At 18 years of age he [Hemingway] volunteered to be a Red Cross ambulance driver in Italy. It was there one night on the front lines that an Austrian trench mortar shell exploded just three feet away from Hemingway, cruelly injuring him as 227 pieces of shrapnel tore into his legs. Soaked in blood and unsure if he would live or die, the Protestant in a Catholic country found himself praying for the intercessions of “Our Lady and various saints.”


Crucially, an Italian priest happened upon the shelled soldiers hanging onto life and anointed them in the rite of extreme unction. In Hemingway’s Faith, Mary Claire Kendall notes that “Hemingway considered July 8, 1918, a day of spiritual rebirth. It was the day he had stared down death and was ‘anointed’ and absolved of his sins.” From then on, he called himself Catholic.'

You came to fill an unfillable void in your "mom's" life and mine... and now you leave a void of your own... we will miss you forever too... there is no other Toby like you... but now you are resting.. and all the suffering you were going through is over... so go on, run and play and lick the legs of anyone you catch off guard....❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏

So instead of ranting on whats in my head I am going to go another way with this lol. Remember who is there for you, do not hate the ones who arent but know not to count on them again. Yes life can be difficult but each day is a new one WITH a chance for a better one tomorrow. No you do NOT have to forgive people and tell them that you forgive them you can simply forgive them and move on for your OWN peace. Dont gotta say shit to them. Be you, be happy, be authentic and dont let anyone tell you who you are because 99% of the time those who complain about who you are have no clue who they are.

Had to move into an RV because I couldn’t find an affordable apartment. My new apartment was infested with springtails and I got really sick and developed a stress rash all over my body, so I bought an RV and found a nice RV resort to live in. I’m really depressed right now and feeling really emotionally drained. I wish I were allowed to just have a normal life. My bf and I were supposed to do everything together but now I have to do it all alone because he left me for another woman… I hate my life…

Life's been busy and hard but I'm going to stand tall or die trying
