Great News...

My mom went into surgery yesterday and given her history with hospitals, I inevitably had anxiety leading up to her procedure. I had let my EH know she would be going in. I felt that he would want to know about it, seeing as though she named him all those years ago and well, for a while there, she was his mother in law.

I figured he would call her, wish her good luck, you know do the honorable thing and be selfless and think of someone other than himself. Well, it seems as though he just couldn't do it. I truly believe that act was very cowardly. And cowards don't sit well in my book. He was never like that when we were together, so whoever has influenced him or whatever his thinking process is these days, isn't that of someone I would have ever married. It's one thing for him to be that way towards with me, but with my family, I give him no leeway.

I'm disappointed, disgusted, and saddened that one amazing individual has turned into someone I do not even recognize. Maybe one day he will snap out of it. I hope for his sake and for the sake of this world, as the person I knew was bound to do great things.

But moving on to my mom....before she left she gave me a tearjerker of a speech. She told me that if something weird happened during the surgery and if she didn't wake up she wanted me to know she has always been and will always be behind me. She didn't even need to say those words, because if there is one thing I know to be true, is that my family, especially my mom and dad, have always been behind me pushing me forward, lending support, and cheer leading me on to be the best that I can be.

My mom made it out of surgery, just like I knew she would, and I have to say she may be the best patient I have ever seen. Even with all the pain she is in, she doesn't complain. She has been through more challenging situations, that is for sure, but it never ceases to amaze me how tough she is and how determined she is in life. So that was my great news of the day. There will be other great news for me to share with all of you in the near near future, so until then I wish all of you a beautiful day!
