I quit updating this for a long time, but I think I wanna start up again. Soo much has gone on/been going on, but I'm really not gonna explain much. All there is to know now is that it's my past. I made some mistakes, learned things about other people & myself, etc. I could go on & on about this subject, but I'm not going to. Enough's enough!!
My family situation- Things have changed dramatically over the past 5 months. My mom was diagnosed with lung cancer last November & started getting treated for it. She just finished her last chemotherapy session not too long ago & after a couple more tests & doctor visits, we'll find out the progress. She WILL overcome this, I have believed that since day one & so has everyone else..My dad passed away on February 23rd from a massive heart attack that occured at work. It was so sudden & shocking, & it still hasn't fully hit me yet. But we've had some amazing love & support from people & I can't explain how much that means/helps. My dad's funeral was beautiful. Soo many people came, lots whom I've never even met like his childhood friends & people from the police force in Highland Park where he used to be an officer. I heard some great/funny stories & just enjoyed hearing from all of those people. I think about my father everyday & still can't believe it happened. We didn't have the best relationship, but even after everything, I still love/miss him soo much. Me & my brother's relationship has kind of improved. We know that we have to stick together & he acts as sort of a mentor towards me. But of course we still drive each other crazy from time to time!!
Work- After working at Cloverleaf for 4 years, it being my first job, going from a hostess to a waitress, it came to an end when I quit today. It just got to the point where I couldn't take it anymore; things that I'm not gonna get into. It was such a hard thing to do considering I've been there for so long, met so many people..Many of them I became good friends with. So much has happened since I started working there & it's a hard thing to just let go & move on from. I'm definitely gonna miss some of the people & all of the memories. I have an interview on Monday at a new BD's Mongolian BBQ that's opening up soon, so we'll see how that goes..Angelina has an interview too!! I could go on & on about Cloverleaf & everything, but really, I'm just gonna end it here.
Tomorrow's Easter & it'll be the first holiday without my dad..My mom's cooking a big dinner & my brother's friend Brian is coming over. Him & my brother have been best friends for so long & grew up together. Brian's dad passed away from a heart attack a few years ago too, so he really understands what we're going through & he's been there for us through everything, so it's really nice that he's spending Easter with us.
On a lighter side of things, it's Spring!! The weather's been soo nice lately & I'm loving it. :-)
Well that's about it for now..Lata.
