i rec a very awesome and touching post from a friend from high school last night....sorry Denise Pursley for just not responding..... Ok Shanna Echols-White You are next on my friend list. I met Shanna at Wylie High School and her and Lori Wedeking-White were the cool chics!! I really talked to Lori a little more, bc I dont know if Shanna literally has Adhd but she always seemed to hyper. She would talk to at least 50 people during each passing period for sure. Shed say hi, whats up and shed be on to the next person. I can remember thinking I wanted to be cool like them SO bad!!! They had the bodies too. I think they developed faster than the rest of us!! Lol. They just had these gorgeous, college girl figures, and yes, uh, the boys noticed, so wherever they were, I tried to be hanging around too. Shanna got to wear REAL makeup, and I barely got to wear any. My sister remembers her brother Steve, but I really do not. But I just remember thinking I need to copy whatever she was doing!! To this day I never saw her smoke a cig, but for some reason I had the idea that she smoked. I also thought that was cool, But my mom warned me beyond an inch of my life about smoking, so I never dared try it. Shanna, if you didnt smoke my apologies. I just remember thinking she just had an aura about her and I still feel that way. This is another one of those FB experiences, where I havent seen much of Shanna till FB really got rolling, or I got really rolling on it. Now I know how very much she loves her 3 sons, and I dont see any difference in the way she feels about the older boys, and the way she feels about Land on, who is adopted, God love her, I do not know how she chases a 3 year old at our age. He prolly keeps her young, but I swear on my life I do not have that kind of energy. Im so thankful she took in this baby, although I do not know his whole story. I just somehow know they are both better off. And her two older boys have never left her side, no matter what shes been through, and that reminds me a lot if my own kids. I put my poor babies through hell and they forgive me, just as her sins forgive her, so I feel we are kindred spirits!! Ok, Ill mention him Lol. Just Joking but I am so very happy that she has found Toby Lieb. Ive seen his name so much, Im confident I have spelled his name correctly!! Lol Lol Lol Seriously, I think it is rare that you truly find your soul mate in life. I know it sounds cliche, but that is what they are to one another. I am so glad he was there for her during her mothers death. I did not get to go to the funeral, but somehow I think on this life event, Toby was the glue that kept her together. just so you know, Im waiting on an invitation to a wedding and soon!!!!!!:) Shanna you have helped so many people with their addictions, and you have controlled your own so very well. Im still trying to get mine totally under control. It truly is one day at a time. Shanna you are really larger than life, and I know like mine, the first half of your life was rough, lets pray the 2nd half of our life goes a little smoother, and hey I swear I hope we have it easier and yes have some friggin fun!!!! You are an awesome person, and Im glad we are friends!! There are few people I feel I could really talk to, but I know I could talk to you and for that Im thankful. Now if FB would quit trying to break us, up we could stay friends!!Lol FYI FB has bumped her off my page twice!! Thank goodness she just keeps refriending!! to you denise....... i read this last nigh and t i actually cried. its funny how we see ourselves and how others see us. i had just been looking in the mirror before i read this and was cussing myself for the weight i have gained since i quit smoking. i read this and thought about how i used to look in the mirror back then and criticize things about myself...mainly my weight. . i had no idea you sat back looking at Lori Wedeking-White and me and thought these things. wow...what a compliment. lori and i just coasted through the halls and neither one of really would have thought anyone wanted to be like us. lol as for the smoking...you were right....i did smoke. i smoked up until jan 1st 2014. trust me it was not a cool habit to have picked up...although i didnt realize it then. haha i didnt realize a lot of things then. its funny....you talk about me going throgh the halls talking to everyone...i dont really remember that but Kimberli Vaughn Mikkelson has told me the same thing. all i know is i never understood Classes and by that i mean putting people in Classes....stoners, preps, nerds. (i didnt understand most my schools classes either...lmao) but...i never did understand why people were put in them. we are all the same...just people....teens trying to get by. i never felt like i fit into one certain class but i was put into the stoner category im sure. lori was the coolest person i had ever known and the easiest person to get a long with. she still is. as for my kids....i do love them with all my heart and soul. they are and always will be my life. i love landon as if he were my own and i am very blessed that God chose me. we travel through life and never really have a clue. id of never guessed at 31 id be starting a horrific journey into addiction. but...during my darkest days of addiction i would have never guessed that id come out into the brightest days of my life. i could never have dreamed that God would have chosen me to take that ugly road for HIS purpose. HE needed me to travel that path so that i could save others one day.....what an honor. thank you from the bottom of my heart for your message. im a very spiritual and sensitive person and i did not take this message lightly. i take most things to heart and this is one of them. please....know your worth and know that you dont want to be like or be anything other then who and what you are. i love you Denise Pursley for exactly who you are. i pray for you often as we have spoken in much detail about things you suffer. im always here if you need anything. God Bless
