Merry Christmas 2016

Merry Christmas! Happy Holidays! And all the other ways of saying Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! 

This part of the year is not a very exciting time of the year because I'm not near all of my family and friends but it makes me happy because I know that a new year is coming soon. 2016 has been by far one of the worst years in my life. 

Any way I wish everyone a great Christmas and I hope you have a wonderful New Year!

ONE WING IN THE FIRE

I didn't realize how long it had been since I even posted a music video or anything on here. I swore that I'd keep up with "I'm Okay Alright!", but I do have my reasons. I have medical problems and I've been going back and forth between hospitals to adjust medication. I've also been getting different doctors opinions an an implant. That is the main reason why I have been gone. 
 Last weekend, I lost my Great Grandfather on my mothers side of the family. This has caused a lot of sadness and brought my depression back out 10x worse. Seeing your mother and family members hurting, is tragic itself. I'm just happy to know that he is no longer suffering. Being in the hospital and seeing a machine take his breaths for him; I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. I did however leave the hospital that night with my cousin Justin and two of his children after being there for around 5 hours after driving with my mom 8 hours to see him. Thinking he had time to live. We were told he had atleast 3 months to live. As we were driving, we got a phone call saying he would maybe make it a week. As I said, we drove in and went straight to see him. My mom felt horrible because she hasn't seen him in awhile because we live 10 hours away not 30 minutes. She felt bad for not being able to see him before he was sick. I saw him in the room and it was heartbreaking but I told mom, that I'd be her support system because my father didn't want to be there. So for 5 hours, I dealt with tears of sadness and crocodile tears in the family from different members. After they left, it was my mom, my cousin Jessi, her husband Justin (cousin by marriage) and my great aunt and uncle. My mom and Jessi told Justin and I that they knew he wasn't going to make it through the night. Told us that if we wanted to go grab some food and go to sleep that's fine. It was late but I wanted to be there for my mom and Jessi. She told me her and Jessi would be fine with each other etc so Justin and I left with the kids. About an hour later, 20 minutes after midnight, he took his last breath and he's no longer suffering. 

These photos were taken 4 days before he passed away. He was coherent with everyone and was talking and eating. He finally got to see and meet baby Delilah (Jessi and Justin's newest addition to the family).  

These photos of my family and Great Grandpa are from almost two years ago. He was happy, and healthy. Just how I want to remember him. These were taken before I moved out of state with my family at his 80th birthday. Everyone was there. All of these photos will be treasured and loved deeply.

My momma claims this song reminds her of Great Grandpa Miller. Although I'm not a country music fan, after listening to it multiple times and thinking back as far as I can and remembering stories....I couldn't agree with her more. 


RIP <3
