Monday morning came alot faster that normal. Probably had to do with my entire weekend being filled with traveling, make-up, curlers, cheerleaders and sushi. Left the Queen City feeling all warm and fuzzy inside because I was able to spend time with family. Spent some quiet time on the two hour drive home thanking God for blessing me with them. Thanks you guys for supporting Khloe as she did her thing!

Monday started uneventful enough. Headed to my doctor's appointment for a physical at 8:30 and see my cousin's truck already in the parking lot. Park next to her and send her a text like I always do when I know where she is and she doesn't see me: "I SEE U" She texts back but doesn't disclose that she's not there for an appointment, but for an emergency visit. The next text I get a couple of hours later says: admitted to the hospital, room 616. I reeled for a moment then got my self together enough to ask those questions: what for, what the heck is going on, you need something?
Needless to say, after doing 2nd job, cheer mom and wrestling mom duties, I headed to the hospital to do a visual assessment for myself and of course to smuggle in snacks! Visiting hours were over but I would not be deterred. Afterall, this is family! All in all, she seemed to be fine, at least in spirit, we cracked some jokes, told some stories and tried to figure out the whole process for naming the dog T-bone Troublefield (T.T. for short). While I was there a parade of nurses came in to check blood pressure, to check blood sugar, to administer a rotten egg smelling breathing treatment and a host of other prods, pricks and pokes. I knew this first night was going to be a sleepless one for my dear cousin!
After saying good-bye (for 20 minutes) and hugging her at least 3 times, I left. Had a quiet moment on the elevator and asked an angel to stay behind and watch over her during the night. Had another moment of thanking God for family and for friends who are just like family; the second such moment in a matter of days.
So today on this Terrific Tuesday, I wanted to give a shout out to my family: mom, dad, brother, sister, my wonderful children and all of the extended folk who make life that much more valuable because it is filled with soooo much love.
This is so awesome!

ReplyDeleteI give a shout out back to you - for being a terrific mom and daughter!! In God’s word, He tells us in all things, to give thanks. To me, the key word is ‘in.’ As we travel this journey called life, we are ‘in’ this and we are ‘in’ that. Today, it is a blessing to be ‘in’ God. Love you more today than yesterday.
