Thank you.  I ask God everyday to watch over my son and myself.  If I didn't have faith I don't think I could have survived.  We did have one good thing happen today!!  My son got a part-time job.  He starts in a few weeks.  That will help us alot. 

I hope things are going better for you too. I will keep you and your children in my prayers.  God Bless you and I hope you know that reading your post really helped me.  Sometimes you just need to get a few words of encouragement to get you back on the right track.  Take care!!!

Where to start!  I am 45 yrs old.   I lost my husband in 2005 after a year and a half of fighting cancer.  We didn't have health insurance but were lucky that he had been in the service.  He was able to be placed in a VA nursing home.  Unfortunately the nursing home was a 2 hour drive for me.  So I only got to see him on the weekends because I worked during the week.  We had just bought the house that we always wanted just 5 yrs before he got sick.  And of course we lost the house and my son and I moved in with my mom.  She was still dealing with the death of my dad just 2 yrs before that.  After my husband passed I didn't think things could get much worse.  But then just 4 months later, my mom passed away.  I was forced to move out of my mom's house and find my own.  I was working 2 jobs and then the one business closed.  I do have a wonderful job now but it just doesn't pay enough.  My son is just finishing his first year in college.  I don't know how much longer we can hold on.  I've been tryng to find a second job that I can do from home. My son will be working 2 jobs this summer so that he can pay for his schooling and to help me out.

So in 5 yrs time- I lost my dad, my mother-in-law, my husband, my mother, 2 places to live, and a job.  Everyone keeps telling me that God will only give me what I can handle.  I just keep going everyday but I am getting scared of how to pay all the bills.  So if anyone has any ideas fo rme or can help me in any way, I wold be truly grateful.
