And not even because of things that are happening to me, cause right now my life is pretty darn good. Yeah, there's frustrations, but that's life.
I'm at a lost because there are so many things going on to people I know and love, and there's not a darn thing I can really do to help them out besides send a little love and prayers their way.
My sister in law had her baby SUPER preemie. And yeah, I kinda knew it was going to happen with the trouble she was having. But now he's in the hospital so he can grow big and strong before he can come home - and he's having some troubles. :( He has two brain bleeds - grade 3 and 4 (which means they are pretty bad). And all we can really do is sit and wait to see what happens. I know people have had babies that have dealt with that, and they are fine now - but still. It's stressful and scary, and he's not even mine. :( I can only imagine how she is feeling right now. Just sending all the prayers and love and good vibes I can muster his way so he will get better!
And then my best friends from South Carolina are having trouble again. A few months ago the hubby had a bunch of crap happen - falling and hitting his head and losing his memory, having horrible fainting spells, and a bunch of other things that really suck. Well, He's been spending the last few months building that memory back up (but it still has HUGE chunks missing - like a lot of the things he knew about me :( and there's not much we can do to help him besides remind him, ya know?) Well, apparently he's still having the horrible fainting spells, and today it happened and he LOST HIS MEMORY AGAIN. :( I can't even imagine. He must feel so lost, not remembering anything. And I know she feels lost because they have NO CLUE what's causing it. And she's been the one there working so hard to help him, and all the progress is gone. :( So sending prayers and love and peace and strength and everything else I can muster her way. Praying for a miracle for him too. That has to be the most difficult thing in the world.
My sister and her family (extended too) have all been fighting being sick. And there's nothing I can do to make them feel better. And yeah, that's kind of a minor thing in the grand scheme of things, but I know how annoying it can be for everyone to be sick. :( Hopefully they all feel better soon!
My best friend in Arkansas is trying to work on the guest room at their house so they can have a nice place for their friends to stay when they come in - but they are still having to work so she's having to cram everything into what little time they have around work. And she's asked for help, but I'm not down there to be able to do anything for her. Sometimes I really HATE being so far away, and so broke. :( I REALLY wanna visit Arkansas right now, but being so broke it just isn't possible. :( At least we will be able to go down there after we get our income tax. I miss my people!
Ruben has been fighting with a lot of pain lately - in his jaws, his feet/ ankles, and even in his hands. And we can't afford for either of us to make it to the doctor to get painkillers that actually work. I'm working on it, but we just can't come up with the funds to go. :( So I've been doing everything I know how to do to try to help him out, but that isn't that much, ya know? Just seriously sucks to not be able to do anything, no matter how bad I want to!
And I'm still looking for ways to pay it forward for all the things we've been given. But that's hard when everyone I'd help lives so far away, or needs help with things that I can't do - either because it's PHYSICAL, and I can't physically keep up, or it's money, and I'm broke. Just trying really hard to make that work too. If you know of anything we can do - please let me know!
Anyway, gonna stop mumbling and I'm gonna go work on the girls Halloween costumes. :) Got the pattern today, so I'm working on cutting it all out and piecing it all together. I have 7 days to get it together (and honestly, I'd like to have it done by this Saturday - although I doubt it'll happen since I'm gonna be hand sewing it). LOVE YOU GUYS!
