Meg's Story
In high school I never felt like I fit in. My grades were not great and I remember being depressed most of the time. I married the love of my life in 1977. He could do not wrong and I worshiped the ground he walked on He was a GMI grad from Ohio named Steve Haverfield. Eight months after we married he died, of a viral meningitis. I moved around to FL, TX, CA for 10 years lost in drugs and alcohol. Remarried in TX to a herion addict. I have two children. My first child was born happy and healthy for 5 months, then was diagnosed with meningococcemia, a bacterial meningitis. This disease has a 98% death rate. Now mind you this has nothing to do with what my first husband died of, and both diseases are highl...Expand for more
y rare, but fatal. With the grace of God my son Joey survived. At present the disease took (amutated) his feet, fingers nose. He has scares all over what is left of his arms and legs. He looks like a burn victim. He has just been through his 46th surgery this past March.. He is a inspiration to everyone he meets. His father died of cancer 4 years ago. I still fight that depression I had since high school and am a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. I should be a walking bill board for Prozac, thats the only thing that has kept me sane? At present I support both kids , 21 and 18. I work at a Indian Reservation selling cigarettes. I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. Whats new in your life?
