Unfortunately with anorexia there is no ryhme and there is no reason. It is a terrible disease to fight, often one that no one on the outside understands. The reason why I know this, I too was annorexic from the time I was 16/17 until I was 21. I looked in the mirror and saw so much fat, I couldn't stand myself. My family looked at me and saw skin and bones. I'd cry if I thought I'd eaten too much, there were times that I got sick and was telling myself that it was because I had a bug but I know now it wasn't. I feel for your SIL Racheal, but I feel more for you having to watch it. I hope that some day she will recognize what she has done to her body and to her babies, I hope that day will come before it's too late!!!
Heidi- I misread, yes it's Marissa going swimming. I'm a little out of it. Sorry Hun!! Love DD's comment too btw, she is so cute, she puts a smile on my face! TY for sharing her with us!
I'm having a pretty rough night. Just got off the phone with my dad, he tried to down play it but it sounds like my grandfather is dying. I am pretty heart broken. I lost my first grandpa when I was 7 and I have always thought (stupidly I might add) that my dad's dad would live forever, that nothing could touch him! He had a slip and fall shortly before DH and I met and start dating and had to have brain surgery for a anerusim. At that time they gave him 5-7 years before he started to go down hill. DH and I have been together almost. So I guess it's getting ot be 5 years. I am so heart broken, what if somethign happens to him and I can't go to say goodbye for some reason?! I love my Grandpa so much.
I'm trying to remind myself that we don't live forever and that he has had a long life and that i shouldn't get myself worked up, but this is my Papa! The one who cried at my wedding....
