I wish for prayer,I feel lost and mixed up with different things. I am alone. Cared for my parents till they died like 7 years now. Only older sibling across country. Brother in law treated me bad out there after going there with dad a month before his death. Wanted me out of his house. Sister barely a hug after his death. Nephew is fake. Niece never calls in 39’s. I swallow all of this alone. I can say much more. My health got bad, needed a pacemaker. Sister came for op. My home needs work. Miss my parents Paperwork constantly to do. Barely get things done. Want to make crafts but don’’t as cleaning to do and other things. Dr appts sometimes. Need eye surgery cataracts for both eyes. And cornea smoothing on left eye. Vision without my only lens good for me, is quite bad seeing near. I worry of these op and wish my eyes will get better if I do the surgeries. Wait for calls from the only sibling. and days u can wait two days or more. Busy with things there. Wish for my eyes to improve and for blessings for me. I have so many things to do, or fixed here. I need direction to help me do what is needed step by step. No need help focusing.

I pray my job puts me back on the schedule. They only have me working seven days for the rest of the month. I do not know what to do? I have heart issues and I do not know how they can do this to me? I pray for a miracle, that they give me a second chance. I do not know what other jobs will hire me. I have issues and a lot of places I cannot handle working at. I am shy, I was doing very well at this job. I pray St Joseph that this job is not taken from me. I pray If I find a new job, that it is not with hateful people.
