Nothing but Good Stuff

Thursday, August 18th, 2011

I am ready for the good stuff. I am ready for the happy ending. I am ready for joy and excitement both. I believe those days are on their way. I actually see bits and pieces of them already. However sometimes they are clouded by others misconceptions and ability to see ugliness in something that was never intended the way they perceive it. I was approached yesterday by my ex husband in regards to my journal and facebook. He has been told that I am righting negative things about him which is not the case in any way shape or form. I actually have nothing negative to say about Darick. He and I are doing our best to facilitate a good relationship for our two beautiful daughters. In all actuality I have even made very kind comments about he and his new girlfriend. If you come to MY blog to try to stir up trouble or to manipulate my words into something negative then all I really have to say is, maybe you should spend your time somewhere else besides my journal. This is a place for me to share my thoughts and journey with those that love me and for me to leave a positive legacy for my children. It is not a gossip site nor do I EVER intend to use it to air my dirty laundry about my marriage. I think that is both immature and damaging to my children. Take my words for what they are and not what you can make them into. I loved Darick very much and am grateful for 10 years and 2 beautiful, amazing daughters. I can’t say that I will never talk about Darick and our interactions because that is my life and that’s where I am, and last time I checked this is my blog. Basically I want to use this to impact my children someday, bring awareness to others about ovarian cancer and be a positive light(to the best of my human ability) to all that read it. As my aunt Teri says “Be a blessing, or be quiet.”

Big day tomorrow

Wednesday, February 9th, 2011

Big day tomorrow. I feel a little anxiety but a little confident. I have been good about my program but there is always that little fear in the back of my mind. There also seems to be cancer shows and conversation everywhere we turn.  Mekaty turned to me the other day on the way to school and said “mom, are you going to die?” She was worried because a little girl in her class had just lost her grandmother to cancer. One of the most common things I get asked is how I answer that question. The best answer I have is, None of us get to choose if we die but I am doing everything I can to help ensure that I don’t.  I don’t know what else to say. I reassure her that no I am not going to die and that Dr’s don’t get to decide when people die, GOD does. Other than some major stress and being really sick I have felt pretty well and am now playing on 3  hockey teams.  Its so much fun, a great outlet and a great place to meet amazing people.  Tomorrow will be a telling day.

I wonder what those Dr.’s think…

Whew! 3 days in a row of snowboarding. I wonder what those Dr.’s think since they said I wouldn’t be able to function in 4 or 5 months :) I am BEAT but had a great day. Kim and I took the girls up today. It was MeKaty’s second time ever and Rilynns third. By the end of the day Mekaty had done 2 intermediate runs and Rilynn did 2 runs with me on the main hill including the terrain park. She even hit a jump and landed it. It was so fun to be able to make runs and have her enjoy it with me. It’s only the beginning of many girls ski days to come!
