Wow. My life is so far from where it once was. I have mourned the loss of my former self and am in the process of accepting this me. fibromyalgia has infiltrated every aspect of my life. Learning to slow down and realize there are things I simply cannot do without suffering for it at some later time. Although, I must say, I am happy to be alive. The Leotti family has lost a son, a soldier. My cousin Nick Leotti fought for the last 7 months to stay alive after a helicopter crash over seas. He took his final breath with his father and brothers by his side. His father, my Uncle Eddie, has proven himself amazing through all of this and I hope to see him very soon. You could not ask for a better person to have on your side (well, with the exception of my dad of course). Mommom recently had a stroke and needed to undergo brain surgery. She is still in the hospital recieving fabulous care at the hands of the folks over at Jefferson. I have recently realized how important my family is to me. I've always felt so disconnected, from all the drama and buried angst and grudges. Well, I am happy to say I am over all that. Old news is old news. The time has come to move on and move closer together.
