In today's world people makes friendships and breaks the chain of what friedships really mean. Looking back at the times that I was young and in high school, I cherished my friends and thought of most of them as sisters and brothers.. others were close but there was a few that was just a little different.
With children of my own now, I have found myself going to bats for both of my children and sometimes thier friends as well. Running to defend my daughter was the most of it at high school the 4 years that she was there , my son on the other hand , it was running to school to make sure they were teaching him at least life skills.
My daughter is a very bright and 'could have' life at door step every step of the way if she'd ony open her eyes. She has made alot of choice's in life that I do not go alone with but at the same I will stand up when I feel she's in the right .
Dealing with your children friends , can be a touchy place in life but after all if you don't stand up for them its like my sis said 'who will'.
My son , he's charming young man . I love him so much different then my daughter but I love her as well. Josh was born with a learning disablity . At the time , we did not know how much it would effect him, now we know.
All I can ask out of him , is to give the school 150% of his self and go all the way . Pick up on everything that he can , so he can make it in the real world.
Now about me , I''m married for going on 7 years the 11th of this month. Only 2 years into this morriage , I found out that I had cancer.
Talk about turning your world upside down, it did.I have had to face more in life this round then I could have believe I could have handle. But I did and here I am today.
Getting the news that you have cancer places your mind far away . Your hearing what's being said but at the same time your not anywhere around the room that it's being said in.
Chemo and radition , then more chemo , and more. There's no stop to it unless you just look at the docs and tell them enought is enought.With colon / recetal cancer the span of life is short. Docs thought I would never make to see the end of the year 2004 , but I did and I"m still here and it's 2007.
Alot of drive and hardwill , and holding frim to the faith of God is the only thing that has kept me going .Building that inner strength for the hard times makes it so much easyer to hold to when the good days rolls around and you can take a breath of air and relax. Friends that help to push when I'm so tired of pushing and family that tells you to hang in there that torommow will be alot better.
I love to met new people and I love to make other laugh and smile. I can ony hope that I can add a twilken in thier eyes. To add something to thier lives that they can look back on and remember me .
I have alot of special friends here on the net . Looking forward to meeting many more. I'm not shy , if you have a question don't be afraid just as.
Everyone it's been great working on my page today . I look forward to talking to many of you .
MY friends , I love you all and your all special to me .. To my sis... Your the best .. can't wait to met you and hear that laughter you have.
