First of all I want to mention my reaction on the class sharing we did today. It was such a wonderful experience to see how we are all human and that its okay to show our emotions, I believe each person in this universe has something to share about memories. It does not matter who you are and where you come from at one point or another you experience memories. What we all did today is something I will never forget. This is such good activity to do with my future class, this is good way to learn about each other and hopefully the outcome would be to be respectful with one another and to appreciate life.
One of the memories I would like to talk about is my "Most Precious Moment I will treasure it like Gold." My Wedding Day! I believe this day represents the saying "Things Happen for a Reason" It is like a cycle that connects with the rest of the precious memories I mention in class today. First of all I like to mention that am a child abuse survivor, growing up in a domestic violence home was not easy. It was about surviving my childhood. I was a run away at a young age, I needed to be independent and be strong in order to survive.I worked hard my entire childhood earning pennies. Due to my experience with my step father as I grew older I did not believe in men in general. My live was a Cinderella story,that was my nick name. I had low self esteem, I did not believe in myself. I hated live and was paranoid of everyone since I had lost trust. Meeting my husband is one of the the most important memories that had ever happen to me. He was different then all the men I had met or dated. My husband and I would spent hours and months talking over the phone before we actually went out on our first date. We were friends for a while, then we became steady and of course we finally ended up getting married. If it wasn't because we met, I would of not met his wonderful mother, she died one month before our wedding. Thanks to god, for blessing me with this wonderful man and who has helped me believe in my self we now have two wonderful children. In my Wedding Day it was about us, It was a dream come true. I felt I was floating in the air like a true princess. I always tell my husband I am truly blessed with my Prince Charming. I do not mind being called Cinderella, since she married "The Prince" I believe that we will be together after death. Like I mention earlier the world gave a circle everything I touched in class has a connection, "Things Happen for a Reason" My husband and I have been married for 11 years and God willing this October we will celebrate our 12th anniversary and we will light our Wedding Candle.

Hello Blanca,
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you, wasn't that just so touching and yes you saw me crying, I couldn't help it. This is something I will never forget either. If you notice a lot of people were close to their grandparents and they lost them too.
I can relate with being married but i didn't have the actual wedding. I do want one though and maybe one day we will. I love my husband so much too and we have had are ups and downs and I still love him I don't know what I'd do without him. You know only a couple of us are still married to our childrens father and i believe thats just great for the children. It's so hard when its a one parent household, for the parent and child. Don't you just love this class!!!!!!!! I DO
Blanca you are a true survivor! It must have been very difficult for you to stay motivated and continue to try and live your life. I truly believe that everything happens for a reason and because of your abusive childhood you are such a strong and independent woman. You are truly blessed to have such a wonderful man and partner in your life. You are an inspiration to many!
