This is a true story of my life. I have changed the names of my sisters and brothers to keep from embarrassing them. This story I have had in my heart for many years. This is how I see my life through my eyes- the tears I have cried over the years they will never know the heartache. We had hard times growing up this some times makes you a better person. I think. ' I was told by a very important person' if you have not experienced any bad times in your life. Look out this earth is not a easy place to live without some heartache.

I love all my brothers and sister more than they will ever know. I just wish them all the happiness in the world. I know other people have had bad experiences in their life as I have had. I also have had many good times when the phone rings and its a good friend that has helped me thru some bad times and always been there for me. God has been good to me all these years I would never have made it without his help. I have tried to write this story so some one out there to enjoy and 'see' you can be poor and have many blessings. I have a very dear friend that helped me through so many hard times, always doing things for me, I dont know what I would have done with out her help, Setting in the hospital long hours never complain. Talking when I wonted to are just crying with me. Janice Koser I can never Thank You for all the things you did for me. Remember you said thier was t
