OT-I am sooooooo outdone

Hey thurr everyone,
I tell you that "LIFE" is such a mystery that I find myself typing this post with a spinning head.

Check this out.

There's this lady that I attended Jr. High and High school with as a teen. This girl came from a notorious family and she was obviously the worst one of all. She bullied everyone, could whup a man, has been known to poke a few with one of her many knives, and I personally witnessed her beat down one of my friends as I stood there afraid to do anything other than pray to the Heavenly Father to spare my friends life. The next day was my turn to experience the wrath of her beatdown as my badgered friend prayed on my behalf.

Anyway I was happy when she got pregnant in the 9th grade because I figured having a baby would channnge her evil ways. (It didn't) infact she went on to have many children as fast as she could pump em out. Her youngest is 8 and lives 2 doors down from me with his Father. She has grandchildren that are much older than her youngest child.

Anyway, there has NEVA EVA been a time when I have had anything good to say about this person. That is rare for me because I can usually find at least something good to say, enemy or not.  She was just the worst of the worst and ended up living a life of drugs and alcohol and who knows what else. Just plain sad. 

I was well into adulthood as I continued to either hear the stories of what she has done to someone, or I would read in the newspaper a report of something happening and she once again being hauled off to jail because of it. I considered myself BLESSED and shielded by God's unchanging haind for not allowing our paths to ever cross again after highschool.....untilllllll

Last summer when I walked into our laundry room and there she stood folding a pair of socks. Due to my massive weight she didn't recognize me and I kept my big mowth SHET. I told anyone who would listen about my encounter and later learned about her having the son here. She and the Father were on again off again so this was another on again episode. She was here for 2 weeks and left. I didn't see her again until a few weeks before my surgery. 

2 Weeks ago mama and I were on our way to the car and I had placed a bag of garbage on her rolling walker. I was going to roll it to the dumpster after getting mama in the car. Since this was the day that we hit 70 degrees, Dee was outside with her boombox as another neighbor was grilling. Anyway, Dee spoke to my mother, smiled at me and then said to my mom, "let me get that mam" She grabbed the bag and walked it to the dumpster.

As mama and I were traveling I told her that she had just stared the spawn of satan in the face and lived to tell about it. I told mama the stories and stories, and stories, and stories. I discussed that lady the whole time that we were gone. I said mama I SWEAR that this was the FIRST good deed that I have ever seen this lady do.  I told mama that the true story will be told once I finish losing weight because she will no doubt notice me then

(Okay I'm almost done)

Anyway I was later happy to learn that she was making a change and on treatment for her addictions. I SAW that change just by the simple act of her carrying that bag of garbage for us. There was a time when she might have crashed that bag over somebody's head. 

I'll be DAMNED if I didn't just go to get my mail when her son's father walked up and said, "You remember Dee right?" I said yes, I actually went to school with her and have known her for over 30 years. He said in a very slow sad sigh, "Well everything is over now...she got hit by a car last night and died while crossing the street.

I couldn't BELIEVE it, to do all of that dirt in life and within a MONTH of making a change for the better, she gets snuffed out. I was speechless and my heart went out to her boyfriend and little son. I am just too through.

Thanks for listening to my ramblings, maybe God just waited for her to change and then decided to take her on home. I will be reeling from this one for a long time. 

R.I.P. Dee

I really do hope she made a change for the better.

Thanks Wonka,
I hope so too. Everyone is trying to figure out why she was out at 2 in the morning running across a busy street

 I am glad that you decided to share this life lesson with us. We are all just a day away from meeting our maker. However, we should give our lives today to the Lord, because tomorrow is not promised. We have all heard so many times that the Lord moves in mysterious ways and this is the truth. God Bless you for sharing your story, it has really touched me, and I am sure others will be touched as well.

You are welcome,
I have never witnessed the likes of this. I've heard stories but it has never happened to anyone that I knew with that type of track record. I always thought that she would lose her life during her hey day.

If I see a long post I never read it but........I know this was meant for me to see. Wow ~ what a sad story. I will be keeping her family lifted in prayer. Life is but a vapor.

Hey thurr neighbor,
you are right, life is but a vapor. Thanks

((((Que)))) 

((((((Faith. How are things going? bl me and let me know.

WOW....I really don't know what else to say.
