Uncle Kracker Blog

Ok so I debated alittle while about entering this conest because I usually dont share my story with people but I want to win this soooo badly u have no idea..I truly belive with ALL my heart that I'm the BIGGEST Uncle Kracker fan ever but even if I dont win its ok maybe my story will inspire someone who knows....I was married very young to a very abusive man..but while married I had 3 beautiful children, so after a few short yrs he left.. I was alone raising 3 kids alone! After struggling for awhile I made a life altering decision, I wanted more for my kids then what I could provide so I gave them up 4 adopition..it was the hardest thing Ive ever done!! this was 4 yrs ago..but after I did this, I felt sooo alone even though Ihad family I still felt empty so I turned to drugs...I was an addicts for the last 4 years untill the day came where I almost killed myself pretty much, went on a bindge where I didnt eat,sleep nothing for 6 days straight...my family put me in a hospital...that was Feb 1st almost 2 yrs ago! I have been clean and sober sense that day..I relized that not only was I killing myself but the people around me...so long story short the reason why its good to be me is because I get to wake up everyday and just breath..I know that my children are doing wonderful they are 14, 13 and 10 now at the time they were 8,7 and 4 and they are all good students, they want for nothing, go on vacations..they just have all the things I know I wasnt able to provide so I know I did a good thing...But I wake up a know its good to be me cause I have a great family who cared enough to not let me kill myself and knew I did a good thing I just need alittle help seeing it thats all!!! Thats why I listen to ur music all the time, your songs truly have gotten me throught some very bad times, I am truly am No Stranger To Shame, but thats ok, cause Ive learned from it all...so thank you so much for being a huge part of my life!!!

I wrote in your comment section for "Smile" because the song and video so perfectly described my husband who was hit and run by a drunk driver. After over a month in the ICU fighting to save his life,.. he died, I haven't felt so "Good To Be Me" until just recently when I realized just how lucky I am to have twoincredibly strong and loving daughter that always bring me up and make me smile! Thanks to the incredibly happy man their father was. Also, the wonderful people I met that helped me at the hospital, everyone at my job that worked for me while I was gone and look after me now, my friends and neighbors that have been so kind, and my family that have been there for whatever my dauhgters and I need. But most of all, I feel "Good To Be Me" to be the one that was there for my husband when he need me to take care of him the most, not to mention the wonderful, happy years of fun and laughter I was able to have with such I unique and loving person as he was, With All the tradegy aside, I am very fortunate to understand why it is.."Good To BE ME". Thank you for your beautiful music.
