Thank U I do feel very proud of myself, I spent a year and some months debating if I was going to leave colorado and move back to Buffalo, my whole family is there but realistically I didn'dt see them that much even when I lived there and I am glad that I stayed, I am so happy now. No stress. My last seven months in Buffalo were spent in an apt on the West Side of bflo not a good area, drug dealers and prostitutes on my street, someone pulled a knife on my dog on a walk, the first day I put my fear aside and drove to the store there was a shooting, the first day I LIVED there there was a fight in front of my house w/ twenty people chasing each other with bats OMG, and the last incident that made me decide I had enough altho my move to colorado was big and impulsive , a police helicopter was flying over head looking for someone who did a home invastion GREAT, there were several officers on the ground searching too and my HOUSEMATE was all in it asking the police if he COULD HELP, heloved this stuff and I realized he could never understand my fear and i Had to leave ,and I DID in a big way LOl Thanks for listening.
OH the Highlights living on the West Side were a woman nearly drowned ina city pool turns out she had a seizure while swimming and her son got her out the lifeguards DID NOTHING, .the neighborhood all rallied together and this is a very multi cultural area and had a beautiful prayer vigil for the woman and she is doing well. The other highlight was the Extreme Makeover Home Edition came to the West Side and redid a ahouse about 8 blocks over from my house, it was a very exciting time and the city had an energy and buzz about it, I will always love Buffalo but I will NOT be going back. Sorry for rambling . really realizing I had a lot, and there is a lot more that I Need to heal from but I am taking it daily. HUGS . Kristen.
