| HOPE: "...I just know that...I woke up during the middle of the night. And time passed and there was strange shadows. I began having troubling thoughts about my life. There was something about it not real...Full of deceptions but these...these deceptions had become so many and so much a part of me now that I couldn't even tell who I was really...really was, and suddenly I began to perspire. I sat up in bed with my heart just pounding, and I looked at my husband next to me and it was as if he was a stranger and I turned the light and woke him up and I asked him to hold me...(sobs) and only after a long time did I finally get my bearings..." |
