Lotsa Time Went By...
Lately I've been good...
Last Sunday Myself, Hector and Lucia went running early in the morning at Clove Lakes park... It was really nice.. it was a beautiful day and we were just walking and jogging all around the park... When I got home I was told that Lorraine Kelly (one of my neighbors) had died of breast cancer leaving behind her husband and her little girls )ages 8 and 6 Shannon and Kerrie. She was only 38 years old. For some reason this news didn't really hit me. How could a woman so young with those two little girls die? This woman who had always been at the end of the block watching over her kids playing and talking to the other mothers on the block and now all of a sudden she was dead? It wasn't registering my head that this could even remotely be true. I showered, changed and went to 12:30 mass. After that I picked up my baby and we went to Chevy's to have some lunch and just to talk. He's the one I turn to when I need to so I turned to him to talk about it. We sat, talked, watched the Yankee game and ate. The day turned into a better day right from there. He took to me to Philip Js to buy some Coney Island candy and that night we just lounged around. We watched School of Rock in my living room then fell asleep in my bed.
Monday was school all day. I came home early though because I really hurt my knee and I was in super amount of pain. I got a 90 on my history test and a 70 on my law test. (70 may not sound good however the highest grade was a 73 so I did quite well for a class without a curve) That night I was exhausted so I just slept for the night.. obviously with Danny right by my side..
Tuesday I was off from school and work which I must say was sooo nice to have some time all to myself. I cleaned up my house a little bit and I did some work. Mostly I read and watched tv. I picked Danny up and brought him to the doctor. I dropped him off and then Danny came over on his bike and we washed my car. Then we took my bike to the gas station to fill the tires with air so that we can go riding in the park. I'm all about getting in shape this year. I mean not that there is absolutely anything wrong with my shape or weight but I want to be toned and feel healthy. Danny wanted to start working out again anyway even though I don't think he needs it but who's going to argue with someone wanting to get healthy. We bought some Goodfellas that night.
Yesterday school all day followed but I left early to go to Lorraine's wake at Harmon. It was so painful. Finally the reality of it hit me when I saw that skinny woman lying in that coffin. She had been so sick and now she was finally not in pain anymore. Her husband and her brother greeted my father and I as we walked in. All the neighbors were there. I turned into another room and there were her two little girls. They were just sitting with people talking to them. Kerrie (younger) was acting up, but they said she's been like that since her mom went into hospice. You hear about these horrible things but somehow you don't think anyone so young that you know will suffer from these things. Breast cancer is just so deadly when you're younger though. Estrogen feeds the cancer. It's so aggressive in young women. She fought for five years though. Now she's finally at rest. God Rest her Soul.
Today I'm going tanning, getting my nails done, running the library and doing some homework. When Danny gets out of work we're going bike riding. I'm so tired, but my family refuses to let me sleep so Up i am. lol..
