FROM SOUTH CAROLINA
Wow ...my name is Victoria at this time I take care of my 95 yr old father. HE IS MY WHOLE WORLD AND HAS BEEN SINCE I WAS OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW HE WAS AND STiLL IS MY FATHER WW11 marine Scout, Husband, lover of Christ, wonderful provider, brother''father and friend. It sounds crazy but I miss my dad, yes he is alive an I see and talk to him but I am his caregiver now, my role has changed. I don't mind wouldn't ever put him n a home .I just wish I had a sibling for support. I took great care of my mom from 2004 till 2011, also my sister was murdered and my oldest brother, also he was my best fiend, he was killed n a car wreck, and well thank God I am a Christian and have a relationship with Jesus. I get real tired; I've never really have had time to mourn or even want to I have two great boys and they give me no issues ,I have one sibling left who wants nothing to do with me or our father its so sad. In the mean time I must remain strong. Everyone is watching too so when I will break but they don't know I'm already broken but that dissent mean I'm not fixable through my prayers and love for Christ and my faith and family. I know God will put all the right people n my life and or get the wrong out. In Gods Love Amen
