Yesterday is history...
Tomorrow is a mystery...
Today is a gift...
That's why it's called the PRESENT!
Don't take life for granted; live each day to the fullest and be sure that everyone you love, knows you love them.

How Sweet It Is
A best friend relationship is the best kind of relationship two people could ever have. I have a best friend relationship like that. I can tell her anything and everything. I tell her when I’m sad or happy. We are not only there for each other through the hard times, but also through the good times. We share every aspect of our lives. I am there for her just as she is there for me. Her name is Angie and she has been my best friend ever since I can remember. Angie is my mother and she is truly the best friend I’ve ever had or ever will have. When I think of our relationship and how lucky we are to have each other I think, how sweet it is.
My mother cleaned houses for a living through most of my childhood; therefore she took me to work with her until I started school. Once I began going to school she would take me with her after school and on the weekends. We spent a lot of time talking about everything. She gave me advice on life and how I should be treated and how to treat others. We talked about God and my responsibilities as a Christian. Angie was and is still so full of wisdom and such a loving person.
Most of the memories of my childhood relationship with my mother are simply of love. I mostly remember that she was a very loving mother. She loved my two brothers and me unconditionally and showed it often. I know she has a special relationship with the boys too, but nothing like the one we have. Maybe it’s because we are both females. I can relate because I have a son and a daughter and I have a very close relationship to both of them, but the relationships are very different.
As I grew into my teenage years our relationship became very bumpy, but it never devoured. I was a typical teenager that thought she knew everything and my parents suddenly became the dumbest people on earth. I was wrong and thank God for a mother’s love because she never gave up. We made it through those tough years and they only made our love and bond stronger.
I became an eighteen year old mother who was merely a child having a child. I had my son during my Senior year of high school. My mother, my best friend was there for me once again. I was nineteen years old and had my daughter, by this time their father and I were married. If it had not been for my mom teaching me how to be a mother I don’t know where I would be today. There was time in my life that, due to my immaturity and selfishness, I took advantage of her kindness and she had my kids more than I did. I am ashamed of those times, but woman enough to admit my wrong doings. Even through all of my selfish acts my mother and best friend never gave up on me. She never turned her back on me. What an awesome person she is.
The relationship we had then has only grown stronger and bigger through the years. I have grown up a lot since then. I thank God everyday for blessing me with a mother and a best friend like Angie. She is truly the kindest, loving, sweetest, smartest, most beautiful woman I know. I strive everyday to be at least a fraction of the person and mother she has been all of her life. I know if I can be a little bit like her that I am a good person, because she is the best person I know. Thank you mom for being a wonderful mother and the best friend I could ever have.

Life as a nurse
Life is a precious gift from God. As a nurse I see that everyday. I wish with all of my heart I could be an advocate for terminally ill people. I want to make certain that they die with dignity and most importantly, pain free. I have first hand experience of caring for a terminally ill person 24 hours per day and 7 days per week. My patient was my husband, my soul mate. I did everything in my power to be sure that he died pain free and when he died he was absolutely pain free! He was so amazing, until the very end of his life. I work in a 40-50 bed hospital and it seems like everytime I work I am touched by a patient who is at their end of life, the end of their journey on this earth. I try to give them as much information as I can to let them know their optioins, but once they leave the hospital, I may never see them again to be sure that they are comfortable and getting the best palliative care possible and that they have an advocate to fight for their rights to die pain free and comfortable. I pray for my patients daily and I want everyone to know that their loved one or themselves can die pain free. I ended up having to take my husband to a specialized Hospice Unit in Texas the last three days of his life in order for him to be pain free because the problem we ran in to was that the Doctors in this town had no idea how to care for a patient who had extremely painful terminal cancer. I refused to watch that man suffer and we loaded up in an ambulance and went to BSA Hospice in Amarillo, TX. We weren't there 10 minutes and he was PAIN FREE, and died 3 days later, PAIN FREE!!!! I simply want the world to know that no one ever has to die in pain! I am here for anyone if I can help!

Teenagers!
What the heck happens to kids when they become teenagers that makes them ignorant, no stupid is the correct term because ignorant means that you do something wrong, not knowing any different; my teenagers do crap regardless, then fret about it afterwards! I know...I was a stupid teenager too, but I KNOW that I did not do anything as stupid as my kids have done lately! I'm getting to the point that I don't know what to think or do!!!
