The house was forclosed on. He rented a small place which is working out ok. He is only home late at night and hasn't been bothering anyone. We three older girls all rotate "baby" duty as we call it. We always called them the three babies because of the age gap between us. either one of us spends the night at their house or they come and stay with us. The girls desperatly want to hold on to their home life even in a new place so we haven't made them live with one of us. Luckially Sky and Sadie can drive now so that has taken a huge load off of us. The two younger ones still go to the christian school mom had them in so there is no transportation. We use the money we get from social security to pay their tuition. It was very important to mom to keep them in that school, so we make sure that is what her money goes to.
My nana left shortly after mom passed and has only been back once for a visit. Our extended family has pretty much gone back to the old habits of only calling every once and a while. Being around them turns into like a competition of who is hurting more about mom dying. It's so wierd. While us sisters and mom were amazingly close, her brothers and sister hardly called even when she was so sick. They made coming for her memorial into a vacation. were even taking pictures at her service with their kids and stuff. It was so incredibly wierd. My nana calls way more often but she had a heart attack in August and had 2 stints put in the week after her father passed away. She left a few days after moms memorial service. Everyone did. We are just a bunch of kids trying to raise each other. Yeah I'm gonna be 28 this week but I still feel 17. I certinly have no idea how to raise a 15 year old! We are doing okay and we have a great group of cheerleading parents from the school who help us out where they can. It's hard for us to live our own lives while taking care of them, but there are three of us so we can do it. I say three but there is a forth older girl she got married this summer and is expecting a baby in January. We let her slide of baby duty. I on the other hand had sadies graduation party to put on the day before I had Zach! I will never complain tho. I know it is what mom would want us to do. Try to make everything as normal as it can be without her.
Zach has the flu and he's only 4 months old so they dont give them cold medicine like they used to. It's nights like this that make me really wish mom was here. She always knew what to do with a baby. I hardly even knew how to hold one! I am not a baby person! I love mine, but thats it!
Good Night all. I hope you are all doing well and loving your families tonight! I'm too tired to proof read this so please excuse my spelling and such! Amy
Lost my mother, Minnie, to Oral Cancer October 29th, 2008. I am so thankful she had the OCF to help her through her five year struggle. | | |
