Grab your Kleenex’s! I promise these stories are going to be
tied together. I hope somehow or somewhere y’all can relate to them because
tonight this has hit me the hardest.
1.James from the Next Great Baker shared a hard story for us,
the day he found out that he had one hell of amazing opportunity and that was
to be on Buddy Carlos The Next Great Baker (how freaking awesome that is, if I was
talented like them I would jump on it) but the same day he found out he has a
brain tumor. It was so sad. I literally was in tears. I feel for him and his
family as they go into this battle (because it does suck).
-James I hope surgery went good, and everything is fine. Your family is in my prayers!
2. I also received a phone call from my best friend. I seriously
don’t know what I would do without her. She is my go to person, the person that
completes my craziness, one on that can finish my sentence; we are two peas in
a pod. Her mother called and told her that her Aunt Patty received news that
she has breast cancer (cancer can go f**k itself right in the a*s)!
Today is National Roof Over Our Heads…(something like that).
And today I am so thankful for the roof over my head. To me my roof is many
covered buildings in many places. My first is my home that I lived in for
almost 21 years, but yes it’s time to move on. And I am ready.
My second is my grandparents’
house who can see my old house (hint its only ½ block away-playing in the back
yard we knew if my grandpa was mowing, or if they had company—we are not
creepers its loveJ)
The third is the house that is right next to my old, when I was in 6th
grade this weird girl (she was in 4th grade) and her parents moved
in. I didn’t think they would stay long since many people usually moved in and
moved out. After years and years they are still there and I couldn’t be
happier. They are my second family, my second mom, another strict dad-haha and
my little sister that I never had. During those years we received bad news Mama
B had lung cancer (during this time we were told she would only have so many
weeks to live). It broke us all, we didn’t know what to do, what to say, it was
AWFUL! After years (AND I MEAN YEARS) of fighting, we BEAT THE S.O.B.! **BOOOOM TAKE
THAT CANCER** 5 years of being cancer free (yes we have had our scares but each
time it brings us closer and strong together as one family even though we are
just neighbors, which I truly LOVE). Well this past year we received awful news
again. This time it went to her BRAIN,
which is probably the hardest one to beat to me. This time we were told she wouldn’t
make it to the middle of September or even that. So my mom and I helped her and
got her whatever she wanted to start to prepare-her wishes. I hated it because I
felt like she gave up on me and her daughter. Several days I would take her to radiation,
make sure she was eating because her daughter left for boot camp and she didn’t
know because they wanted to tell her in person, which we all respected. After September
approached she was in good spirits and guess what we are in December and she is
due for her last Chemo next week and then we go to see where we are standing.
She is stronger, back to her normal self and I couldn’t be happier! We had our
goal going in with our guns blazing because cancer pissed us off and we weren’t
going to be bullied.
~If you have a loved one who has cancer, I understand the
stress and the tears but stay strong and know that no matter where you are I am
praying that someday we can cure this bully~
My fourth place-roof over my head and final place is my first year of college
where I spent in the DELTA GAMMA sorority house at William Woods University.
Yes, it was hard leaving in a place with 40+ plus women but it was wonderful I couldn’t
be happier with my choice and going Greek.
HOT DAMN DELTA GAMM
YOU KNOW WHO THE FUCK I AM!
During this stay I received a mom who I totally love (she
adopted me so I joke around with her about the true love) and my best friend
whose Aunt received the news. Both their families are my family. My sorority
mom mom baked me a cake for my birthday when I was homesick and I couldn’t take
my car out due to the massive snow we received. And then my BFF whose mom gave us boy advice
and sister who allowed us to stay in her STL downtown apartment which I loved!
I couldn’t be happier with my choice. I know I did not mention everyone on my
sorority but I will in later days because each girl in our house makes us
unique and made each of us stronger through all our events. No matter how old,
the mold-which was gross, water leaks the house was amazing because it WAS a
roof over my head with women that is soooo supportive. ITB
I hope everyone has a wonderful day
NO matter what is going on in life stay STRONG and BELIEVE!
