My parents

Things have been crazy around here. I thought it would slow down but by the looks of it, it isn't, I'm ok with it though. I prefer to be on the go instead of vegging out all the time.

Lots of stuff has gone on and I apologize before hand if this seems long but I must keep track of it.

My mom recently got sick. My mom has never gotten this sick before. It was bad so bad we ended up in the ER. We were told she was ok after several test had been done but for some reason I wasn't satisfied. The monitors showed different. I called a dear friend who is a nurse and she agreed with me. I snapped a picture of her Echo she had that to them she was ok. Only to later find out she really wasn't. We went to see her doctor and when she saw all the results she was upset and in disbelief they did nothing.
Lets just say the nothing they said she had ended up being several things that required her to be started on several medicines.
She has HIGH blood pressure, she has a heart problem and by the looks of it shes diabetic. She had to have her gallbladder removed asap (which they did 6/15/12) her surgery went fine but getting her to wake up and breathe better took longer then they thought. She scared us a little but thankfully shes getting better. Shes still not herself her health has really gone downhill. God willing in a few weeks shes back to her complete self. For now we are taking extra, extra care of her
My mom is a major part of who I am, who my kids are. Without her guidance I would not know what to do.
She is the reason my kids want to be successful they want to make her proud. They say they owe it to her and us.
They are somewhat right bc my mom has been that gma I never had. My moms mom was never really loving to us.
 My moms mom played favorites and while it doesn't bother me I am HAPPY my mom is loving and my kids love her in the end thats all that matters. If my grandpa was alive im sure it would be a lot more different. My gpa loved my mom and his hugs (the few I got before he passed away) were always full of love.
In his honor my 2nd boy is named just like him. I love him and miss him so much. I cant help and think one day my mom wont be here but i hope to god thats a LONG LONG time from now. I love my mom she is the backbone to this family she is what keeps us in line and all so close to each-other.

As some of you know my dad had a bad stroke 6/21/10. I cant believe it has been two years. My dad hasn't recovered, he is still completely paralyzed from his left side (neck down) he still requires someone to help him 95% of the time. He can feed himself but thats pretty much it.
I have a hard time accepting how he is a total different man. Its hard, I grew up always seeing him take care of himself 100% & now to see him like this is hard even after 2 years.
He has develop vascular dementia.
 I think his condition has taken a toll on my mom and thats why her health has deteriorated so much. All in all I am very thankful he is still here with us and I understand gods will is at work. I just miss my old dad. The one that would just get up and dance when he heard a song he liked. The one that would tend to his garden and always plant those cucumbers I love. The one that would sit in the log chair outside and it would be the 1st thing you see as you drive up to the house. I MISS my old dad and for some reason or another I just cant accept what has happened to him. I just cant. :(


While both my parents are important to me and I love both of them dearly sometimes I tend to favorite my mom, ok most of the time I favorite my mom. While a lot of girls are daddies girls, just like my girls, im not. I'm a mommas girl always have been and I will always be.
I have seen my mom go through so much and still keep her head held up high.
My dads stroke and the new man he is now.
Mistakes we all did as teens, problems caused by family.
 My gpas death (she was a daddy's girl), my older brothers many mistakes as a teen, not turning her back on us when I got pregnant with my oldest and so many more stuff. She is strong more then she can imagine. To me she is one of a kind. She is the best mother, grandmother, mother in law. Shes the best in general.

I had an update on my kids but will save that for tonight or tomorrow.
