He was 20. Edwards had stopped breathing Monday night. Faye Stanton, Edwards' mother, and a neighbor performed CPR on Edwards before paramedics arrived at their Northeast Side home that night.

Not A Daddys girl but thats a good thing in a way

Many of you know that my entire 25 yrs on this planet me and father never have gotten along and honestly I wish I could explain why but there elements to it I dont understand why and for years this tugged at my heart and killed me and there alot of things that made me cry about it but through time and being mad at God, myslef and of course the "father" well one of the biggest things that always made me cry were certain songs such as love without an End,Amen, by George Strait, Butterfly Kisses ( not sure on the artist) and Stealing Cinderella by Chuck not sure on last name and some others, well this week they all came on the air on CMT and for the FIRST TIME ever in my LIFE I NEVER CRIED OR GOT TEARY EYED this is huge for me because this means im FINALLY at peace with it and although I still have a long way to go and im really excited about this and I was telling my mom I have to know in my heart I dont need him or want him in my life and many I know have great relationships with your dads and im so happy for you but for me to be at peace with me and the situation with my Father is a huge burnden off my shoulders yay for me I know I will always have part of my heart broken because of it but know that having just the peace is so nice because for me this means im getting stronger this have been a battle i have been fighting since i came home from the hospital and now I dont have to fight and in way im the winner because im not worried about him or any thing and I wish all the best to him and his wife, I have many friends who have and who will stand beside me and are there for me and if I had to choose between them and him i choose them and another thing that I have peace about I no longer will feel bad about living up to his standards or being good enough for him these are very big steps for me and if he were to contact im not sure I would take his call honestly I probably wouldnt cause now im working on forgiving for present crap and I thank my friends for helping me with this struggle it has been a long fought battle but in my heart and soul its done with and thats such a blessing.

When you catch a girl glancing at you, she wants you to look back and smile When a girl bumps into your arm while walking with you she wants you to hold her hand When she wants a hug she will just stand there When u break a girls heart she still feels it when you run into each other 3 years later When a girl is quiet, millions of things are running through her mind When a girl is not arguing, she is thinking deeply When a girl looks at you with eyes full of questions, she is wondering how long you will be around When a girl answers, "I'm fine," after a few seconds, she is not at all fine When a girl stares at you, she is wondering why you are playing games!!!!!!!!!!! When a girl lays her head on your chest, she is wishing for you to be hers forever When a girl says she can't live without you, she has made up her mind that you are her future When a girl says, "I miss you," no one in this world can miss you more than that When a girl is mean to you after a break-up she wants you back, but shes scared she'll get hurt and knows you're gone forever Guy Facts: When a guy calls you, he wants to be with you When a guy is quiet, He's listening to you... When a guy is not arguing, He realizes he's wrong When a guy says, "I'm fine." after a few minutes he means it When a guy stares at you, he wishes you would care about him and wonders if you do When your laying your head on a guy's chest, he has the world When a guy calls/texts/comments you everyday, he is in love When a (good) guy tells you he loves you, he means it When a guy says he can't live without you, he's with you til your done When a guy says, "I miss you,". he misses you more than you could have ever missed him or anything else in reading this when a girl/guy misses you i found it rather interesting at least on the girls part for me how true it is accept mine has a twist or two when i tell a friend guy or girl i miss i really do miss especally if i havent seen them in a really long time or i tell them i love them ( as a friend) i mean it but i have also looked in my friends eyes and woundernd how long they were going to remain my friend mainly because in past any time people have found out that Dyslexic or Disgraphic they tend to stop being my friend or they find out my dad and i dont get a long i lose friends i have lost friends over very stupid stuff ill admit first hand and so my very close friends who i have over a mere matter of time seem to think im "nice" or "amazing" their words not mine now honestly i dont know if i am and i dont really care if i am or not im just very greatful for my best friends for what ever reasons i cant figure and have given up on trying to figure out and im trying to just accept which is very hard for me because in past most friends have had some kind of attachemnt on it but for the first time in life im learning that people might like me for me which i know sounds stupid but when people will stop being your friend because you have a disability or because you speak your mind or because of something in your past than im not sure they are real friends and I am just greatful that i have some amazing friends and you know who you are :) and I thank you for that
