17

I was in a car accident when I was 18yrs old. It changed me; and NOBODY gets it.

I hate how terrified I am in a car, but nobody cares to understand.

Half of my life: being controlled by fear absolutely sucks:

Elena said...: I get it, I truly do. I do understand what you are going thru. My car accident at 19yrs old was nowhere near as bad as yours and I have fears to this day when I'm in a vehicle. Your accident caused you to be near-death so being terrified in a vehicle, even after all these years, is completely understandable. I have a lot of empathy … it’s especially hard to forget or get over an accident like that when the injuries you sustained continue to affect and impact your life in the present. xoxoxo; February 01, 2012 9:32 PM

~ SANDY ~

He was born Sep 25, 1996; and I adopted him from the Vet Clinic that I worked at, when he came in as a newborn with his mom and siblings. I gave him to my Grandma Ross, and she loved him so much. When her & my Uncle Johnny passed away, I took "Sandy" back to live with me. In his prime; he weighed 18lbs and is now an indoor cat. When he first came to California, he brought a lizard into my house! In February 2008, I had to make the tough decision to remove is right eye as it was causing him a lot of pain. He's my little pirate and loves to try to get outside!

~ FELIX ~

I met Felix at the Shelter I worked at. He was left at the shelter gate taped up in a cardboard box. He had EXTREME behaviour issues and they were going to euthanize him. I adopted him. He unfortunately sprayed and urinated in the house - so he ended up trying every mood altering drug out there - and even wore piddle pants in the house. For a year, I tried desperately to find a new home for him. On Dec 11, 2010; Jeff & I drove him out to his Aunts' horseranch in Murrietta to live out his life chasing critters and basking in the sun.
