Missing

This one goes out to anyone who has lost someone close to them, is caring for a loved one with an illness, or anyone who may be dealing with a period of adversity.

My mom passed away on Feb 1 2012 after a 10 year battle with early onset Alzheimer's disease. During this battle, we lost our home and most of our possessions to foreclosure. There was a time not too long ago I was living out of my car, searching for coins for a crappy cheeseburger to eat, depressed, and lost.

Sometimes it can feel like the world is ending, life is over, and there's no hope. It took me awhile to realize if you are alive and breathing, there is always hope.

Stay positive. Work hard. Keep pushing forward. Create your own destiny. Things will get better in time. I promise.
