I'm right up there with you. Marke got home Friday night and broke the news, he too may be going to Japan. So I've decided to make as many memories with this christmas as I can. I can also agree on the Victor part, Rick's been hiding at the hunting camp in Watkins Glen since my father has passed. Thirty days and counting. Hate when they can't step up to the plate. We are so much alike that its scary. I'm miserable because of the cold, snow and just don't want christmas, but the tag team are really helping me understand that its for them I have to put a tree up and bake.
We are trying to do well here. The kids are handling it well. I'm on a mission to help my mom realize that she will be okay. 43 years of marriage and doing everything together is hard for her to understand. So instead of spending all the time with dad, now its turned to me taking care of mom. May end up in a divorce over it, but oh well, she's my mom. Rick's been at hunting camp hiding since my father's funeral. Counting down to see my lovely boy, who is right now telling himself everythings fine till he gets here and reality hits him. That's going to be hard. My dad was like a dad to him until Marke was 10. They had a stronger bond than most. Not looking forward to it. I will have Marke call Ashe while he's home. I know that he too is looking forward to the end of class and getting his orders. He really hasn't told me alot about whats been happening down there. Guess he knows I have a lot on my plate. I would love to chat with you sometime. Maybe over the holidays. Hope everyone is safe at your house and I'll keep you in my prayers. I take it one day at a time and try to remember to either make someone smile or laugh to carry on my father's tradition.
I'm sorry to have to inform you that I lost my father on the 13th. Sorry I haven't been on, but spent most of time with my dad. Hope Ashe is well. Marke is doing fine.
Sorry again, it's taking me awhile to respond. We live about 6 hours from NY City. As you have probably figured out by not being able to respond, dad's still in the hospital. Spiral effect. They are going to test bone marrow and bone because they believe he has another type of cancer on top of Leukemia. And he's afibing still. Lucky me. Ended up in ICU and the doctor's didn't believe he would have pulled threw. But he did. How's Ash? Marke called Thursday to tell me about his first flight and that boy's feet were not touching the ground. Told me the pilot said he was a natural and would fly with him anytime. How's things at your home? I've thought of you often, but by the time I get home from hospital all I want to do is cry and sleep. Still working half days, then to the hospital, and then I try to be home before the kids are in bed. I feel torn because sometimes I don't get alot of time with the kids. Rick's trying to be supportive, but being mr. mom is so not him. But he at least understands what I'm doing.
Sorry it's been awhile. How's Ash doing? Marke is doing well. How is every one in your house? I've been working, taking care of the kids and spending time with my father in the hospital. He's not doing very well right now. Has a staff infection on top of bacterial pneumonia. Not a good mix with Leukemia. So, pretty much I'm stuck here until further notice.
Sorry I haven't been on lately. Had my 20 year reunion last weekend and laughed at how people have changed. Course all I heard is how I havent changed. I kept saying that I grew up! haha I was scared at first but relaxed to shove Marke in their faces. How is Ash doing? Marke is studying alot lately. Talking about putting in for officer's class. We will see. How are you and Vic doing? I keep you in my prayers. Things a calm right now at our house. Rick's got one more week and then the plant is closed. But as I tell him, time for a change. Won't be easy but we will make do.
Well, Marke made it threw,but I was a mess. I have only today with him and then its back on the airplane tomorrow. Said he will start FRAC a month earlier so he's itching to get to base. The kids have enjoyed him and Marissa has done nothing but follow him threw the house. It's funny. How is your husband doing? You are in my prayers.
Glad to hear Vic is doing well. That's good that you have the support of Ash there to help out too. Marke is at SERE now and has been there since the 13th. He will be home sometime on the 25th. Yes, I'm not sleeping much. Wish I was closer, because I would help you out. Remember to try and take care of yourself too. You are in my prayers. Give Ash a big hug from me and tell him I am so proud of what he has accomplished. It's funny but Marke constantly says "Mom, please don't be so mushy with the other guys" but all I can say is the mother in me just wants to spoil and protect everyone of them. Keep me posted on things at your house! You have your hands full.
