Hi Sue,<\/p>\n

My name is Tracy<\/a>. \u00a0I know your situation<\/a> all to well.<\/p>\n

My home sits empty in Clear Creek<\/a>, Ontario<\/a>. \u00a0My life of hell started in the fall of 2008.<\/p>\n

Yesterday was a very bad day for us. \u00a0Spirits are very low. \u00a0My son and I had a discussion just last night. \u00a0We talked about people and money; people not caring about others; the humiliation we have felt; the fight that is ahead of us; the scars that will be with us for the rest of our lives. \u00a0Like yourself, my government and the wind companies have destroyed my life. \u00a0They almost killed me. \u00a0I am not out of the woods yet.<\/p>\n

I went to my home today\u2014my home where I cannot live. \u00a0I still have some of my things there, where I had left them. \u00a0I walked the property, looking at the trees I had planted over the years; looking back at a life that no longer exists, or ever will. \u00a0It was very sad. \u00a0I drove around the township, again surprised at yet another new real estate listing and even more vacated houses.<\/p>\n

Approximately one in three houses are empty<\/a>. \u00a0Two of the vacant homes were homes of young families with children. \u00a0I was glad they were able to leave. \u00a0Others have left; a few have passed on<\/a> (died<\/a>). \u00a0I consider myself fortunate that my son had the sense to get us out of there. \u00a0Today I tolerated half an hour of exposure to low frequencies. \u00a0When I left, I had started to become lethargic. \u00a0I was dizzy, nauseous. \u00a0My head hurt. \u00a0I felt such pressure.<\/p>\n

Each day is tough. \u00a0Last night we also talked about others who had it worse than us; kids who are sick and hungry. When the going gets tough, I remind myself I am warm, I have a place to lay my head and enough food. \u00a0I take it one day at a time. \u00a0I walk, lots. \u00a0I meditate. \u00a0It helps.<\/p>\n

I attended a meeting with our department of health on Thursday night. \u00a0As yourself, my son cannot bring himself to attend any more of these “gong shows.” \u00a0I went to support Stephana Johnston<\/a> and others presenting deputations. \u00a0I returned to the place I stay, very upset and angry because of the ignorance displayed by some of the health officials.<\/p>\n

A neighbor from home told me last night, I must not give up. \u00a0If you give up they win. \u00a0Ironically, these are the same words I said to my son just a short time earlier. \u00a0I also told him, as others have told you: \u00a0he needs to take a time out. \u00a0Rest and recharge. \u00a0I know, easier said than done<\/p>\n

Have faith and comfort knowing there are many who are going to bat for people like us. \u00a0Hang in there. \u00a0Life may not be the same, but it will get better.<\/p>\n

Take care,<\/p>\n
