Janeen Hanselman

Most of you don’t know me.

Even those that have been around for years.

You only know bits and pieces of my struggles, heartaches, and obstacles. And that’s only because you happened to be there, when in that moment, I was going through them. That doesn’t mean you are less important than those that do know. It just means that I am only as good as what I show you. I don’t let most people know what I am going through, including those closest to me. Why you ask..?

Because I am a strong, proud woman that doesn’t like to ask for help – in any way. I hate the looks of pity I may get – because I am NOT fragile. I AM capable. And I will do whatever it takes to make everyone around me believe I don’t NEED anything or anyone. But, I’ve lied. I’ve lied to all of you. Not in the traditional sense. But I withhold the truth when you ask “Are you ok?”, or “Is there anything that I can do?”.

Now I don’t have a choice. Now I HAVE to ask. I need ALL of your help. I need to guarantee that I am here for the long haul for my boys. I NEED to see them in their sports. I NEED to see them get their driver’s licenses. I NEED to see them have girlfriends, graduate, see the men they grow up to be. I NEED to see their weddings, who they become, what kind of Dads they are when their children are born. So, now I will ask. I AM asking. I am begging you to help make that happen. Please…?
