I’m fourteen, and I just had brain surgery.
I’ll be out for our whole softball season, and I’ve been very depressed. I went to the first game, even though I couldn’t play. I arrived to see every girl on the field had my number sewn on the front of their jersey.
I cried from happiness. My team GMH.
At a BBQ when I was 6, I got my new dress dirty.
When my abusive mother saw, she dragged me into the house. A boy followed us and when he saw my mother hitting me he got his own parents. SS were called and I was relocated to live with that family.
Yesterday, we got married. Tray, your love GMH.

Years ago, I told my best friend, Matt, that I couldn’t go to senior prom with him because my parents couldn’t afford to buy me a ticket or a dress.
The night of the prom, Matt showed up at my door with a beautiful red dress, matching shoes and corsage, and a two tickets to prom.
3 years, a marriage, and one child later, he still GMH.

There’s a girl at my Uni/school who has only three fingers and she’s studying (and brilliant at) IT stuff. I was thinking about this yesterday, about how hard it would’ve been for her to learn to touch type with only three fingers, yet she was one of the top IT students in her grade. Amanda you GMH!
I have always been depressed.
Last night, I called my boyfriend crying, telling him that I wish he was here. We talked for six hours.

4 months ago I was diagnosed with Alopecia. A month later I had lost all of my hair.
I was scared to come to school because I thought everyone would stare at me.
The next morning I heard a knock on my door and ten of my friends were standing on my porch with freshly shaved heads.
Two of them were girls. They’re the best friends ever. GMH
My grandpa was in the hospital and given 12-24 hrs to live.
Everyone was going in to say their goodbyes even though he couldn’t respond. I went in when it was my turn. I am his only granddaughter.
When he heard me talk he opened his eyes, smiled, and said my name.
He is alive two months later. GMH
Today I drove through the McDonald’s drive thru.
Before I drove off with my food and drink, the mentally handicapped employee said, “I hope your day is as beautiful as your blue eyes!”

He said yes to her and and pushed her wheelchair the entire night! His kindness GMH
I’ve always had body image issues.

My brother’s love GMH
My Dad has been deployed to Afghanistan since February.
Yesterday was my graduation from high school. He wouldn’t be able to make it.
At the ceremony, when the graduates were ready to go, the principal announced there was one last thing to be seen… My dad’s face appeared on the screen, congratulating me.
Thanks Dad, for making my night memorable.
Today. my daughter had the courage to tell my 36 year old abusive boyfriend that she wasn’t going to deal with how he was treating me or anyone else in our family anymore.

She’s 17. Her love GMH.
I get nightmares when I’m emotionally distressed.
