I saw her today...............

Jul 21, 2007

You know that girl...........the one who always hid inside  since a very young age shes been there ive known it all along.........but now shes grown up, she was in my shadow, she has curves instead of rolls and walks strongly and stoicly with her head up with the knowledge she did the absolute best thing in the world she could do for her, she has become the butterfly she was always meant to be.

I saw her today ......walking up that hill without skipping a beat, she looked to the sun and smiled glad to finally be released from her cell(s) and truly believing she will never be there again because she is going to be the best she can be and that includes making the right choices and being more active in the world around her.

I saw her today.............the only sadness she had was that her parents arent here anymore to see the beautiful person she has always been, (but maybe they did hmmmm?) but they cant be here to dance with her and celebrate the real importance of life with her anymore, they cant watch as she skips through the flowers to bring them home for the best mom in the world like she really wants to do...........espescially for the warning her mother brought her through her brave and frightening fight with diabetes and all its horrifying side effects, they cannot meet the man who saved her life, thank you very much Dr. Kevin Krause you are my hero.

I saw her today......................a woman looking forward to a life of LIVING, not sitting on the sidelines watching it go by, looking forward to being taken as a human being with feelings and opinions not just being an inconvenient yet soft bump in the road for other people.

Before my life altering decision, i was simply waiting for all the ill effects of the human killer diabetes to leach my life away one single inch at a time painfully.............Now im looking forward to a long and wonderful dance, with all the trimmings.  I look forward to being there and doing things for and with all of you, you too are my heroes too thank you for being there and accompanying me along this wondrous, wonderful journey

ok dropped some more.......woo hoooooo

May 07, 2007

LOL i had it down to minutes earlier today i think when i take out the sleep time and the work time i end up with 3ooo somethin....SIGH...Im really really lookin forward to gettin on the healing side of this thing, my boyfriends little girl who lives in NJ took my mind off it for a bit he has 2 an 8 yr old and a 6 yr old and they were here last summer, well as part of their easter presents i made them photo albums of their visit with daddy..........and she had it out the other day showing it to a neighbor boy and left it on the porch and it got RAINED ON.......oh my she is so very upset so ive printed her some more pictures of the visit im going to take them and have them laminated so that wont happen ANYMORE lol....
honestly i welcomed the distraction, i had my self a  good cry i guess the first real mourning session for food........im just on a liquid and veggie diet and finally i fried a little zucchinni in olive oil and spices and that seemed to stem the tide of tears i think im just wanting something hot to eat, cold is gettin old lol i still havent gotten my picture trails doo hickey thing workin, we are working on it tho im not just gonna leave that blank gray square there for all time lol........well just letting you know im still here and by some stretch of the imagination still sane...........GAWD is this gonna be a crappy 6 days
