Roller Coaster

Family

It's been a while since I've blogged and have been a regular on here.  I haven't abandoned InstantSpot though! ;)  I've just been so side tracked with everything in my life.  There are a lot of evil people out there that just want to destroy you for no reason other than pure fun.  And it's so sad that so many people are so miserable they take pleasure in trying to make someone else suffer.  But in order to get down I guess I would actually have to do something wrong.

The only thing that gets me down is the thought of losing my mom.  I get very concerned about how long she has left on this Earth.  I think it could be years, but I really don't know.  She has ALS.  She is still able to walk and has the function of her hands.  She can still eat solid foods too.

My girls were sad when they left their grandparents. (We went to visit them over Spring Break)  My girls are usually ready to head home and play with their friends.  But now they are getting older and they are realizing that her time is limited.  Plus my mom talks about her illness and her untimely death 24/7! ;) 

Boy oh boy life is a roller coaster!

Hang in there Wendy. The gentlemen that lives across the street was diagnosed with ALS before we moved in. That was more than 5 years ago.

Enjoy every minute that you have with her. Savor it. Don't talk about the 'what if' or 'when' scenarios. My dad had a heart attack 7 years ago - it scared the hell out of me. But you know what, every single day since then I've enjoyed with him like it could possibly be my last. He's my best friend and I will *always* have these memories. Keep your head up and focus on the positive.
