I fully understand that with everything going on in your life that updating your LJ to inform one person about your dad would not be high on your list of priorities. I had not checked the Flint Journal's website in about a month and a half and just had a bad feeling when I went there this time. I also understood that with everything going on in your life back in February that updates would be few and far between.
I'm so sorry that you had to go through that final night. It had to be horrible for all of you. There just is no good way for a loved one to leave. If they pass suddenly, you don't have a chance to say good bye. If they pass away slowly, you have to watch them suffer. Either way, it is a tough, tough thing. We both went through the latter scenario almost exactly three years apart as my dad passed away in late July also. And oddly enough, we both went through the same thing in two of the hottest Summers in memory.
I hope your brothers, sister and mom are doing OK with this tragic loss. Gosh, Gavin is so young too......I cannot imagine!
I'm happy you are excited with this pregnancy and because you are, I want to congratulate you and very much hope that things work out for you and the child and in your relationship with the father.
I'm not just saying this to be nice, but I think you'll make a wonderful mother because of all you have been through in the last 5-6 years. You have been Baptized by Fire so to speak and with the tremendous amount of traumatic things you have been through in that short time, I think you are wise beyond your years and stronger than just about anyone I know. You have been through more strife in the short time I have known you than most people endure in a lifetime. And you are STILL standing.......which says a tremendous amount about your inner strength.
I'm sure the news of your pregnancy hit your mom like a bolt of lightning. I don't know your mom, but I know "her kind" and she will always be there for you. It is just the way people like her are made up and you should be very thankful you have her as your mom. And if you don't realize that now, you will some day.
I had a feeling from your last update that you probably had dropped out of school and with all that was going on it is understandable. I hope someday when your life is more even keel that you'll go back and get your degree. God, you are just so freaking smart it is scary and I hope you take advantage of that gift at some point down the road.
I know you can't update like before and I understand that. Just know you have a friend in me that really, really hopes that you will be well and be happy. I mean that sincerely. You are one of my favorite people ever (and also one of my most aggravating ones too! LOL!). Just know that I care a lot about you as a person and as a friend even though we are not in touch anywhere near as much as before.
Again, I am so sorry to hear of your father's passing and I'll be praying that you and your family will get through this as well as can be expected. I hope you can update when you have the time but if not just know I'll be thinking about you and hoping you are well.

Nicole, you stay strong and be good to yourself.
