I've been trying to think of a way to come back from a year long break of blogging...and I just haven't figured it out. I just decided I'm just gonna do what I do....word vomit...and see what happens.
Let's start with today. Today I found out that a very close person in my life (details I will not divulge due to the sensitivity of the issue...*yet) has been diagnosed with Stage IV cancer. My heart is broken. My heart is crying...no, BAWLING. Cancer is such an ASSHOLE! My heart bleeds for this very important person and for their family. 6 months has been allotted to this person as a timeline for LIFE.... that is so devastating. I think putting a timeline on somebody's life is so cruel. Yeah, I GET it, but I don't like it. I feel like telling somebody they have Cancer, especially Stage 4 (threw that in there for the Roman Numeral illiterate ha) is bad enough that you don't need to put a timeline on it. Especially one so short. It is heart breaking.
That being said...I wanna cry....
But I wanna move on....
I, my friends, have made the leap into VOLUNTARY SERVICE...well, besides whatever is considered voluntary with the guard. I have become a part of the American Cancer Society's Relay For LIFE!!! Not only do I have my own team, but my very good friend Melissa has put together a whole Relay for Kuna, and I have become an integral part of that! I am a Committee member. The Entertainment one, to be exact....I'm just super scared I'm gonna mess it up. It's SOOO much work and SOOOOOO many people are relying on me. I just hope I don't let them down. Starting the beginning of April, it's about to start getting crazy. I have to get this ball rolling. I hope you all can help me, and if you have any questions on HOW, PLEASE let me know. I could use all the help I can get at this point. I really wanna throw a big thank you out to my team "Jonesin For A Cure" who is the number ONE team for raising money for the cause as of today. Sammy, Joe, Taylor, Robert, Julie, and Janay....they are my team, and they are awesome!
NOW, let's talk about my little man....who is not so little anymore! My son is 9, can you believe that!?!? My mind is blown every day by how smart he is...he is a video game and youtube addict, but he's MY video game and youtube addict. He's the best. We got his report card a couple weeks ago, and he's doing AWESOME....
Everything else is just....waiting....to get better......but it's getting there. And to tell you the truth....I CAN'T WAIT! :)
