As you may know, I started this blog for my kids. It's a wonderful tool to help me "vent", but it's really just a big journal for them (along with you) to read about my daily life. Well sometimes I wonder if they're even paying attention, until I get texts like the one I got the other day from Johnny. Johnny is 16, a Junior at Mira Loma High School, football player, kind of quiet, very funny, and an all around GREAT kid. The text he sent me said...
"Just so you know, some kid just presented in front of our class and his mom has cancer and stays in bed all day and makes him depressed. Thank you very much for trying so hard to fight this thing."
I cried. What a wonderful boy I have. I wrote back to him telling him that I wasn't about to ever give up, and that I was fighting this fight for him & his sister.
Jordan is my daughter, she's 12 (and I don't care that she's having a birthday next month, I refuse to believe she's going to be a teenager!). Anyway, she's my little momma. Jordan is absolutely a God send. Jordan holds the fort down when I'm not doing good. John works a lot of mid-shifts and so it's very hard for him to help out as much as he wants to. Believe me, it pains him to go to work when he knows that I'm not feeling good. However, he does know that Jordan will help me whenever I need it. I must give Jordan lots of kudos for the tremendous job she does on cooking these days. She whips up dinner on a regular basis for us and never complains if I ask her to do something in addition to helping around the house. Besides making dinner & helping her sick mom, Jordan is an honor student at Westside Preparatory Charter School @ the Frontier Campus. Jordan has always been an amazing girl so this is just part of her nature. What FANTASTIC kids I have. I'm truly the luckiest mom on earth :)
Today I feel BLESSED to be a mom!! Everyday is Mother's Day to me :)
Peace to you all!! Love, Genie
