Heather Didn't Want To Live In This World


As I look around at the different things going on in this world, I can totally comprehend why Heather didn't want to live in this world. Granted, I wish I could have stopped her, but it was her decision and there is no undo button in life.

This past weekend, for the most part, I had to shut down social media.I just couldn't take it anymore. We had the largest gathering I have ever heard about, scattered around the USA, for women's rights. I had such hopes for this gathering. However, I had to shut it off. While the leaders of this gathering could have been proud and used this gathering to enable real change, instead, it was mostly spent trashing our new President and asking for his resignation. Really? Those are the changes you want? How about equal pay? Well, let's see, the majority of the speakers were from Hollywood and to be honest, you couldn't get the furthest from equal pay there. Oh yes, they work so hard - sometimes 18 hour days. Of course, they deserve millions for their time memorizing lines. Let's be real, nurses, etc work those hours and enable real change and well-being in people's lives.

If this was supposed to effect the outcome of the election, they should have held this rally before the election. This election ended 2-1/2 months ago! The time for that voice is long past. Imagine what could have happened as a result of this weekend if those in charge offered real solutions. Instead of trashing our new President, they could have offered real solutions and because of the turn-out, they could have gotten the ear of our President and actually talked to him and opened up lines of communication. Nope, they just wanted to whine.

Next on this weekend was the playoffs for the Superbowl. Again, I didn't watch any good sportsmanship going on here. I heard fans just trashing the other teams. Really? When I participated in sports, win or lose, we congratulated the other team on a game well played. This morning, I still see people trashing the losing team. To what point?

I would love to see a world where we built each other up instead of ripping each other apart. While I miss Heather tremendously, there is nothing I can do to change it. I can voice my opinion that we need to treat others how we want to be treated. Stop whining and start reaching out with some real solutions. If you don't like what you have, be the change you want to see.

RIP Heather

Rest in Peace Heather Suzanne Crespo July 16, 1993 - October 26, 2015 My beautiful daughter, Heather Suzanne Crespo, was only 22 years old. She left so many of us behind. She truly touched everyone's lives who were lucky enough to meet her.The hardest thing right now is the question everyone is asking and the one I really don't know the answer to. Why is she now gone from our lives? She isn't with us anymore because she gave too much of her heart and soul. When comedian Robin Williams passed away, the world truly felt his loss, A lot of us learned so much from him during his lifetime. He made us laugh and forget our problems for a while. We learned even more after. Depression is very real and sometimes the ones that feel it the most, strive their hardest to ease the depression of everyone around them. They know what it feels to hurt and they try their best to make sure that others stop feeling that. In turn, their hurt just builds until they can't shut i

No One is Perfect

No one is perfect, but we can all try to be better every single day! Heather didn't want to be in this world and, to be honest, I don't blame her. No, I am not going to join her, but I am going to try to be a better person every day of my life. Do you have problems in your life? Me too! We all do! The question is, how do you deal with your problems? Is it everyone else's fault or is the problem in decisions that we have made. Yes, there are situations where good people get hurt for no apparent reason, but I'm not talking about that. Do you think everyone judges you? Are you judging yourself? Are you trying to make changes and feel like people doubt you? Well, depending on some of the choices you have made in the past, it may take a while for people to believe you. Maybe some of your choices hurt others. However, if you are changing for the better, keep changing. You won't convince people that you have changed by your words. You need to show them the changes b

Happy Birthday Heather - I love you! Always!

Another birthday without you here on Earth with us. I have to say, I have the 3 best daughters in the world. Yes, Heather, you are included in that. I miss you so much! I don't know how I am going to live with this pain for the rest of my life. I remember when you were born. We were all so excited when you arrived. You were (and are) perfect in every single way. I was so nervous something was going to be wrong but all was better than I could have ever hoped. Granted, I really don't like hospitals, but you were so perfect, we were on our way home hours after you arrived. One of your favorite things to do was to pose. I think this is one of my favorite pictures. It's so funny to watch Carter. He doesn't do it as often as he used to, but he will still pose sometimes like this. He really loves you. We all miss you so much. I know I am supposed to think of happy memories with you, but all those happy memories are also tied into the memories that I have now wi
