I have met Leann. :] Bless y

I CANNOT CHANGE that I had a crappy childhood and that when I turned 23 my life changed and my past came up to HAUNT me. I am now 31, married, two kids, live in another country, and just recently found out I have adult ADD (attention deficit disorder ) My parents married young and spent MANY years going through a horrible divorce with little to no consideration as to how it would affect us four girls.I dont blame them NOW but its still hard to struggle with what I do struggle with knowing that what they did has a profound effect on WHO I am today and how I cope with the everyday life. They say sometimes a BIG event (good or bad) can bring up your past & effect your life, for me it was a GOOD event. I got married when I was 23 and less than 4 months later the struggles began with the feelings of abandonment, guilt, shame and a gamit of other issues. Its amazing just how much of what you go through as a child effects you SO much as an adult. I heard this once "RISE ABOVE YOUR RAISING" on Dr. Phil about 4 years ago and if I didnt hear that and with support from my husband and best friend I dont think I would be where I am. Counselling helps but accepting I cant change my PAST

I am a veteran teacher that has seen so many children pass through our doors that need help. They have so much potential, but the world that they live in...one I cannot even phathom, holds them back. We lost a seven year old girl last year to a home that we had tried to get her removed from. The system tied our hands because we asked that she be allowed to stay with us. We offered a safe and loving home, but they viewed us a "wanting to add to our family" rather than wanting to give her a chance. Now we mourn her lose both as a friend to our own children, a students, and a bright spot in our world. We are working to change the system because it must and because we cannot bring that precious child back. I am working to forgive myself for not being able to save her, however, she will never be forgotten!
