My Retraction to Previous Writings

While I was working on my computer the other day I saw three uniformed officers approaching my front door. My first thought was that something had happened to my daughter. I was working, so I hurried up the call I was on so that I could see what was wrong. I was asked if I was Deborah by the Palm Bay police officer and recognized the two Brevard county sheriffs. I was afraid they had bad news for me.

But, they were there to confront me about some of the past writings I had submitted and was worried that I had, or was planning on, causing myself harm. I had actually forgotten what I had written, and published, a few months back but the officers were quick to remind me. I admit that what I wrote was life threatening but, in fact, the stories were just words. Writing my thoughts has always been a way for me to release my feelings but I did not relaize that someone would react to the words I used.

I was in a bad state of mind at that time and did feel like my world was crumbling down around me. But, having faith in the Lord has turned things around and life is getting better for me and my family. I want all of my readers to know that I sincerely apologize for using poor judgement in the words I published. The officers asked me to remove these articles from the AC site but I am not allowed to, so, I decided to write this retraction.

Any bad feelings I had at that time have diminished. I am now working, I have a new son-in-law and a grandbaby on the way. Things are still tough monetarily but I, and my family, are dealing with the hardship with our chins up and our minds open. I decided to look toward the future instead of crumble from the past and I now know that I am still a strong woman with hopes and dreams.

I am still attending college, I had one of my photos published on a calendar, and I am a cast member of a comedy dinner show. So, you see, I am trying to keep myself involved and busy. I refuse to give up!

I hope that all of you will accept this retraction as an apology for causing any of you to worry. I also want to thank all of you for caring about my well-being. I give my promise that I have no intentions of hurting myself.

Happy Holidays!
