Just the facts, ma'am

[bubblegumtotchi]

For those of you that haven't been subjected to my incessant and continuous whining about how pitiful I am :P I don't talk about my disability that often. Not because I'm ashamed of it, or trying to hide it. But just because it's simply a fact of life that can't be changed, and I see no point in using it as a crutch or excuse. I don't mind

I put on a happy face, and deal with all of this stuff for her sake. Because I have to. I have no choice. And despite my disabilities, I am still alive, and not being so was a very REAL possibility. For that, I am thankful every day that I wake up in pain, because at least I DO wake up.

And THAT would be why I admire you so much and think of you as one of my inspirations. ♥

*blush* You know I'll never feel worthy of that admiration, but thank you, Miha. It's because of the love and support of people like you that I am ABLE to go on and deal with these things. ♥

Don't be so modest. XD I swear, you're just as bad as I am. xDDD ♥

*snickers* Runs in the family. :P ♥

You told me a little about this a few years back when we first met, but I never knew all the details or the full extent. I would have never had any idea if you hadn't told me. I admire how well you deal with things and are able to be the great person that you are. :)

*hugs* Thanks, Ash. You've always stuck by me, no matter what. Even knowing what you already knew of it, you've never judged me for it, nor made me feel like you felt sorry for me. Like I told Miha, it's the love and support from you guys that lets me know that I CAN keep going. <333

And all this....

Makes you an amazing person. ♥

i never knew you were disabled, and never that it was this severe. i respect you for handling it everyday, the pain...all the disadvantages like you cannot go to work and stuff. you cannot even work or your disabilitiy income will stop. that's so rotten of all the so-called civilized countries in this world.
and now you deal with family problems here and there.
if i would face this i'd sure be dead by now. because it took me something 'less' to worry about that i thought about i not wanting to live anymore. and i still need time to recover from my depression. and you deal with it on 'the side'. that's why you get my full respect.
i hope you care for your soul, because if your disability can't be cured in any way or get better you should make sure that your soul stays healthy. so don't just out on a happy face, just say when you feel down and be sure there are people who are there for you, when you suffer.

*hugs* I could tell you the same about that last part. :P
But seriously, thanks, hon. ^^ I just don't talk about it a lot unless someone asks or something, cuz... what's the point, really? It's there, it's not going away, so why dwell on it, yanno? The way I see it, while, yeah, to some people, it sounds bad, I know there are others that have it far worse. I still have my life, and people that care, and that's more than enough reason to go on. ^^

[hitsujiga]

it's not like you should whine about it..just from time to time say like, you want to take a rest today or something like that. because it's okay. even if others have it worse, it's about you. just don't lose your positive thinking in that way and go on.

[bubblegumtotchi]

Okay, okay, I get it! XD I promise that I'll take a break and step away from things if I need it. Though, that's one of the things she doesn't get, too. She has friends she can invite over or call or go places with. But being pretty much confined to the house, getting online IS my human interaction.

I have always admired you for everything that you are able to do, and now I admire you even more for it. I did not know the full extent of your disability. *hugs tightly* There are those who would have given up on life a long time ago--I know, because I've seen it happen, and I'm probably going to see it a lot more because I'm a nurse.

But you are one of those resilient few, who wakes up in pain and still goes about the day, doing everything that you can. You take good care of Amy, and I know that you do everything that you possibly can--and even more than that.

Don't ever let anyone tell you that you are anything less than amazing. You are above and beyond that, and there are those of us who know that, and are grateful and honored to have such a wonderful, brave individual as a friend and family member to us

*snuggles* Oh geez, now you've gone and made me tear up again. (in a good way, though <333)

Seriously, thank you, darling. You guys make me blush, you really do. I feel so undeserving. I'm just a normal person.

But thank you. It means the world to me. Like I told Miha, it's you guys that give me the strength to go on, to know that I CAN go on. Because I have the love and support of absolutely wonderful people. ILU guys so very much.

(You're welcome, darling. I had to think fast when I realized that sending out cards was a no-go this year, and it was all I could think of. LOL I already told you you don't have to do anything. I'd be good with just a fic. Hell, *waxes cliched, though true* I'm happy just knowing you care. ^^ <3333333333333333)
