Feelings of Missy | Filed under General
Missy
Life is hard,
I will confess,
Measured by the minutes,
Because of Missy.
Sometimes I feel a little insane,
Under that unknown stress,
Crazy with the pain,
Because of Missy.
Rarely leaving my home some days
So difficult to express,
No longer do I often try,
Just too tired to roam,
Because of Missy.
It can be scary and sad,
If I feel alone and helpless,
Clumpsy,stupid, angry and mad,
Because of Missy
Yet I learn something
With each success,
I’m Proud of what I CAN do,
Even with Missy.
With each setback
I take that one step
Ahead I Move
Even with Missy
There are a few reasons you see this here today and the most obvious one is the recent death of Richard Pryor who suffered with Multiple Sclerosis for many years. At times when someone dies that has MS, I spend some time reflecting over a few things which is what lead to the Missy finding her way her on this page today.
I have said before you will see many sides of me and I just allowed you to catch a glimpse of one that I seldom share. When I started this site I made a promise to myself that I would be open with my writing and not force myself in any way. This is just something I felt like sharing tonight.

If I hear myself complain about something as minor as my cough, I wonder how people like you manage to deal with something as nasty as Missy.

Hey girl, I try very hard not to talk about it! At our Christmas party last week, I danced with a friend I have not seen in a long time. I told her I don’t get out much and she asked why? I told her and she turned white! I thought she knew. I suppose I should have keep my mouth shut! Have a good one girl. Take one day at a time!

Good one Vick!

I was saddened when I saw that on the news.
You are a strong woman, that can’t be easy to live with.
You are in my prayers.

Hi Vickie,A sad loss, Richard Pryor, he was a brilliant comedian, I can’t imagine all the ways your life must be ruled by Missy, we are allinclined to complain about our lot at times, but for those of us with good health, we should just offer thanks.

That was wonderful, Vickie. You are an amazing woman. Missy doesn’t know who she’s dealing with.
I didn’t hear about Richard Pryor, how very sad.
May he rest in peace after his long battle.
Love & hugs!

Ms Vicikie. You know how I feel about Missy. Richard Pryor will be missed by Wife and I.

Yes thought of you when I heard that RP suffered through the same disease. I admire your courage - just wanted to let you know that.

I also thought of you and Tracey when I heard Richard Pryor had MS. And like everyone else has been saying, when I complain about little things I think of you and I realize how silly I’m being.
I’m GLAD you post about it Vickie, please feel that you can talk about it with us okay? Together we are all stronger than we are alone……
God bless you!

It does bring thoughts of missy to the forefront, I’m sure. You have a great attitude, and I find writing to be very therapeutic.

Very sweet Vickie! BIG hugs and know you are in my thoughts, you sweet thing!!
December 11th, 2005 at 7:16 pm
That dang Missy..we’re gonna have to kick her butt
Keep the faith Vickie!

I like what Karen said, “Missy doesn’t know who she’s dealing with.” You’re something else, and I admire your optomistic spirit!

Bless you Vickie.

Bless your heart. I’ll keep you on my prayer list. You seem like a strong woman. Thank you for taking time to visit me.

And yet, you show us all what it means when the phrase “Always Forward” is uttered.
Thank you Vickie, for being who you are.

Great message and spirit. Richard Pryor was one funny guy.

I relate. I’m beside you all the way. I’m learning it’s ok to uncover our truth. More on this subject to come. Mi sister of the heart.

I just heard this morning about Richard Pryor passing away, staying away from TV this weekend except for the Dallas game and Survivor Finale.
He was humor and talent in all its’ forms.
I love you, Victoria.

I had no clue he’d had MS. I always thought the phyiscal issues he had were due to the drug explosion that marked him so badly all those years ago.
When I read the article I thought of you and how it must have affected you.
I know i’m not around much these days, but i’m ALWAYS just an email away or a phone call if you’d like. (just drop me a line and let me know)
*hugs*
