Death!!
August 28 2008
I went to work tonight and was at work for 38 minutes then I got the call from my older brother and he was in tears telling me his wife of 17 yrs had passed. I am at work and he is in Florida. I feel so helpless and not knowing what to do to help him! He doesnt have any family there but had many many firends. All of her family but one son was there and I am glad that his wife’s family was there but it’s not the same. I asked him if he wanted me to leave Nashville later today to come down and be with him and he told me “NO!” I need you to be there and I will be coming up to visit you soon so I can have some time away from here. My bosses have told me that I can take as much time off to go be with him as needed but if he doesnt want me there right now then I guess I will wait. There wont be a funeral. She had asked for her to be cermated and then have a big party in her honor. She wants to be remembered as one that loved to live life and not worry about things. I want to thank her for she was the one that back 15 yrs ago started to search for my father since David didn’t know any of us. She knew then that we needed to be with him when the time came. She has been dealing with cancer for over 22 yrs now and she did survive well. I am going to miss er smiling face and never worrysome mind! Le Ann I miss you already! God will take care of you now and I will see you in the afterlife!

My only night off
August 16 2008As I sit here drinking a cold cheap can of beer, listening to my dance music, in my new home I wonder what it would be like if I didnt buy this home? Well, I would probably be laying in bed at mothers and being bored since she doesnt let anyone drink beer in her home. I had a friend over and she left but is returning soon and another friend is on his way to come for a cold beer. This also wouldn’t have happened if I didn’t buy this house. This is so sweet. I can now have friends over to entertain and not worry about anyone bitching! Thanks so much Kathy Tyson! Your the best!!

Home ownership
August 01 2008Well, I have finally moved in to my new first home and I am on a high that only life can give you when you achive. I am so very proud of myself because 8 yrs ago I was so into drugs and living in a run down motel in downton Nashville and barely living. Now I have grown up at the age of 41 and actually have something to show for my life and I am proud! It can be done if you put your mind to it. People say I can’t quit drugs or the drugs have taken over my life but in reality it’s all int he mind. If you want to get off drugs you can. You just have to hit rock bottom and then decide life or death? I had choose life and look at what it has done for me. I have a wonderful job with great bosses and a family that loves me and now a house to call my own!
