I was looking back through the last few posts I have here, and so much has changed since then. I haven't posted since March and it's now December. In that time, I have completed the radiography program, am about to finish the mammography program, separated from my husband, moved in with my parents, switched Monkey to another school so that she can ride the bus and make our lives easier, watched my dad have a stroke, gotten the call that he had another stroke in the hospital, and gotten the news that my mother has cancer.
It's been a crazy few months. Somehow I've managed to hold it together when all I've really wanted to do is sit in a corner, sucking my thumb and rocking gently back and forth. I think a big part of why I've been able to keep it together is because of my mom. Even through all her struggles and everything she's been through, she's still my rock. My inspiration. She helps me to be strong for my daughter (and myself) despite everything we're going through.
I don't know what I'd do without her.
