hi all. yeah yeah... fifth contest, whatever
i just found out some horrible news today. My aunt, my only aunt (my dad's side) died today in my native country.
She had been living alone since september 1997 when her only son was killed during a turmoil in Albania. The two who shot were such animals, that did such crime just to take his car... even though they meant to just scare him so he would get off the car. it was poorly lit corner... he was hsot in the head and neck.... died in the hospital the next day. i was about nine years old. i looked at my dead cousin (my favorite cousin) in his last bed... and than my aunt gave me the necklace he was wearing at the time he died, 23 yrs old. It is a small horseshoe, with a head of a horse. This is a good luck charm... but it gave no luck to him. so i have been wearing that golden necklace since 1997.
my aunt was living a alone. the walls of her small house were like a memorial...with pictures of him everywhere...and the last outfit he had on. He was her only son... and he was one of the most wonderful ppl to ever step on earth. His name in albanian meant star.
She lived alone, and did nothing but drain herself out of tears, and ate nothing.
today she died... calling her boy.
i'll never see her again... there have been five and a half years that i left albania... and i'll never see her again.
Please write something about this.... tell me that they are both better now. Make me cry.... whatever.... just write something.
if you need anymore information you may IM me.
I will offer more points... i'll see what i can get.
enter as many times as u want
1st 550
2nd 200
3rd 100
June 3rd- And i just found out that a weeke before she told my uncle who went to visit my family in Albania, that she would die in less than a week. she was right. they believe that she committed suicide with overdose
And i hate it now when the phone keeps ringing as people keep calling. I wish the phone would just blow up...
yeah.... so.... that's it

I just now saw this my beautiful daughter. I see that my wonderful Sister (your new and Lovely Aunt Wanda) Night Hope, has been here already. Allow the beauty of her words to embrace your heart and sooth your soul, My Love. Know that I'm there with you...even as I write this, I'm thinking of you and sending prayers your way. I'm holding you very close to my heart, hoping that somehow this helps the pain of the sadness you are feeling now. You are loved more than you know, Dearest One.
Much Love and Many Blessings,
Mama Lily ♥

Oh I'm so sorry for your loss! Hope you feel better soon. That is indeed a tragic story. I will definitely enter this contest if I do get the time; if not, I just want to wish you good luck and hope this contest helps loosen the grief. I've never had any of my close relatives die, so it's hard for me to imagine what you feel, but I can easily guess that it's terrible losing someone so dear to you. If you need to talk, I'll be here. Good luck with this contest... hope it turns out well and helps you out.

Sweetie, I won't be entering this contest for reasons that I am sure you are aware off. And I know that you undersatand that this does not mean that I do not care. I know that at this presesent time this seems like an awful tragedy . But as time foes by and everyone heals , maybe it will be then that you will see this in a different way. I am neither a clairvoyant nor a psychic ( but I am very intuitive), and I can just about guarantee you that through your life you will fel and maybe even see the presence of your dear aunt and your cousin as well. If , as they say she committed suicide ....please forgive her. She did not mean to hurt anyone. But the pain she felt at the loss of her son was more than she could bare in this life. Suicide is not a stranger to me. My dad did it ( I was an adult already and this past February a very close friend also chose that way out . I neither condone nor condemn it ( but I do understand it). I am not sure about the religious ramifications in Albania ( I was brought up Catholic) and Catholicism considers it a sin to take your life. Who are they to judge the life and pain of someone else? I have abandoned Catholicism for Spirituality , believing that we all are interconnected....people , animals , plants , Mother Earth and Father Sky and so much that we will never understand. And I know that you aunt and your cousin will be cheering at your graduation and they will be so proud of you and much closer to you than you can even fathom
much love always,
reenie
PS. I have not mailed anything yet , but keep your eyes peeled for the mailman shortly before the 27t
