Today is the first day of High School,Last night we made sure he had all the hings we think he would need today in his back pack,got clothes ready for school and set the alarm for 5:15am. had a nice Sunday supper and then shower time and bed at 9PM. I could tell he had things on his mind by the way he was laying in bed looking up at the ceiling I asked him anything you wanna ask me ? or tell me? he said well how will I find my class? I told him you know its on the 2nd floor so when you get to the 2nd floor start looking on the doors for the class numbers if you cant find it ask a teacher, I told him I know your nervous but remember its everyone's first day just as you, the teachers are expecting most kids to be lost the first week. I further explained what will probably happen the first day:meet the teachers, get lockers and combinations, gets lots of paperwork for parents to sign,etc. So with that he went to sleep

Yesterday I spoke about 2/1/2013 the day that changed my life well to pick up were I left off,My Brother has died and S/O has cancer.I'll do my best to explain this first of all He has Bladder cancer and as other Cancers it depends on what type?, how far along? what stage ? and treatment plan Well it was horrible finding a Dr, then the Dr we had was just awful didn't explain things that good and no bed side manner. From the moment s/0 started his bcg treatments he always felt This Dr is rough, does not explain. his equipment seems old, things don't seem sterile . But, we didnt know what we were doing and how were we to know that as time went by we heard more and more negative comments about this Dr but I guess thats another story. S/O started BCG treatments ,Intravesical Therapy click the underscored highlighted for a definition, He went thru that for 1 year after the death of My Brother it was hard because I was in mourning for my Brother and I wanted to be left alone I was just sad and feeling lost I probably wasn't as supportive as I should of been but I couldn't help it. The first round didn't work every week he had a catheter inserted into his penis with the chemo or BCG which ever you prefer to call it .We were referred to surgeons now s/o did loose weight but was lucky with side effects they were minor.
That morning s/0 and I were going to our appt for our fasting labs for our diabetes,after we did that we stopped for breakfast we were starving. We just sat down and ordered our breakfast,when I got a call from my Sister-In-Law she was crying I couldn't make sense out of what she was saying she was crying and saying emt's are here they are working on David , I was saying what? what's wrong? she said he wont wake up,they have been working on him for a few minutes now. A million thoughts somehow went thru my head I gotta get there I promised him if
Good Morning, Happy Saturday.
I dont know why something about Its The Weekend!!!!sounds good , just makes you feel I dont need to do anything I dont wanna do (hahahahaha). Makes you think I can relax a little and enjoy life. Today our family counselor will be coming for our weekly visit she's a god send. I need to start working on next weeks Meal Plan and a few errands for a dinner i am thinking the ribs in the crock pot its on my meal plan for this week /meal-planning.html I seriously should go to my veg garden we have so much work to do there it isnt funny we have been so so busy will visitors and life and teenager things and illness and of course me with my trigger thumb that we haven't been there in weeks. Have A Great Day I have so much to say I don't know were to begin, As I mentioned friends of mine from Fb came for a visit from Ontario,Canada. they drove from there and have been on a road rip of a lifetime but one of the stops was Boston,MA and that's were we step in. We took them for a tour of the north end o Boston yesterday walked 5 miles thru side streets and alleys, Faneuil Hall, North End, Boston Common all over. I cant even begin to tell you the places we seen and sights they loved my Boston the architect, the History, the Food just everything we went to Cheers, the Old North Church was amazing I live here and I'm still thinking about how great yesterday was. Im gonna upload some pictures for you to see
i have to share this i dont care had such a bad day i seen a message on my chat from some stranger saying hey silva whats up im back at fob shank(afghanistan) i messaged the kid back and said i'm sorry my brother has passed away etc,,,,so for the past hr me and this kid have been messaging eachother back and forth, He told me " I will never forget your brother we were on a mission one night and I didn't have my gear and armour i was a army interpreter, your brother had my back and said here ill take care of you and My Brother gave this kid his body armour WOW!!!!! some how his kid was put into my life today to tell me how fucking brave and unselfish my brother was with his army buddies this kid is 25 this was 2010
a little history my brother died at home 2/2013 of a heart attack in his sleep, he was in the Army, stationed in Afghanistan, There's so many stories I don't know but I do know a lot my brother told me one when he was in a IED explosion and saved his battle buds life my brother got the purple heart for that , these buds remained friends even after the army my brother and so many more suffered from PTSD . My brother would tell me i hear the voices of ppl dieing I hear my friends screaming help, and i have nightmares seeing what I seen , it seems from the above message my brother even took his own body armour off to protect a fellow battle bud its amazing for some reason that bad day I was having must of come in to play with receiving a fb message from a old friends of my brothers, he couldn't believe he died, he was telling me how much of a hard time he has having since home so maybe god worked and this kid needed me and my brother its all intertwined so I guess the nice time I complain about heat and my thumb , I shouldn't remember my brother and this mission with his friend John I haven't really complained this summer abut the heat and humidity but I am now ok I have had enough yesterday and today I am just grumpy and aggravated Can we please have cooler weather like 70F would be nice. Maybe the older we get the more we hate humidity I don know? but I'm all set with this. took my teenager yesterday to the mall for back to school shopping he was good he got a little tired at the end but that's ok, he did good we went to J.C Penney spent $145 there he got 2 pairs of pants 2 shits and 2 hoodie jackets so I am happy with that, from there we went to Sears and for $105 he got 3 pants 2 shirts again, Im Happy got Nike sneakers $55 and I sent away over the internet for shirts from kohls another 65$. The only think i need and we had no luck at was jogging pants work out wear whatever you wanna call them for gym for school but next week we will hit Burlington coat factory they might have a good fit for him there for the jogging pants I hope so,
