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.

Prayers for Ellie

Whenever I feel down and out, or feel that life isnt fair. I go to caringbridge.org and read updates on on the children that I am following and praying for. Immediately I realize that I have alot to be thankful for. At the top of my list of things I am thankful for are my kids health and my health. How many of us take our health for granted? How many of us "whine" about petty ailments. Imagine everyday being in excruiciating pain, nausea/throwing up, no energy to get up, and that is just a few of the hundreds of symptoms, problems that children with cancer deal with 24 hours day/ 7 days a week.  My heart goes out to Ellie who is 8 years old. Ellie has Rhabdomyosarcoma. She has been fighting this horrible monster since July 2, 2008. Having to endure the most harshest chemo that makes her horribly sick. And even with the nasty chemo and all that Ellie has had to deal with due to the chemo, her cancer hasnt gone away like it is suppose to. Instead it has come back twice with a...

Home from Korea

After a year being stationed in Korea, my oldest daughter came home to visit. I got to have her at home for a week. My baby is definately all grown up. Im so proud of the woman she has become. I treasured every moment that she was here. Her brother Andrew was estatic to see her. She left to go visit with her dad and my 2 other daughters for a week and then was going to Texas where she is stationed for the next few months. I will be blessed to see her along with my other 2 girls in July for my brothers wedding for 3 days. Then after that Brittany will finish her remainder time in Afghanistan. I love you Brittany and already miss you so much.

My baby comes home from Korea!

My oldest daughter who is in the Army has been stationed in korea for the past year. Her tour in Korea is ending in 2 weeks and she is coming home to visit before her next tour of duty. Gosh, cant wait to see her. I know that while she will be the same Brittany I know she will be also different as she has grown up while being gone. Being struggling really bad lately with depression and lonliness. I hope that someday I will be able to wake up and enjoy getting up. I am blessed to have 4 healthy beautiful children and am so blessed and thankful.
