Good morning everybody. Shawna's last surgery is scheduled for June 6th. We are very excited about this. We can't wait for this to all be over with. We miss you all. I've been thinking about our good friends and how fortunate we are to have you and all of your support. I've been working constantly and haven't had much time for anything else. Between trying to run our landscaping business solo, deep cleaning our house, planning different fun activities for the kids and taking care of my wife. Life seems to be flying by.
We hope that you and yours are doing well and that life is showering you with only love, love and more love. Life is really to short and our friends on here deserve only the best. You are such an amazing group of people. Peace and love to you all.

Well, I had a very bad day today. My main client of eight years who pays our bills just fired me today. It's a
Care Center in our town. I kept telling them that there was a problem with an area that I was unable to fix due to numerous problems. The entire premises has over 600 shrubs, 8 large lawns etc. the property is 95% perfect. Due to them not calling out a company like they have in the past. Corporate came out yesterday and wrote the new Director up for one lawn that had not greened up yet. I pleaded and explained that I've notified the maintenance team of this but no luck.
Shawna has gone down hill. She is in a wheel chair 90% of the time. Up all night with horrible pain. The last four day's she has been vomiting due to pain levels. With no friends or family around or anyone to count on the only person I can blame is myself. My 15 hour days were not enough. It really hurts to know how much I have let my family down.
I tried...I mean doing all the cooking, cleaning, care giving, plus working 10+ hours a day with the business. We still have a few clients but not enough to make ends meet. I believe everything happens for a reason but nothing makes sense. I am not a lazy person. I work everyday from early morning until 11:30pm.
I just don't understand why all of our prayers were not enough. Damn I guess I had to unload somewhere. Best wishes to you all. I just can't figure it out. This place that I worked at looks immaculate accept for one lawn.
Please keep us in your thoughts, Shawna's surgery is around the corner. Her and I are fine and the kids are okay. I need to not slip into depression here. Please know how thankful we are of you all. Life will get figured out. One way or another. Please know that I have given everything my all here and have made what I thought were good choices. I will probably regret writing this. I've just lost a lot of strength today. Sorry to those who were rooting for me.
John don't ever say that you've let your family down. You all have been through so much, and you have done so much for Shawna and your family. Its got to be unbelievably hard when there is no one around to share the burden. Please, try to keep your head above water emotionally, though i realize that is a huge task, its the best gift that you can give to your family, and to yourself.
I too believe that everything happens for a reason. The reasons may not be evident now, and it all may seem meaningless, but I do believe that one day you will look back and appreciate all that you have been through as a gateway to something much better.
HUGS!!!
peace,

Thank you your kind words mean they mean a lot. I just wish that things would of not taken this turn. Even through this past year with all of the surgeries and hard times. I have still made time to help people in need. I did free yard work for four different churches, a shelter, food bank etc. I'm just hoping that we'll be okay. I just don't understand how people can be so heartless. Especially at a Care Center. Tomorrow will be another day and all of the goodness that comes from you and all of the other wonderful people on this forum is what I hold very close to my heart.
I really appreciate everything...I seriously could not of made it through without the love and support of you and these wonderful people. Again, I'm sorry for where things are at. I miss all of you so much including you Jo. Without having anybody directly around it's been hard but it would of been a lot worse without you good people. We love you guys.
I know it's tough right now....just know that you have a lot of people behind you. If you guys need anything, please let us know. I sincerely hope things turn around soon for you both. You are both stronger than you realize & your strength is truly inspiring.
I'm sorry to hear things have taken a down turn, but hang in there and stay strong...this is just a blip in the big picture. And please don't apologize or feel bad about coming here to vent...it's good to get things out and there are plenty of sympathetic ears here. Things will get better. They have to. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
stay stronge...i know you are the one need to do all....
but...but....never let go the faith and trying for the people you love..
as we here,love you guys and will have you always in our thoughts and prays...
you are a fuckin great inspiration of what Love means...
All will be ok...Hugs to you two all the way from Greece

Stupid advice, but when one door closes, another one opens. A better job is around the corner? Rely on the people you have helped. Karma comes around in strange packages. And please at all costs, when you're down, do vent HERE!
We've all been thru hardships. the worst thing you could do is to keep it in. Believe me, i did that. nearly wound up on the 8th floor.
Consider this thread your free therapy :-)
Drop Love, Not Bombs
Peace to you and your family
