I am laying here listening and watching the Documentary of ”Marrying The Game” on this Sunday morning. So much “PAIN” in this documentary that created my vision.

Inspiration: I felt to write this painful truth, because now my “PAIN” is my “GAIN” Anniversary birth  8|12|13,

The “PAIN” The “RAIN”  “THE “HURRCAIN”

Dear God, I feel your “GAIN,” MY “PAIN” 
You gave me your “AIM”
Where do I go with my “AIM” after
The “HURRCAIN.”

I must clean up this “HURRCAIN”  “PAIN.”
No money to clean up
this “HURRCAIN”  “PAIN.”

“ABANDONED BY MY LOVED ONES”
(Their depression, the children’s “PAIN” )
It gave sadness weathering this “HURRCAIN”.

The “PAIN”     The “RAIN”   “THE “HURRCAIN”

ANNIVERSARY DATES: 

12/27/1963
My First “PAIN,” The death of my mother
(I was only 13 years old, so much “PAIN”)
That “PAIN” had an “AIM.”
Your Spirit is here with me now,
supporting my “AIM,”
“Love  you dearly.”

The “PAIN,” The “RAIN,” The “HURRCAIN”
3/15/1979
The death of my husband’s “PAIN.”  Your Spirit is also here supporting my “AIM,”
 “Love you dearly.”
The “PAIN,” The “RAIN,” The “HURRCAIN”
10/30/1989
My daughter LaRussia at the age of 15, received her “PAIN” – NO  JUSTICE. 
Her “PAIN” eventually had an “AIM.”
(The births of her 7 children, who received so much “PAIN” when they were placed in The Department Of Children And Family System).

The “PAIN,” The “RAIN,” The “HURRCAIN”
10/30/12
My brother Marshall’s death gave me so much “PAIN,”  Antipsychotic Drugs Blew up his “BRAIN,”
I will always love you my brother, thirty one years  I witnessed and advocated,  regarding your “PAIN.” Mental  Illness developed from the high doses of  Antipsychotic Drugs?

The “PAIN,” The “RAIN,” The “HURRCAIN”

Remembering the last breath you took at Massachusetts General Hospital  (A stormy morning, Sandy the “HURRCAIN” was present) Father God and I were your last visit.  I sat beside your bed and listen to your breathing, The “PAIN” I felt was unbearable, before  God called you home.  I will always love you my brother. 

I now have an “AIM” to “GAIN” knowledge, continued advocating and bring awareness to mental illness.  Your “Spirit” lives on. You had so much “PAIN,” 31 years I witnessed “PAIN.”

The “PAIN,”         The “RAIN, ”        ”The “HURRCAIN”

The “HURRCAIN” must now be cleaned up.  The Demon of the Drugs, Alcohol and Antipsychotic Drugs.
My Miracle;  The “PAIN,”  The “RAIN,”  THE “HURRCAIN” is now my “AIM”/”GAIN” .     

Where do I go, who can now help me to clean up this “HURRCAIN” after the “PAIN”   

Father God you are the one who guided me through. Awareness about mental illness is on my agenda. The early onset, children’s problems, must be addressed. Depression and trauma invite mental illness if left untreated.  The “PAIN” The “RAIN” The “HURRCAIN”  can be cleaned up.

Let us all take a stand to treat the children’s “PAIN.”  My brother Marshall’s “PAIN” gave me a vision to educate our society about mental illness In children. Stand UP   for their “RIGHTS” to make their lives “BRIGHT.” Excited that my “PAIN is now my “GAIN”

From “PAIN to “Gain”

God’s Will, 2013 all of my “PAIN will be fulfilled

Stand up for your rights”

The “PAIN”       The “RAIN”     “THE “HURRCAIN”

5/24/13  “Grievance Hearing”           
 My “AIM”/My”GAIN” 

My Granddaughter Romea’ (3 years old)  

They said  “NO” you are not a “PARTY” to the “CASE.”
However, God gave me a vision “AIM & GAIN” from this “NO!”

“CREATE A FORUM”  (Grandparents Raising Grandchildren) this became my mission.
After this informational gathering my “PAIN” started to slow down. (7/05/01 – 5/24/13).

Governor Deval Patrick gave me my “CITATION,” my “RECOGNITION”  my “PAIN” is now on a healing journey, more visions for the visionary.

The “PAIN”       The “RAIN”     “THE “HURRCAIN”

 “Still I Rise”

Still I Rise to deal with the “PAIN” the “RAIN” the “HURRCAIN”

Another “AIM”/GAIN” by having this celebration

Romea’ ( My Granddaughter) your “PAIN” “RAIN” “HURRCAIN. Hopefully, will gain respect, Grandparents who deserve it?
Must be a “PARTY TO THE CASE.”­­

The “PAIN”       The “RAIN”     “THE “HURRCAIN”

“LEGISLATION”  In the making from my “PAIN”

Grandparents’ “GAIN” fro m The “PAIN” 

Grandparents Raising Grandchildren is no “GAME”   There is so much “PAIN” “RAIN”  “HURRCAIN” during this painful Journey.  Just ask the children what they “GAIN” from their “PAIN,  only more “PAIN” during the “HURRCAIN.” 
Additional “PAIN” and suffering during their stay in the Department Of Children And Family System.
“Raising Awareness” to wrongdoing/doers was my mission with a vision.

“Farewell Commissioner, Angelo McClain, you did a great job under your watch to bring improvement to this system (Massachusetts Department of Children and Families).
Thank you for your support with my
“PAIN”     “RAIN”      “HURRCAIN.”

“INTO THE FUTURE”

HEALING CLOSURE:  Massachusetts/ National Agenda

Improved legislation for “GRANDPARENTS RAISING GRANDCHILDREN”

Improved “JUSTICE”

The “PAIN”  When I hear This statement :
 “YOU ARE NOT A PARTY TO THE CASE”? 

Thirteen years of “PAIN”  God is now giving me visions from all of my missions

Solutions  for all of this “PAIN.

The “PAIN”       The “RAIN”     “THE “HURRCAIN”

No more unnecessary “PAIN” (call on The President, Governors, Stakeholders, News Media, Policy Makers, Celebrities, Grandparents Raising Grandchildren, Justice System, National Alliance on Mental Illness, National Legal Aid and Defender Association and whoever have an interest to create “CHANGE.”

This ain't no game, I am in “PAIN.”
A grandmother Raising Grandchildren for 13 long years.  My “PAIN” MY “PAIN” MY “PAIN” MY “PAIN”  Thank you God for your mission because now from all of my “PAIN” I have a very clear vision.

A makeover would be helpful to heal this “PAIN” so that I can continue to create a plan for this “PAIN” we all “GAIN”

MY “AIM”            MY “GAIN”            MY “PAIN”

We can’t ignored the “PAIN” the screaming of a child/children

The “PAIN”       The “RAIN”     “THE “HURRCAIN”

Mental illness is now invading their life from all the “PAIN” they received for thirteen years.

Depression and trauma was not properly treated only the drama (explosive behavior) from their “PAIN” and suffering. Mental illness, Mental illness, Mental illness, Mental illness, do you feel it? it is real.

The “PAIN”       The “RAIN”     “THE “HURRCAIN”
