Random thoughts

While I have tried to be optimistic about 2009. It hasnt reflected onto the lives of family/friends. In January my sons aunt was killed by a neighbor. This neighbor had been a troubled gang related teenager. Donna was ran over by this neighbors car. She was alive for 15 mins before passing away in her husbands arms.

While I know that everyday we lose good percentage of kids from cancer, it is really upsetting when they are kids you are praying for. In January/February of this year. I lost 4 special little friends from cancer . Tuesday Fiona, Ellie Willaert, Jessica Rose and Cora. I wish people would take the time to read of these kids stories like I do. If people did, they would realize the seriousness of this disease.

Well the next 2 months are going to be emotional. My baby sister is getting married in April. All 3 of my daughters, my son and I are in the wedding. Its going to be a special day.

May 28, my oldest (and my baby) is going to basic training in Missouri. This will be her first step out into the real world. It is going to be very difficult not having her here with her sisters, brother and me. I however am extremely proud of her for taking the iniative into starting her life.

I guess that is it for now.

I am really sorry things have been so hard. That's just so sad and horrible. Getting cancer was the wake up call for me. I realize people don't read the stories because it's better for them to avoid the reality then to face the truth. I know for me it's very hard to deal with kids who have cancer, because it's such a horrible horrible disease. Hope the wedding is wonderful and you get some much needed happiness.

July/August

Cant believe that summer is almost over. With the end of summer approaching, my oldest daughter has officially completed basic training (Army)! I am flying to Missouri August 11 to watch her graduate, I cant believe she is already done with her basic training. My middle daughter got the privledge of going to San Francisco, for a week to follow a medical doctor around in a hospital. She wants to be a pediatrician when she graduates from high school. This year being her senior year of high school. As for me, I am desparately trying to find a duplex that takes section 8 so that I can get out of this hellish neighborhood my kids and I live in.

My daughter graduated from basic training!

Last week I flew to Fort Leonardwood, Missouri to watch my oldest daughter graduate from basic training. There are no words to describe how I felt when my daughter marched in through the doors of the stadium wearing her fatigues and standing tall. I listened to her yell with her squad the soldiers creed. As I sat there looking at her, many thoughts crossed my mind. Over and over again I thought to myself how blessed I am to have such a beautiful daughter both inside/outside. If it wasnt for her, my ex husband, his wife or me wouldnt have been able to see her graduate. So many things I have missed in my daughters 18 yrs of life. Due to a drug addiction that I had, I missed 5 years of my daughters lives. When I cleaned up and came back around, all 3 of my daughters let me back in their lives and over time forgave me. And while I can never make up for lost time, I was able to be there for something so important as what my daughter had decided to do with her life. I sat there next to my ex...
