Hello again

Hello again, it has been quite a while since I posted. I have been pretty busy, but thought I would take the time today to post an update.

I had my surgery and it went well. Pathology came back OK, and I went back to school in a reasonable amount of time. I got caught up and even got a little more ahead. I have 2 more tests until I am done with one of my third trimester books, and the second trimester isn't even done yet. I have today and tomorrow, and then awards day and I will have the 2ND trimester over with. I have a 97 average, and will receive another academic award as well as my Information data processing certificate. One more trimester and I will get my Accounting Assistant Diploma, if all goes well.

The family is doing good, and I am very happy. This past week has been tough. It was the 4Th Anniversary of John's passing, and it was a tough one. Watching the kids that John was close to at church doing their LLL stuff was a real rough time for me. I couldn't help think that he should be up there with them. And also wondering what he would look like now, and who he would be friends with, and how he would be doing in school. It really sucks sometimes being a mom who lost one of her kids to a disease like he had. I sometimes feel that people don't understand and that they just expect me to "get over it" and I just can't do that. It isn't easy at all. I don't think I will ever be quite the same again. But I will go on and try to make him very proud of his mom.

I will finish school,

I will get a job,

I will help his sister get through,

And I will go on.

I don't really have a choice, do I?

But I will be "okay" and life will go on. So may God bless us all!

Judy
