Hello my beautiful friends! Oh how I have missed creating things for everyone, but I had to take a step back for a while. For those that are close to me know, for those that don’t here is a bit of our life that last 2 years.
The last 2 years have been very hard on our family. My mom was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer in April 2021. Mama was a fighter! She took Chemo like a champ and one scan looked great, but then the next one scan showed differently. She fought hard for 11 months. She passed away in March of 2022.
While helping my mom through her fight, my nephew Mason was killed in June 2021, while trying to protect someone else. Mason was a baby when I moved in with my sister, so he is more of a brother to me than a nephew. A piece of me died that day when I answered the phone. That is a call I will never forget hearing. The trial was held in July of 2023.
My Dad also had lung cancer, but he had been battling it for several years. But on his birthday in July 2022, he fell and broke his hip. He had to have surgery and rehab. He got stronger but had to stay in a nursing home because he was not able to stay by himself anymore. Daddy lost his fight to cancer 8 months after mama did and passed away in November 2022.
So now…we are living life and creating memories! No matter how small it may seem, if it makes you happy- just do it!! Stop wasting time.
