Do you really want to know this Beano?
Long scary story and it is all cleared up with the detectives, etc.
Cold, oerh very cold case, I was 11/12.
My father came back a bit, no very crazy and violent from Vietnam.
Long story short, I killed someone in order to save many other lives.
Deadset Truth and until a few yr ago I never told a sole, not even my exhusband.
True Story, but I wish it wasn't.

If I said that the series sucks I would be complimenting it. It has no plot, it is as straightforward and predictable as a ruler and/or white paint, it is badly written and all the characters sound alike. The emotion descriptions are incredibly terrible, as though the writer was trying to describe it in a language she'd been at only for three days. The whole world in that place exists to make bella and edward's love look pure and what not and all of the characters couldn't exist without said two, aka: shallow and unbelievable characters. Here;s a shorter version of this: The dialogs are like cardboard cut outs stuck onto the paper with spit, and the characters are like rice paper cut outs held up by the names bell and edward who happen to play the roles of a ruler and stupid sex slave, bella being the sex slave. I am fifteen, English is my second language and I've been writing for three years. I write better than stephanie meyer. The so called author threw in a plot at the end, remembering that she's gonna need one. The books are basically about the "author's" sexual fantasies about undeads. It's a disgrace and shouldn't even be called art. It's a book directed at all audiences that have trouble understanding anything above or equal to Harry Potter. And, sadly, that audience turned out to be larger than the whole world.

I have given money to help others, but I have never gone hungry from my giving, so I will not count that as sacrifice. I take care of my elderly mother and an eight year old granddaughter that I have custody of, but I can honestly say they bring me joy, and I feel blessed. Years ago, I basically sat on a friend for three weeks to help her through drug withdrawal. I explained to my family the best I could that my friend was going to die without help. There was no long term facility that would take her, and she gave me a run for the money. She gave me the slip a few times, and I ran her down. Again, I feel the sacrifice was minimal, because she is alive and clean and still my friend. Beano, help me here! My sister had cancer twenty one years ago, and I worked a full time job and a part time to take care of my three children and her two. Again, I was the one blessed. I came to know the Lord during that time.

It was not a sacrifice, I was obeying a commandment of God our Father as told by Jesus.
One night while walking home after work 2 guys attempted to mug me. They said, "give me your money" all I had was three dollars, and they got mad because it was all the money I had.
I thought about Jesus at the time, and it came to me, Worry not about your life, but give to all that ask. I said, I have $35.00 in the bank, I'd be willing to write you a check for $29.00 cause $6.00 belongs to Safeway. I pulled out my check book and said I'll leave the name blank".
Are you crazy, they asked, and I said no, God told me to give to all who ask, and the way I see it you asked me for my money, to keep you from stealing, I would rather give all I have to you cause, it seems you need it more than I do.
They said this, guys is crazy, threw the $3.00 at me and ran off. But you know something I was serious, I meant what I had told them. I was sorry I didn't have more to give.

18 months of my life and my fiancee dumped me for it, but the friends I made and the skills I learned have made it more than worth the sacrifices made. And the person I helped will remain one of my most precious friends.

Traveling with a Christian Drama Company for 81/2 years leaving my family behind so I could minister to those who needed ministry.

Does sacrificing puppies count? Or do you mean a personal sacrifice?

Forefeiting the most profound love i had experienced to that point in time in order to make a jealous and emotionally unstable parent happy.
And paying for it for the rest of my life.

I skipped my final exams in grad school so I could help deprogram my sister who had fallen under the spell of a destructive Christian cult. I lost the credits, my scholarship and had to repeat the semester at full price, but it was completely worth it to see her finally able to think for herself again.

Blood transfusion to one of my family members...that's one of the biggest that I can think of. Another is getting my chest slashed when my girlfriend tried to kill herself (she had a major breakdown for various reasons) She had the knife and I pulled it away from her, she tried stabbing herself but I got in the way...hurt like Hell but...things I do for love, right? ^_^
