I am not one to talk openly about what happened to my family and I, some continue to hold this against me. But in short, we got very sick
mostly due to a gas leak that caused furnace problems, in turn causing carbon monoxide poisoning. We lost our home, all our belongings
and physical custody of Jim's son. We went through something that you could never imagine and it will be a while before we ever feel
"normal" again. It has now been a year and we still are not completely better - physically, mentally and spiritually. And we have yet to find
a safe home that we can permanently live in without having reactions to small amounts of chemicals that we as Americans have been told
we need for day to day survival. I am very sorry with what happened in any effect to my business. Yes, I have indeed worried more about
myself and my family at times more than my customers, but is that wrong and what would you do? I get emotional talking about it and in
my opinion I feel it is a more unprofessional decision to create more drama by expressing my personal life and involving approx. 100 total
customers into it. Not to mention retelling my story over 100 times in a phone call. So I decided to separate the two, personal kept
personal and business kept business.
The illness we have is slowly getting better but its not something that is easy for even doctors to understand or treat. So explaining this
in detail to the lay person would leave them with even more questions so we have chosen to keep it to ourselves.
When we first got sick it was impossible for me to cover weddings and I made choices to get alternative coverage for the weddings where
I was the sickest. Most customers understood and were ok about this. I never failed to get coverage for any wedding.
A few took my understandable vagueness about my illness the wrong way and seem to feel it was a good time to attack me for what they
thought was me making up an illness to not personally cover there wedding. This is disgustingly untrue and caused me a great deal of
personal stress at a time especially when this was the last thing me and my family needed.
With this in mind I will not stand for harassment and threats said to me or my family relating to my business. I have had one bride and
groom state on their facebook page "Let's beat her up... Seriously, I know where she lives... I can give you her address." (all because I was
late on her getting her photos)
I do not care if this was said in anger or joke, it's not something I will take lightly. I respect your privacy, please respect mine.
