My life today going into,2009,What I hoped for when I voted,for President Elect Obama.

 

Today is January 18th 2009 Sunday morning featured the inauguration of past president the policies, the clothing, ceremonies, wives ,children,and as I get more and more excited about being a part of history, I think back to the 70,s and 80,s a single mom with drug and alchol problems and how far I have come   and where Iam at today, since 1991 I have been clean raised 2 good kids watched my son live his dream and grow into a good citizen and a great person in his own right.just serviving in our world on a day to day basis, As a mother all you want in life is to do better yourself and for your kids to do even better,I got my G.E.D. quit drinking,worked bought my first home, married the man I love,watched both my kids graduate,got off of welfare and public assistance quit going to food banks was secure in my husband retiring from his walmart job as a mechanic,my daughter finding love,and being a good homemaker,my son being the best artist and well known throught out the world,I have lost both my parents and have felt like a orphan at the age of 40,I have had 2 heart attacks,but we have always survived and kept going everything working out.
Today  I am about to lose my home ,my 2004 truck,I went to the church and got food,i applied for welfare,my husband lost his job at walmart after 11years and then was laid off from firestone after 2 years,his unemployment is being held up,and were days from loosing everything we worked for in the last 20 years,my health is bad and his is worse, we are responseable for 3 dogs and a macaw, my son was homeless after a apartment fire and he lost his 1990 jeep that took him to festivals with his art in a 15 car pile up in S.C. on his way home for Christmas. my daughters home was foreclosed on, she split up from the guy she was living with,but i still have faith they will be ok.
My son got another apartment with the help of the Red Cross, he was put up along with a friend and their 3 dogs in hotels, he went to the Salvation army to get food ,clothing and furniture, he still needs to get a vechicle for his art a truck and a camper to go from festival to festival but hes ok, my daughter has met and moved into a new apartment with a good guy who loves her.
I  Have hope in President Barrack Obama, I have hope for our future, But I am a realist and I know hope will come to late for my husband and our home, I dont believe that on January 20th 2009, That I will be able to tell you how I am going to hold onto my home ,truck, possesions,memoroblia from a lifetime of living,or how i am going to pay my utilities ,or feed my dogs and bird or what to do with the stuff when we are homeless we wont have room to take pictures or alot of clothing we wont have money to take care of our animals or anywhere to keep them, family are in no position to help they are having the same problems
,On the 20th I dont think there will be someone calling my husband for a job and giving him a decent wage for the 30 plus years of exsperiance. My bank account is not going to have enough money in it to just pay the bills or buy a few groceries,I dont know where we will go or what we will do, I am beginning to feel beaten,I am scared for us and try to keep in mind the millions of others in my position,that keeps in mind the reality of it all,in your face reality,I dont want to start over but I pray to God that if it happens I will have the will to go on, the know how to start from scratch taking care of the ones you love, it has been my job all these years and now I ask myself am I up to the task,I have thought of sucide just like others of past depressions, I ask my God to help me and the others,when you get to a age where your tired of struggling,I think of what kind of money would make my life all that i need,house 55k,truck 10k,current bills 1 thousand,and a hundred for groceries, dont seem like a lot but to me it may as well be a million, but I have hope that our new president will be able to make my kids life easier,I hope that I will be able to see the change I dont exspect miracles from President Obama after all he is just a wise man wisdom as everyone knows takes a lifetime and he is young ,I am hopeful that when he looks at Sasha and Malia that he will keep in mind my son my daughter and there future,I want to make it thru the next few years and I will do my best but if I dont succeed dont judge me just say she was tired of the struggle,know that she was strong for 40 years,and she had many accomplishments that she was proud of,mother, wife, daughter, and yes she is even a author of a spiritual book of poetry called Meesages Given that her son designed the cover for and has a story wrote by him when he was in high school about his Hero,and she had the staring role.She was tired That is all that needs to be said,her faith waivered to a point of no return for her and soared for her children in our new and history making President Barrack Obama, I am excited and am looking forward to seeing his annaguration and has i watched him vote with his family by his side I wondered if they really knew the anormatie of what they are a part of and now there life as mine is, will change forever, May God always be in their life.
