Ever have
One of those bad nights
Where nothing goes right
Everything goes wrong?

Like your Dad catches
The stomach flu
And you can't get a ride
To where you need to go

You call up all your friends
To catch a ride
But they are already gone
Or are getting 5 million others
And can't get you

Then you get a call from your sister
Who is only 6 weeks pregnant
Says she is spotting
And she was put on bed rest

She asks for your mom to go down
For a week to help around
Which leaves the house and cats care
All up to you
And you are like
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I can't handle this

Next thing you know
You get bad news about your grandma
That she could be dead before the new year
This is your breaking point
You start praying that nothing else bad happens

You want one good day
Where nothing bad happens
And you think
Will that day ever come
With all these bad things

Cold hands means a warm heart

I've had similar life. I believe it's called "injustice".

What is life without poetry and adventure?
"Little sister" is just another way of saying "Guardian Angel"!

It's funny, but these moments seem to come with only the reason to test our load limit...
I think you will always pass the test Julie.

When it rains... it pours, Julie...
But maybe when the sun comes out, you will see a rainbow

Like Lyra said, when it rains, it pours. Hope things get better for you.

Julie, it never rains but it pours and when the rain is done you will see both the rainbow and smell the flowers. There is nothing in life that is wholly good or bad but each event is a mixture of both. Try to see the good in the situation. Good write

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Julie, I'm so sorry you've had a rough weekend, sweet friend, these things do happen but know you will pull through and there is a good explanation to everything as the rainbow will inevitably come out! (sigh) I send angel hugs and thoughts your way, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Julie, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Julie, when you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on! And remember, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger!

~ sending a prayer for your sister and your grandmother and a big HUG for you!
