in almost 5 months...
too much has happened.
i jumped in the car drove to erie, pa, in hopes of creating a life with who i thought was the love of my life. i found out my baby brother was born and my mother was in a coma...i jumped in the car to be with them....deferring plans to start a pre-medical program....and a job that i actually liked....but i knew what my destiny was.
i struggled to give him a life....to get him out of the hospital...nurse my mother back to health...was unemployed for 3 months...found a job....supported my mom in getting back on her feet....she was doing great. i broke up with the "love of my life" my dog was given away...i deferred my pre-medical program...and i stayed in new york....
then i started talking to a long time friend, things seemed to be going well, at least better than they had been, then my mom dies, my whole reason for being in new york..some friends came through for me and others wrote my mother off as a nothing because she was a recovering addict..and therefore not supporting me...so i remained strong through it all...planning my mother's funeral, picking out a casket, paying the undertaker, identifying her body, calling the medical examiner, fighting with my father over calling the medical examiner....while taking care of jonathan all the while.
and today....a judge could tell me that all my hard work and sacrifices meant nothing and take jonathan away from me.
if she does...this strong woman will break.
