Here I sat thinking about what could been if my speech was never understood able again because my aunt was not after last stoke. I have decided that I would not give up on life but I knew it would be easy I knew what my aunt may had to go through to live.
Killing myself went on in my mind before but I did give it a second thought this time is all but I wanted to live it would not matter it took. God was in my heart bigger than ever before I knew the truth and it was Love that freed me from this world?

One of my dear friends had a stroke several years ago. Though she could still write, her speech was severely affected. Eventually, the frustration was too much, and she took her own life. :(
A friend gave me a translated of what wrote I hope it helps

I've been thinking about what might have happened if people were no longer able to understand me. This was what happened to my aunt after her last stroke.
I decided that I would never give up on life, although I knew things wouldn't be easy for me, having observed what my aunt experienced.
Suicide crossed my mind, but I rejected that thought because I wanted to live no matter what. God was in my heart more than ever and it was love that had freed me from this world.
I realise that my atheistic friends may not always want to read all that I write, but I at least hope they will understand just how broad my view of the world really is.
I tend to lean towards the gnostic writings more than I do the pages of the bible because they reveal things to me which go beyond normal logic. I realise that not everybody is drawn to these books however, nor ascribes merit to them.
I still use my P.C to reference the Christian sciptures because there's a facility for P.C I'm comfortable with, and this isn't operable on my Mac.
Although I don't labour my biblical searches, I do still like to contrast gnostic writings with the bible, which is still a basic theological resource for any Christian. I know I will never prove anything to atheists, but for me...there's no need to, and I accept that they will likely remain unpersuaded anyway.
Some people might think that I wish to convert atheists to my beliefs but I personally see no point in this, because if somebody doesn't want something, then I won't push it. I am not a sales person, I share what I believe freely, with all who want it, and atheists just don't want it.
A lot of Christians try and apply pressure to atheists because they believe that 'god' wants them to fight his battles for him but nothing could be further from the truth. God wants Christians to address their own problems and leave atheists to their own devices.
I write these words partly to Christians and partly to atheists, but it's time for me to rest now so I'll continue my address to the atheists [in particular].... later on.

O.K....I'm back now to finish this address to atheists and believers.
Whether we believe in 'god' or a god of stone, it doesn't really matter because we are all waiting for 'something' whether it's to blow ourselves up, or whether it's for the return of Christ.
Time will move forward and things will either get better or they will not. We have nuclear weapons and we may be the ones who use these, or....we may be the ones who have them used against us. Ultimately...nobody really knows what the impact of this would eventually bring either way.
The end may be near, or it may be many years away....but there's always an end to things in life and the strong eventually win or they die in the attempt. Believing in god doesn't make you any better than atheist, and not believing in god doesn't make you any better than a believer.
We are all on this earth together and we need to start realising this. I can never understand why fighting and war seems to go on and on. Sure, there are many atheists who do not believe in god, but do you [Christians] not remember that the bible says:
"...let them live together..."
Or have you forgotten the thing that Christ taught you?
Atheists mean you no harm, they just want to live in peace and you [Christians] should let them because they are not hurting anybody.
I will end this now, because I've written all I wanted to write.
