One step forwad... Two steps back!

well... so i started this a long time ago and never really took avantage! I've decided to start writing again since a lot of my other friends are blogging, it will be easy for them to keep up with me as i enjoy keeping up and reading about them!

This summer has been probably one of the craziest summers I've ever had. I started dating a guy in the spring named Danial, who I will talk about later! His dad had a stroke about 10 weeks ago (you can find the link to his page to your right, which tells about the miraculous story) and so I have been by his side through all of that. Although Steve, Danial's dad, is getting better Danial continues to drive to chattanooga from calhoun twice a week and he also stays at his parents house about two or three days out of the week to take care of the house for his mom. His dad is in a rehab center in Eastridge and everyday he accomplishes something new that he couldn't do the day before!

My grandmother passed away on the 9th of this month, which was very hard! She had a very rare cancer that some people call "jelly belly". It coats the organs in the body and basically ends of sufficating them and the pain is unbareable. My grandmother had surgery a few weeks before she passed because she was so miserable, although her doctor advised her against it and told her that it would probably end of killing her! She knew what she was doing... she was tired of suffering, and who could blame her! My grandmother was an incredible woman who had 13 children... we have a huge family and things will never be the same! I love her so much and miss her dearly :)

One thing that has helped inspire me to start writing again is that I have been sick all week and have had nothing else to do! I had pharyngitis, which is also called a "sore throat". I know is sounds pathetic, BUT... I'm not sure I have ever felt so bad, for so long! It's a viral infection in the throat therefore there is nothing you can do, but take something for the pain and pray that it runs it's course in about a week!

That's all for now, I'm really excited about blogging again and I hope that I can stay up to date with life :)
