  • One year

    Thursday, August 21, 2008 | A Painful story

    This entry is just to memoralize my one year mark. I survived and I am not sure how I did it but all of a sudden it is here. I kept so busy & went to work for someone else since we had our own  business and it has been so difficult. One year and I am just now getting to the place where I know this is real, this is forever until I go meet our Lord & see my friend again. It is almost u...

    Kenny, I miss you so so much.  It's so hard to believe that you aren't ever
    coming home to me. I am having such a hard time dealing with you leaving me.
    I know you didn't want to leave. We put up quite a fight to keep you here for
    us. I thank God everyday that I was given the opportunity to be able to
    know what real love is with you.Not everyone knows what a wonderful feeling
    it is to love a...

    Yesterday, I wasn't feeling too good. I was hoping
    that I had a sinus infection. Unfortunately looks like
    I have a cold. Because I have emphysema this is
    really critical for me. If anyone does read this
    journal, please please pray for me that I will
    be able to get well fast. So, I probably won't
    be able to write to any of you for a bit.
    Thanks so much for the really good support.
    I think I have l...

    On April 5th, 2013 my husband and I took off on a trip for Orlando, FL.  We were to meet some friends and look at a condominium on Daytona, Beach.  That night we had a couple bloody Mary's that our Friend Nicole is famous for.  The next day we agreed to all meet at the pool for a cook out.  My husband went up to the room and was gone for an unusual amount of time.  I call...

    Tuesday, April 23, 2013 | A Painful story

    I visited my beautiful daughter in the hospital today, she is in the final throes of acute alcoholism.   She has a bacterial infection so one must suit up to visit her.   She still carries on a pretty good conversation, but her mind wanders.   I doubt she will ever leave where she is, possibly to a nursing home,   
    I had 2 brothers, no sisters, so I was thrilled when I ha...

    Wednesday, April 24, 2013 | A Painful story

    EMS came and took him to P.

    Tonight I struggle to go through 30 years worth of things in our kitchen.  I am doing the remodel of the kitchen we had planned, but it is killing me.  The memories are so strong with everything I touch.  I am angry that I am doing this alone now.  This is a huge undertaking and it will be beautiful, but you will not be here.  I am so sad and nothing seems to help.  ...
