Advice Taken (and so appreciated)
Good afternoon my Buddys!! Hows everyone doing this Thursday afternoon (almost the weekend…YIPPEE).
Have I posted this silly pic before? It just makes me smile, so if you’ve seen it before, hope it makes you smile once again 
I’ve been carried, supported, prayed for and loved more then anyone should ever be. I’m so blessed and I’m taking some of the advice given to me.
Today life has shown me many things….my buddies have pointed out many things. After alot of thinking I’m shifting gears as of today. I have tried to always be the strong one with the smile on my face. I’ve been in the back seat, and I don’t regret even one minute of living my life (in the past) that way.
But…………………..not any more. For those of you who have held my hand through the terrible ordeal with my father know how emotional it has been. I am really finally ready to surrender ALL the pain to God. I’m ready to ask for ALL the help I can get. And most importantly I’m ready once and for all to take care of MYSELF.
My dad continues to be depressed. My brother went to visit him this morning and Dad said these exact words “I just want to go home and sleep in my own bed” Well, you see, this is a sad depressed man, but a smart man as well. If he were to come home now it would be up to my Brother and I to get him in and out of bed for everything. Its impossible, so today I will have to explain to Dad that I can’t possibly take him home in the condition he is in.
So, the positive note here is I DO have the strength (Thank you to my special buddys) to stand up for myself.
I’ve done all I can do to make this transition better. I’ll bring a nice homemade BLT for dinner because he can’t find one single “Positive” thing about anything, especially the food. I leave feeling so depressed, I’ve cried way to many tears and its going to stop.
So watch out world!!!! I will love my Father, ask God to step in and help me!!!
I’m back with flying colors!! Watch out buddies!!! When I catch up on all the blogs….and get myself back on track eating properly, I will be MYSELF and HEALTHY!! and most of all really HAPPY!!
When I looked at my sweet grandsons face today as he lifted his little arms up for me to pick him up, I realize life is fragile. We have to go through so many hardships, but there are so many precious people, and moments of love in our lives that we have to hold on to so tightly. I’m holding my sweet Talan tighter then ever…he is my sunshine!!!
Wow, ok….guess I can call this Chapter I!!! LOL!!! babble babble babble!!! LOL!!!
Have a great day Buddys….You are Loved!! Each and every one of you are SPECIAL!!!
Act by faith, and the feeling will follow.

So VERY glad you are back, missed you. I love and appreciate you and what you are going thru, and for loving and praying for me, too. The world is brighter now that you are back! Hugs, Kama
OMG! LMAOOOOOOO….
I’m sorry Jane, I can’t get passed that picture. I’ll come back and reply when I can quit laughing long enough to type straight…………..
There is nothing better than a little one reaching for you, is there? That is what makes life special. You just gotta be thankful for the little things in life, they are the most amazing.
PS Never seen the picture before, it is hilarious!
Hey! Now I know what my halloween costume is going to be this year.
Geez…only someone so special can make me laugh out loud and cry during the same blog! Kama is right, the world is brighter now that you are back…and it looks like Shan is still laughing. Thanks for touching so many hearts Jane!
OMG! Where did you get that picture of me? LOL Just kidding! Made me laugh really hard. Keep strong and stay positive and remember there is only so much that one person can do.
Hey, Jane,
Re: Above picture
I want to ask you …how did you ever get
access to my personal photo album?
That is awesome Jane! I am glad you have found inner strength. You go girl!
Jane, YOU ARE THE BOMB and I feel so positive right at this very moment. I love your picture, could not wait to read your blog. LOVE how you are standing up for you and taking care of the very important YOU. Love you Jane. Take care and let’s get the Wii going for ourselves, hey? Good times
*hugs*
OHHH, Love the picture. Look at this sumo fighter. Look closely.
He trains for many hours every day.
He is massive but moves easily and can keep up with tiny ballerinas.
He weighs tons but he can stand on his toes forever. OHHH he is so cool!!!!! And he is not afraid to show his gentle, artistic side.
HEHEHE. Not something you all expected?
I know you wrote some good stuff under this pic but I cant make my eyes move away from my new hero, and I thought my feet hurt from too much weight on my toes LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Glad you’re back…dad’s condition is understandable. I was confined to a hospital bed for one month, back in 2003 it was the most depressing time of my life. I really would’ve been happy (AT THAT MOMENT) if God had taken me, but it was not meant to be. So…..what I am trying to say is that I understand poor dad. He continues to be in my prayers! And so do you my friend!
What an awesome blog. It is great how you are giving it all to God and He will help you and bless you. Your dad will understand. You are being super supportive and no one can overlook that. I just want to go hug my babies right now! Life is absolutely so precious. I am having trouble embracing it and taking it all in because I am so afraid something bad will happen because I’ve been so blessed. I guess I have to pray about it and give it up to God as well. Have a blessed day!
