It's Been Awhile

Journal Entry: Tue Apr 8, 2008, 2:31 PM
  • Mood: Joy
  • Listening to: Come Together- by The Beatles
  • Reading: Myths Of The Norsemen From The Eddas and Saga
Hello everyone. It seems that it has been awhile since I posted much of anything, but I have been rather preoccupied.

My mother is not doing well and she is not expected to make it very long but of course the doctors can't or won't say much. We've heard it would be as early as May and as late as September. At least it will not be a surprise with her like it was my dad.

Dawn and I found out as we were on vacation in Florida. That's where I took the most recent photographs. My brother called and said that we needed to come back now. We had gone to the gulf coast after being in Orlando. There were no major highways where we were and so I asked for directions to the closest one. I know it's amazing - a man that asked for directions, but it was more important than pride.

As I finally found I-75 and was flying north @ 100 mph, my brother calls back and says that my sister blew the whole situation out of proportion and to not hurry back. Excuse me but if my mother and sister were just given news like this whether is was crucial at the time or not, I'm coming home.

Anyway, right now she's alright but her cough is getting worse. I ask all of you who still smoke to please quit. I've seen her struggle so hard to breathe and it breaks my heart. Smoking almost killed me as well on September 21, 2006 when I had a heart attack. I know it's a difficult thing to quit smoking and I know you have to pick the time you quit if you decide to do so.

Take care each and everyone of you.
Love you all,

John

Thanks I appreciate your comments. I love those cars you have in yours and yes they have their own sex. My poor Black Pearl is currently undergoing surgery after a wreck. She's my baby but not a fast one, just cute.
