You sound like one of life's great survivors and I very much enjoyed reading your answers.<BR/><BR/>I am a huge dog lover and get enormous comfort from my two little balls of fluff.

Can't get around it. <BR/><BR/>I think it is great that you are the dig-in-your-heels type. I wish that I were more like that, Jamie.

This is WONDERFUL! It is like the frosting on the cake of yesterday's story. And I do understand even better now. Obviously, I can relate well to being the one fat kid in the family - and the fat kid gets no respect. Been there. Rather than letting that defeat you, you turned it into a positive by setting out to prove to them - and more importantly - to yourself, that you could do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING you made up your mind to. No one was gonna stop you, BRAVO, Jamie!! LOL at the reverse psychology thing of also doing what you are told not to or you can't. That sounds a little bit like me too, so we learn the hard way that sometimes that isn't the best idea! :-) But I think you turned out just amazingly! <BR/><BR/>It is easy to understand why, growing up with such a turbulant homelife, you would turn to the animals for your comfort and security. Thus they became far more than just pet - more like siblings and protectors I'm sure. And yes, I can also remember scrambling to gather and protect dogs shaking in fear because dad was scaring the hell out of everyone! The King story hurt my heart to. The stupid, stupid things parents sometimes do. While she may have been trying to hurt your father, she hurt you far more. It WAS senseless and mean. It just shows the lack of compassion that was going on, and why you have had to deal with life, emotions, and survival very much on your own. I am glad that you have retained this love for animals - I only wish God would have made them with life spans to match ours! But I guess this way we do get to love more of them along the way, and each one is special in their own right - and perfect for our life at that time. <BR/><BR/>I wish I had another word besides "amazing", but that IS what always comes to mind when I think of you. Not just a survivor, but an in incredible success - you do manage to "fix it" and keep everyone in your family taken care of, and now I understand why that is so important to you. I hope when you finally reach those "old age" years, your children will be there to return the love and see that you are always taken care of so tenderly and completely. You deserve it!josie2shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15452791371126155173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34674870.post-12516955328266532902007-09-30T08:04:00.000-05:002007-09-30T08:04:00.000-05:00Good morning.
