When I packed my two young sons,ages 10 months and 21 months, and myself into my little dodge 50 truck and drove three states away to leave abusive boyfriend and drug addiction.
I had tried 3 times prior, but I finally made it, the boys are 6 and 7 years old.

My husband was diagnosed with rectal cancer back in May 2005. From September to December 2005 he had 3 different surgeries and 3 different hospital stays. I think that was the strongest I've ever had to be in my life.
Thanks be to God, all is now well, he is still "cancer free". But that strength has stayed with me.

When my boyfriend's little sister was killed in a car accident. It was really hard to fight my feelings to be there for him. I had to comfort him as much as possible, when most of the time I just wanted to cry with him. But I stayed strong for him and his family and I'm glad I did, because my boyfriend and I now have a bond that many couples never get the chance to have. We love one another uncondittionaly... There were so many times that my boyfriend would say hurtful things to me as a way of expressing his feelings of his loss, at one point he told me that he didn't want to be with me because he could never have a happy life without his sister and I was just waisting my time sticking around. But we are both glad that I stuck it out! We are now happy, in love, we trust eachother completely, and we know that we always have someone that will be there no matter what life may throw at us!

When my nephew was born. And again, when the second one was born.
And I'm the youngest girl in my family, even my younger brother by a year treats me like the youngest in the family. So when I had to step up and act like the oldest, it was hard, I'm the emotional type, so I had to keep from breaking down a little bit.
I'm so glad that time is over. I can go back to being the youngest again =)

when me and my husband were still dating, his gunny (he is a former marine) ordered him not to see me anymore. he was an embassy security guard, a very prestigious job within the marines. and very demanding. he told me over the phone and then said it wouldn't be fair to me if we'd stay together on the hopes his gunny changes his mind. he is the love of my life and i'd never give him up. for two month i did not know what was going to happen. i know he takes responsibility very serious, it's one of the reasons i love him so much. but i also knew in my heart that i was important to him, and if there was a way for him to change his gunnys mind, he'd find it. he did. after his return to the USA i stayed in germany (i am german) for a year, visiting as often as i could. then we got married. we are married now for 5 years and have a wonderful son (1 year old). and with all the trials we allready survived i know we'll get old together.

When I had my head cracked open from a accident. I had to rely on my family and friends.....One does not realize how strong of a person this takes to put your life into the hands of others. Scary as hell ...... Of course I got ripped off and taken advantage of by someone but .....just make sure no more serious accidents lol!

There have been many times in my life that i have had to be strong, not for me, but for my daughter. One time was when I was pregnant, working 2 jobs while the father was at home with his brother, not working and playing video games. then, when i kicked him out and had to pay all bills and do Christmas alone for my family and daughter. And then i was strong when I bought my first home, paid all the bills, worked full-time, went to school at night full time and was a full time mommy with a 2 yr. old!!!

When my husband's sister had a breech birth and the baby was too weak to live and I picked him up through the incubator so that they could baptise him before he passed away. He was like a little broken doll. I dont know how I managed not to die right there too.

Strong as in physical or as in emotional? I was the strongest emotionally when my son got arrested. Strongest physically when I was almost raped - it didn't happen!!!

My THIRD day of labor with my son. Even the midwives wanted me to use drugs to rest at that point, but I wanted an unmedicated birth. I pressed on even though I had been in truly great pain for about 20 hours. I made it and he is healthy.
