graceanne said:Thanks. I didn't really want to, I'm a pretty private person, but it got to the point where I had to tell someone! It was eating at me. And it's not fair that she should die, and no one know about her, or what happened. She deserved better. I guess to some she's just another statistic of abuse, but she was more to me. She was my friend. Her name was Ella. She had three children, Sarah, Macy and Mallory. She was 22 years old, and worked at a bank to help provide for them. She was in colledge when she got pregnant with Sarah to become a graphic artist. She had two sisters and two brothers. Her oldest brother named his first daughter after her, and that was even before she died. She was such a wonderful person that her brother named his first child after her! (That embarrassed her to no end. It was so funny, I just laughed when she found out that he was gonna do that. LOL) She was vegan, meat would literally make her puke. She raised money to help children with leukemia, because her sister had leukemia, and so it was a cause close to her heart. When she miscarried Nathaniel she cried. She called me after the D&C and cried to me. The only thing she wanted in life was to take care of her children and be loved. She didn't ask for a lot and she got nothing.
Marquis said:I believe that God calls us all for different reasons. I don't get religious often, but when it comes to something as mysterious as death, I don't think we have much choice but to have faith in divinity.
graceanne said:I agree. I think everyone has a calling. I just don't like mine. I think, quite often, God puts people in my life cause they have a 'broken wing', and I'm there to help ease their burden. I think God put me in Ella's life to help ease her onto the next world.

Marquis said:I often wonder what my purpose is. I try to do the right thing, but it often seems like I am only able to bring others pain. It's enough to make me want to isolate myself in a big way.

jasonlf said:You have to change your perspective. You have a unique ability to tell people things as they are, regardless of the consequences. That's a wonderful gift.
Marquis said:Yeah, I can't tell you how popular it makes me.
Netzach said:It's not a popularity contest, though. If it is then heaven will be populated with third tier actresses.
graceanne said:My word. *shudders* Don't talk like that, you'll give me nightmares.
Netzach said:It *is* a creepy thought, no? Luckily I don't think it's a popularity contest.
Marquis said:Yeah, I can't tell you how popular it makes me.
jasonlf said:You'd be my first choice for a friend.
I tend to surround myself with brutally honest people. Hell, it's how I quit smoking. One of them got upset about it, and made me feel badly.
Marquis said:No matter how honest you are though, people will always see ulterior motives.

Marquis said:Subbie women are my best friends.
I've given up on close male companions. I have a lot of associates and that's good enough for me.
