life's full of curve balls

[chad1]

i got a call last monday that my sister was in the hospital throwing up with stomach pains, she's always been sickly our whole lives. i came out of the womb 2 weeks early weighing 9 pounds after a very easy pregnancy and have never been seriously ill or had any medical problems. cassie came out of the womb 2 weeks early and very small after a rough pregnancy and she's always been the sickly one who had problems. her pregnancy's been rough, she's been trying for 6 years and then eventually got pregnant with triplets, she had to reduce the identical twins because of health issues and she's had some close calls with this solo baby. anyway, turns out her gall bladder was in a very bad way, which is funny cause she's always had the healthiest diet out of my family, so they had to take it right then before she got to the 3rd trimester. i've been worried sick for her, i don't like crying about problems in my life to anyone because i think it's weakness on my part and takes away from me being a sturdy rock for others. out of all my "friends", there were only a handful of people who were concerned about what was going on and only 3 of those handful are people i confided my worries in and they were there for me when i needed them.

ginger, thanks for being there when i needed you :)

life's full of curve balls, but we all know i've got balls that'll overpower anything life throws at me.
