Moms

Hey blog family! Sorry I haven’t posted lately. I’ve been a little under the weather and very stressed out. I’m stressed because in the next month I will be moving back into my mothers’ house to help take care of her. This is something I really don’t want to do, but I’ve always been a sucka’ for my mom. No, not because she’s been such a wonderful mother. That couldn’t be further from the truth. It’s just because… well she’s the only mom I got.


Peace

hey lady...missed you. Yeah, we've gotta do what we've gotta do... so might as well love it.

Oh wow. Listen, you'll be glad that you did this one day, no matter how much of an imposition it feels like right now.

My sister was diagnosed with Leukemia right before my Senior year of college and my parents were suggesting that I sit out the next year, but that was not happening. So, I changed my plans for that Summer between my Junior and Senior year and went home to help out and then I made my way home as often as I could (an hour away), but I wasn't prepared to just end my life altogether.

It doesn't sound like you'd be ending yours either. Pray for God to give you patience...

hey, nic. the character f a person that does something becuase they think it's the right thing...rather than it being something that they want to do is incredible.

There is a blessing is sacrifice. Sounds like your own your way to it via your mother.

Though I don't know you, I'm proud of you.

Peace

@ JMW,
Thanks. It feels good to have been missed, but I’m gonna’ try to keep up with my post from now on. As far as mom goes….she is already pushing me. I’m just going to try to roll with the punches and hope things get better.

@ Sugar,
I hope that I don’t live to regret this. She is a very difficult person. I took care of her for a long time before, but had to leave when it became too much of a strain on me. My health started to deteriorate because, well I was all alone. When I moved out and away from her it was wonderful. I never got homesick. Not once. But I guess the vacation (and that’s what it’s been) has to come to an end eventually. I’m sorry to hear about your sister. Is she a younger or an older sister? Leukemia seems crazy scary. I hope she’s alright now. I know what you mean about “ending your life”. I don’t want to either, but the back and forth is eating up my time and gas, so I’m just going to start with 3-4 months. If she doesn’t want to make an honest effort, then I’m out. This is going to be a Battle of Wills.

@ DC,
Awwww, thanks. I hope my blessing will be that she gets better. She’s been sick with one thing or another since I was a toddler. And (I know this sounds horrible, but) I’m so tired of it. Physically, mentally & spiritually. I hope, and pray now that I’m older I can make more of a lasting impact on her situation.

I’m going to try to keep everyone updated with this situation.

Peace
