Thoughts...

Today marks the 1 year anniversary of my sister Susan's passing. This day has not snuck up on me. I have been thinking about it since the 1st of October. I miss her. I miss her a lot. She knows my secrets, she also experienced some of them. I think some of those things are what sent her to do what she did. We had a hard childhood. She moved to my Dad's at age 14 so she got away from it sooner than me. She is now at rest with those things, but I miss her. I miss having someone to talk to. At times in our lives, we didn't get along. Before her death is one of those times. I regret that more than most anything in my life. She had bipolar and was sometimes hard to deal with. I didn't return a phone call to her a few days, maybe a week before she died. I so regret not talking to her. But she was in one of those spells where she hurt me. Her words could hurt badly, and at that time, I wasn't strong enough to deal with her. I wish God had given me that strength. She's gone now, and I miss her. I hope she knows I loved her, I protected her, and wanted only happiness for her. I was 2 yrs older than her and was always her protector. I took things so she didn't have to. I hope she realized that was because I loved her. I wish as we became adults, I could have always protected her, but I couldn't. Sorry to babble about this. I am just sad, and I miss her.

Fall is certainly in Ohio. The colors are beautiful. The leaves are all spilled all over the ground. The cool, COLD air is here. We have had some really cold temps for this early in the season, but also nice ones.

The next 2 Tuesdays I have tests at the hospital. Tuesday I am having the stomach emptying test. It's done in nuclear medicine. It is to test the degree of gastropareseis I have going on. I have been having some major stomach issues lately. Then the 3rd of November, I have the wonderful colonoscopy. I sure dread that one. Keep me in your thoughts please.

Thanks to everyone who has left me such kind comments. Those comments keep me going and I thank you so them. keep them coming please!!

I will end with a few pics of what keeps me sane and alive!! GRANDCHILDREN!!!

Matthew, Dominique and Briannah.


Taylor, Morgan, Sydney & Cooper

Miranda, Arryssa, Kirra, and Daniel

+++++End of EDIT+++++

I do not know why I am having such a hard time blogging, but I am. Maybe it's because I read other blogs and do not feel mine measures up to theirs. I don't have the followers they have. But this blog is for me, so I guess that doesn't matter. Some people have beautiful writing skills, and I just don't. If you follow or read my blog, I apologize for that. I love my blogger friends, and hope that they will continue to bear with me. PLEASE leave a comment if you read this, so I know someone is there!! LOL

I got my results back on the MRI and ultrasound. The carotid ultrasound was normal. I was happy about that as my grandfather had surgery for that when he was in his early 60's I think. The Brain MRI showed some evidence of some minor small strokes in the past, but nothing to major. The doc said we were already doing all the medications he'd start someone on with this result, so things are OK, I guess. He said not to worry about it, so I am trying not to. I am happy for the health I do have and try not to worry about the things I can't control.

I have been on the depressed side lately. It will be 1 yr since my sister Susan, died, on Oct 23rd. I don't think I actually grieved a yr ago, as I thought she'd come back, it was a bad dream, I don't know, but I am now doing the grieving thing for her. I miss her so much. Maybe once the anniversary passes, things will brighten up.

It's been down right cold in Ohio with freezing temps at night. I am not ready yet!!! I am sure that we will get some more warm days, or I hope so. I did some fall decorating on my front porch today. I need to buy a couple pumpkins. Usually it's tradition for the kids and families to visit me on Thanksgiving, but 2 of them can't come this yr. I am so sad. The wonderful money situation in our land. Carrie and her family will be here, Lord willing, but Jeremy and his family, and Aubrey and her family can't afford the trip this year. Sure wish I could win the lottery!!! LOL. I bet we all do!!!

Well, I will wrap this up with a few pics of my sweet Brice. They are so good to supply me with pictures. 1st one is my son Jeremy and his son, Brice in their SC Gamecocks Jersey's!









God Bless~
