I thought it was time for an update. It has been like forever......Things have gone from busy to crazy to insane. In April my father got ill, and went into the hospital--very bad month. May 30, he died--an even worse month. It has all been very dificult. He's been gone for about 8 months and I still miss him like crazy. I never thought we would loose him. I kept on thinking he was going to get better. However, when I look back, I should have realized what was going on. He has had a bad heart for a long time, and it finally gave out. He had a massive heart attack. He was in physical therapy, and fell over. CPR was started right away, and EMS came and got him to the hospital, they shocked his heart several times, but could not bring him back. It was just meant to be. He had been failing, and couldn't do alot of the things he wanted anymore.
His mind was also starting to fail slightly too. It was all for the best. I would rather have him leave us, then have to watch him suffer.
Then, to top things off...3 weeks later, my husband's father died unexpectantly! He also had a heart attack
He was in his early 80's and abused his health all his life. Dave and his Dad were not close, but it was still hard. It was way too soon after loosing my Dad.
The day after we buried my Dad, we moved Em up to Mt Pleasant. She has an apartment with her old dorm roomie
She moved up there to attend school in the summer, so that was hard too. She has been away for 2 years, but now she is in an apartment...living the adult life. She is doing well, and I am very proud of her..just another change.
Then there is Dave's Mom...I could fill an entire entry with all of her traumas lately,but I will save that
for another time. She is just pretty much being "her".
I am still working for Christoher and Banks. In August, I stepped up from Sales Supervisor to Assistant Manager. I enjoy my job, most of the time. It can be very stressful and challanging at other times. However, I do enjoy a challange.
So... there has been nothing BUT change in my life lately. I think I am finally adjusting to all of it.
The last 8 months have been pretty much a blur. Now, I am hoping for a nice, stress-free, boring life for a while. Is there even such a thing?
Anyway, just wanted to let all of you know I am still alive! I will be updating more often now..got lots to say!
