{ 6 comments… read them below or add one }
For us, it was:
1. Fracking came to my backyard.
2. Husband is diagnosed with Leukemia two years later.
3. Husband dies.
4. Doctors are afraid to speak out about possible links.
5. Non-smoking/never been ill neighbor dies of lung cancer.
6. See #4.
7. The industry keeps touting how “safe” drilling is, however, none of said people will live anywhere near a drilling site, themselves.
8. I will most likely lose my home, after losing my husband of 21 years.
9. Neighbor widow did lose her home, after losing her husband.
10. They cycle continues.
I am wondering about you.
Thanks, Sharon, hanging in there.
Same story,

It’s always the same story
My heart goes out to everyone in strength, light, and love, who suffers, has suffered, or is suffering.
First, my heart goes put to the families affected by the deadly tornados last night.
The tornados aren’t what terrify me ….. watching lightening all around the explosive gas tanks right behind my backyard are. I actually cried last night, as lightening hit an electrical transformer less than half a mile away from the tanks. I was so afraid to fall asleep, and couldn’t, just wondering when our street would be leveled. I thought of the gas company execs, safe and sound in their lovely homes, homes paid for by putting our lives in danger. I’m sure they slept well, visions of dollar signs in their heads.
They have ruined my life forever, and they don’t care.
Nope, they don’t care. I have given their names to Karma but she is very slow sometimes.
