Remember When
2006-08-07 19:15:02 Sitting on my front porch, which is really my parent’s porch, I watched a little boy driving around in one of those kid cars. His grandparents, the couple across the street, own two of those cars. One’s a Hummer and the other is some sort of Barbie Jeep. It seems that on this day the little boy chose the Barbie Jeep opposed to the Hummer. I heard his Grandfather tell him he could only ride from the drive way to the left of their house, and to the one on the right. He turned around in the driveway to the right and then made a B-line down the street passed the safe driveway on the left. Grandpa had to get up from his white plastic drug store chair and yell at him to come back once he finally stopped four houses down. It made me remember how far away the other side of the street always seemed to me as a kid. I can remember my mom telling me that I couldn’t go around the block when the training wheels of my bike finally came off. I’m pretty sure that going around... More About: When

Summer Breeze, Makes Me Feel Fine
2006-08-07 19:15:02 It’s Sunday, and as of right now that means poolside at my friends house. It’s going to be a hot one today and I’m excited. My goal is to sweat out all the worry I have had the past two weeks. I’m tired this morning. Tired of thinking about all that has been on my mind. I have learned a lot in the past few days. I have rekindled the notion of how important family can be. My Aunt and Uncle have been in town from Florida for the weekend. We sat around the table last night and spoke of memories. We laughed and cried. Nothing much seems to matter to me lately other than being with those who I love. I need to thank those that have made an effort to be there for me and my family through all of this. The phone calls and your presence have been a beautiful distraction. Today I will forget, if only for a moment, what we are going through as a family. Today I will pretend, if only for a few hours, that everything is going to be okay. I won’t worry that I’m ...

All I want to do is sleep and not think about what all of this means. I came home to my dad eating a giant bowl of ice cream. It’s been so long since I’ve seen him eat anything unhealthy. My dad is a type 2 diabetic. He was able to go off of his insulin over a year ago due to eating right and exercise. Now it’s not too worried about his sugar and I can understand why. I have been doing research on line. Not much is positive, especially now that we know he’s stage IV. I’ve never felt so distant from the world and my friends. Not even when I have my months where I don’t leave the house. The lessons all of this has taught me are tremendous. I’m sure there are more to come and honestly I’d been fine if I could stop learning. I’m not sure I have enough hope. I’m not sure I have enough strength to get through this.
