Good news travels fast...

Well after the ucky day I had the other day it was about time my luck changed. I received a call today from my nephew J. J is very special to me as his mother Pyllis passed away when he was young. He is our only connection to my sister, the last line of the family and today I found out, he is having a baby, well not him specifically, his girlfriend just found out she’s pregnant. I can not tell you how excited I am or how sad I am.Happy because my nephew is having a baby, a new generation. I think it’s wonderful and I offered him congratulations.Sad because my sister PJ is not here to see her first grandchild. Is not here to hear the words from her sons mouth, Mom, you’re going to be a grandmother. Then the tears started, Im emotional when I have my period, worse where babies are concerned. I am so sad that the baby will only get to know it’s grandmother through stories, pictures and memories that we share. That the baby will never be able to be held or touched by my sister.So I have decided that this will be the women in my families job. It’s our job to let this beautiful baby know how much it is loved by the grandmother that it has never met. It our job to love this baby as close to how she would have. This baby is so loved and has not yet taken even it’s first breath.Life goes on, the cycle continues and PJ is smiling in Heaven.

I had all kinds of thoughts and plans for my future. Dreams of the life I'd lead and the places I'd travel. But dreams are simply mist, blown away by the winds of reality, and as a well-known movie of our  younger years taught us, 'Reality Bites'. Reality is a bitter bitch.

Monster Juice Spray pussifying our children?

Today someone posted a cute little story about a pharmacy that prescribes a Monster Spray to children that have monsters under their bed. They spray the spray before bedtime, under their bed and it makes all the monsters go away. A little six year old girl used it three times before she was sure all the monsters were gone. I find this story absolutely adorable. I think it's wonderful that this pharmacists does something so kind for small children with big imaginations. I think a little magic in this world is just what a lot of child need. The response from one woman totally had me stunned. She said it's crap like this that is pussifying our children. Really? Then she went on in another reply when asked what one has to do with the other to say her daughter was bullied and what are they going to make next, bully spray? (They do make a bully spray, it's called mace!)  Her daughter had to graduate early because of bullies. Okay, what does her daughter being bullied have to do...

Sometimes..

Sometimes the emotional pain becomes too much to bear. Sometimes the emotional pain feels like it's going to consume us. Sometimes the emotional pain is so overwhelming that we need a physical pain to release it before we lose ourselves and who we are in it. Not everyone can understand this, I get that. Not everyone can look at someone with scars that were self inflicted and say, I see your pain. Sometimes, we hide those scars under our jeans so no one will notice. It's not for attention, it's for release. Sometimes we dull the pain with alcohol, sometimes we dull the pain with drugs either prescription or illegal. Sometimes we smoke too much and talk to loud. But we find our release to keep us alive. We are survivors with our scars to prove it.
