GREETINGS OH FAMILY!!!!

May 23, 2012

Hello all!!! I pray that everyone is doing well. I just wanted to touch bases and let you know that I am still here. I am back in college and after 27 years of being out of school, I still got it . Right now I have a perfect A average. Only in my 5th class so we will see how long that lasts. Lee and I just celebrated our 6 year anniversary with a vow renewal in Ocho Rios, Jamaica. It was absolutely fabulous!!! Anybody who says there is no God, must have never been to this beautiful place. It was all around us. Stay blessed my friends and even though I am not on here much, always know that I am thinking about you. Love and Blessings.....Vickie

SEASONS GREETINGS FROM THE PARSONS!!!!

Dec 11, 2011




Hello family!!!! I know it's been a long time. I pray that you all are well. It has been a roller coaster ride this rapidly ending year. Had a little snafu with my weight and control. I went through delayed reaction dealing with my mommy's death, and I was very self destructive. I gained almost 20 lbs of nothing but Moscato.
I finally took a long look at myself and had a long talk with my Mom  (in spirit of course) and I began turning it around, especially when I turned 44 in November.
I am now back in college getting that degree,  and I am back down to 179 and working on getting between 160-165.
Lee and I are renewing our vows on our 6 year anniversary in May 2012, at Sandals Grande Riviera in Ocho Rios, Jamaica.
For the first time, in a long time, I am excited about life again.

To my girls Pokie and Hondurian Queen, I hope that you all are doing great. It has been a long time since we have communicated, but I am still your sister and think of you often.

Be blessed everyone, and Merry, Merry Christmas!!!!!!!


Vickie and Lee Parsons

So, as you can see, I have failed myself. I had a BMI of 23.6 in February, finally "normal" and now I have a BMI of 28.1 and am "overweight"

I have been so stressed, but that is no excuse. Sure, 5'9" and 190lbs is not too bad, but I feel awful physically. Coming from 267 and experiencing the high of wearing a size 8/10 for the first time in my life, and I muck it up because instead of reaching out and talking about my grief, I shut myself in and away from the world.

I can do all things through Christ who strenghtens me!!!!!!

9/18/2010 186lbs. Not happy at all!!!!

It's Been a long time I know. Still dealing with the loss of my Mama and my husband's Mama. Still haven't found a job, but God is providing. I have been so stressed, that I started the emotional eating again. I had gotten down to 156lbs right around the time Lee's mom passed, but when my mom died less than a month later, I lost control and haven't gotten it back. I have started drinking alot of Moscato wine to help me sleep, because I stay up for days at a time, and that has added pounds on me. I now weigh 186lbs. I am not happy, but I think I am finally ready to get it together. I did not go through the pain of the surgery and the blood clots and everything, just to regress.

My friend Dee, I love you and I pray for your recovery from the loss of your baby.

Now some good news. Lee received his Masters degree on the 7th of August and he suprised me with a trip to Jamaica the next day. He is trying to relocate to Washington, DC for a better opportunity. Please keep us in your prayers.

A Warning 4-7-10

Apr 07, 2010

My mom had bypass surgery about 15-16 years ago. She had done well all these years. The official cause of death was malabsorption and protein deficiency. Her cancer was in remission. All these years she was not getting enough of something called albumim or something like that. It is a form of protein that apparently keeps fluid from building up.

Her lungs and heart could not take all the pressure from the constant fluid. This is a wake up call for me, and I wanted to share it with everyone. I watched my mom fight for air and then slip into a coma. I watched her for 7 excruciating days waste away. I do not wish that on my worst enemy.

Just take care and be mindful of your protein intake. It took almost 20 years to take my mom away, so it is always a possibility. I wish she would have known that her body was betraying her sooner......she might still be here with my sister and I.

My momma, entered into eternal rest this evening at 8pm. My sister and I are devastated. I am lost and numb. Tomorrow would have marked the one month point of my husband losing his mother. God help us. Please keep us in your prayers.

Today my sister and I were told that my momma will not leave the hospital alive. Her breathing is labored and they say she will get sleepier and sleepier and just will go to sleep in eternal rest. She has asked us not to revive her if she stops breathing, because due to the damage the cancer and chemo have done to her bones, if they do CPR or use the paddles to shock her, it will break every bone in her body. The only option is to put her on a breathing machine and she told us today that she doesn't want that. Oh my God!!!! Please pray for us. It is only a matter of days.............................I can't deal. I need my momma.
