Time for a few Deep Thoughts on this Tuesday….
In less than a week my dad goes into the hospital again. This time for what they refer to as “Atomic Bomb” Chemo and then a Stem Cell transplant. This is good because it will make him better, bad because he will be in the hospital another 3-4 weeks, good because I know the end of this cancer crap is near, bad because I hate seeing him in pain. I cry, Im happy, I cry, Im happy. Basically its been nearly a year since he was diagnosed and I am ready for it to be over.
I am terrified of this LLC being finalized. That means I am a company. I can fail I can succeed and its all on me. That is scary guys.
Downton Abbey was back Sunday and did not disappoint…not really a deep thought but I really love the show.
I am meeting A’s parents in 2 weeks. We are going to Houston for a weekend so I can meet them and its his dads birthday weekend. Many dinners, brunches, shopping excursions etc have been planned. Im nervous because I want them to love me and Im excited because it feels like a big step in our relationship.
A and I planned a trip to San Diego for our birthdays which is another big step. Our first trip together and our first time celebrating each others birthdays. Yes they are a day apart. Actually we were born 12 hours apart. I love him and I’m excited for these big steps in our relationship that move us further along. Of course the cynic in me worries because of past relationships and other things that have happened but Im trying really hard to not think about it or let it effect me too much.
I am making an effort with my stepmom. Honestly this has been a huge challenge for me to be the bigger person but I know it makes my dad happy and thats what counts. I want him happy and not worrying about anything especially his wife and daughter getting along.
Any deep thoughts or not so deep thoughts you want to share with me today? Comment below!
Much love and luck to your Dad – my mom fought the same type of battles with her cancer so I understand what you are going through. And how fun that you’re meeting the family, that is a huge step!
I understand all of this! As a realtor, I’m responsible for creating 100% of my income. Fail or succeed, it’s on me too. So I totally understand you feeling scared about finalizing your LLC, but the important this is you are doing it & not letting your fear rule! I’m sure A’s parents will love you!
I am wishing you and your family well! I know first and second hand what it’s like going through cancer treatments so if you ever need someone to talk to I am here!
Praying for your family and you will do amazing as always so no worries!
Praying that all goes well with your dad!! I’m sure it means a lot to him that you’re making an effort with her especially knowing the issues you’ve had with her in the past.
Joe’s & my birthdays are a day a part. Just sayin’.
Congrats on your business, you will be successful because you are passionate about what you do. Have fun in my city! Houstonian a rock so I’m sure his family will make you feel more than welcome. And prayers are being sent up as we speak for your dad so he will be fine 🙂
Downton Abbey is just about the only thing I watch. I think I’ll watch it again tonight.
I will be praying for you and your dad! And I’m proud of you with your stepmom – that’s awesome!
Praying for your daddy, he’s a fighter!
Don’t be nervous about the LLC – you’re a born business woman. You’ll do awesome!
Also, A’s parents will TOTALLY love you! XOXO
I’ll be praying for your dad and your nerves with A’s family. Meeting parents is a huge step, but you are fabulous. I’m sure they’ll love you :).
I’m stoked about your LLC!
Praying for your dad!!
A’s parents will LOVE you. No doubt about it. So excited for you!
1. Your dad is going to rock this. I know it. I’m praying for him, you, the whole family. I can’t pretend to imagine how scary and stressful this whole situation must be…but you know I’m here if you need to vent. Im pretty good at the whole laugh cry laugh cycle. 😉
2. A’s parents will love you because he loves you. Simple as that. You are great!
3. I don’t have to meet A to know how good he is for you. I love seeing you happy and content. You deserve it! Maybe all that C shit was preparing you to see the really good life with A and to really help you cerish A…although I’m a perpetual silver lining finder sooo…who knows. 😉
4. Im proud of you for making an effort with your stepmom! Being the bigger person is so hard, especially with someone like her. Kate Gosselin of all people said it best: “I take the high road because to me, it’s the only road.”
xoxo
Neely! I have been MIA I’m back! Hold your head up high if A’s parents don’t love you they are nuts! Have fun and enjoy it! Prayers for your dad!
1) I will definitely be praying for your dad & you during his “Atomic Bomb”
2) A’s parents will love you, because honestly, who doesn’t love you? It’s a big step, but you guys are great together!
3)San Diego sounds fun!
4)Glad to hear you are making an effort with your stepmom. It’ll make your dad happy 🙂
5)This is totally out of order, but your LLC IS a big step, but I believe you are gonna kick butt at being the owner of this company!
