He ask me to make coffee so i did.Carson was fast to sleep on the couch and his friends were cat calling at me saying .they think i should be nice to them.I asked them to leave and they said no not until they eat carson promised then breakfast..i left the house and went to the barn.They followed me.One man picked up a pitch fork and for what seemed like hours raped me..They went to town and told of how i let them sleep with me and how i loved it.The worse part was Carson believed them and he hasn't touched me in 20 years. i aways thought someday the truth would come out..these me have sense died and didn't ever tell the truth                 Then mothers day 1997 my son and his wife came to see me and brought there 2 girls 2 and 5...my son want to take his wife out to dinner so agreed to watch the girls..i would jump at the chance to keep them i said.     Little did i know my life would change that night for ever..i put the girls to bed after were played and they tired me out. I didn't want to wake then so i lighted some candles to pray.I fell asleep. when i woke up i was scared and confused to what was going on .I ran outside forgetting the girls..so i ran back in to get them..there was so much smoke i couldn't see. the wall fall in on me., trapping me to the floor     The next thing i remember is waking up i the hospital.My son was standing there. I asked about the girls and he looked at me heald my hand and said"momma i love you with the love of your lord but my babies have gone to be with the lord now" I through i was going to die at hearing those words.why didn't i die to .8 months in the hospial and 12 surgerys later . I lost my eye and burned 75% of my upper body..my face got the worse of it .And every day i look and remember that day..I feel that now i not so pretty ppl stare and point,but in all of this i have my God to confortme in all things . Today is a good day in the lord my son has had a new baby girl and they named her after me beth for me and hope for a wondeful life so BETH HOPE is going to be a joy in my life..now i have 13 grandchildern 2 with the lord..life hasnt been easy but God has alway been there for me Now a new focus for me is to tell of jesus love and the hope that some how i can give alittle of me each day for the lord. i do love all in this world..i hope if you see me ,know i love my lord and i live for him each and every day   God bless you and keep you all of your days, and i pray that you are highly bless by God   ```†† BETH ANN †† go with God!!!!!
