My Struggle

My Struggle - July 15, 2022


This morning I woke up in tears, I miss my family. The smell of EJ popping popcorn, the children coming in and out to visit or just run through. EJ and Dray playing the keyboard. My phone is not working right, and the self-help is not easy for me to do or the direction to follow. Please, do not think that I am not Blessed, or Thankful I am but being ignored still hurts. The people that missed the 30-minute meeting yesterday because they were too busy; sorry, that is why we have the Family Medical Leave Act. The reason the meeting was open to the entire family was so you could get a clear understanding of what is going on in my body. Also, to show the family what I have been able to do with the money everyone donated to my healing and how much it will go down because of hard work staff and myself. It took a lot of prayer on my side to become transparent with my health to the entire family. But this way no one must guess what happened to mom. They ask did your mother or father have. And as for me it is always a blank stare, I want you to be able to have a detailed conversation with good facts. Loyal you above everyone else should have been at the meeting. Our hearts are no joke, and the meeting was a learning session. Krisette thank you; you did a great job on my medications and the why? Matthew thank you, for keeping me going when I did not want to go, and Kevin thank you for being the quiet support. Love and Prayers Mom

Hey Bernadette I understand how you feel right now,sorry that your health is an issue. Family sometimes forget that you are not as active as you were when they were younger,that now you really need them to be a bit more attentive to your needs and not see it as a burden but as a honor to reach out and hold you up... You are truly blessed to have someone that cares for you and about you,may our God continue to bless you and your family and loved ones. Love you,you are in my prayers.💝
