Unlocking the Doors

It’s been over a year… August 27, 2011

Well, it’s been over a year since I have blogged. I am not sure if anyone is even still blogging. Doesn’t matter, still going to write this. Alot has happened since my last post.

1) My niece Zoey was born on January 29th, 2011. She is almost 7 months old, and she is my world right now. I love her so much and she is so precious to me.

2) I had tonsil surgery in February and got those bad boys out! For those who know me well enough, I had some pretty large tonsils, and with my current insurance I was able to have them taken out and it’s wonderful!

3) My stepdad died of a massive quariny heart attack on July 10th. He and my mom had been separated for a year and a half, and I didn’t have the best relationship with him, but he was still in my life for 20+ years, and was more of a dad to me than my biological one. There are some really great memories in my heart that I have with him. I wish I would have been able to tell him that I had forgiven him for everything, and that I hoped he could forgive me one day, but that doesn’t matter now, since he is in Heaven. RIP Michael William Thomson. 9/5/63-7/10/11.

4) I am having my gallbladder taken out on September 1st. I wasn’t crazy about having 2 surgeries in 1 year, but thanks to my insurance 90% of this surgery will be paid since I met my deductible with my tonsil surgery. Had to go to the ER to find out I had gall stones due to some horrible pain, but just glad I didn’t have to have emergency surgery.

5) Since Michael has passed, Mom has to handle his estate since they were still technically married. There is a possibility of us moving back into the house. I remember Mom asked me when we first found out, if I would move back into the house. I said only if Ty Pennington was in the driveway. However, it is more of a reality now, and I know my mom would like to have a place of her own and a home for her grandchildren to come play. The house was originally hers anyway, so I feel it is rightfully hers. It just needs alot of work done to it, and money for that is nonexistent. So, I am researching government grants to see what I can do.

This is what has been going on for the past year more or less. And I can say, that God has been so good. Through surgery, through tragedy, through jumping hoops with legal matters. God is still good. Thank you for your peace, Jesus.
