Blog EntryFriday Five - The times of my lifeJan 18, '08 9:26 AM
for everyone



This week's theme THE TIMES OF MY LIFE was provided by Lisa.

What are the five events of your life that have had the biggest impact on you . . . whether it was personal and/or public event? Elaborate as much or as little as you want!

Very interesting theme this week.  I have done this several times, specially when I've been in therapy.    Through the years this list have change sevaral times also.  What I consider significantly in my life when I was a teen may be now is not as important.  So this is my new version.  Had to think about it a lot.


1. When my maternal grandmother die.  She was the only person that I loved so much.  She taught me to crochet and do a lot of things.  She also taught me music (she was a professional music teacher and choir master).  Also she taught me the value of having a close spiritual relationship with life and the power of praying.

2. When I finish my Nursing Dregree - It was very special because I showed that I can do anything I want if I try for it.  Doctors always told my mom that I was not going to live to be adult and here I was becoming a full adult with a job already as an Oncology nurse (I started to work even before graduating).

3. My 1st marriage.  He taught me to love someone and at the same time to hate someone.  He taught me later to become a survivor of physical and emotional abuse.  Thanks to him I became a stronger person.

4. 2004 in general.  That year I travel the 1st time to Egypt.  Met my 2nd husband.  Lost my babies.  Had a great time on Palmettos.  Had several health scares and got out of them all.  All this not in the exact order because I can't remember all the dates.

5. Meeting my now husband.  He's the most worderful person I have ever met and he has change my life.  He's teaching me to trust again and to see that we can have a brighter future even if the past has been so dark.

It is amazing how a bad marriage can teach you so much. It is wonderful you have a new husband and the support he must give you. It took me a long time to fully trust Aksar. So sorry to hear about your babies. That is the hardest thing for any women to have to experience.

Sounds like you have become a true survivor. My Grandmother started teaching me how to crochet I learned how to do a chain stitch. She got sick and the was diagnosed with a brain tumor and died in 1979. I really miss her.
