Go here and look at the first one with the kid "The greatest"

Questions

I have seen this posted on a few other blogs here and there so I'm trying it out on my own.

You get to ask me any 5 questions about anything. Then I get to ask you any 5 questions in return. If you have a LJ/blog post this up.


So there have at it! Any 5...

Lost...


I just had this strong feeling of anger and sadness hit me just now out of the blue as I was reading through another LJ community and it had nothing to do with what I was reading.

I have so much negative crap built up over the last 10+ years having to do with my parent and right now all the things that have to do with my father have come to a head.

Before my father's mother passed on she made amends (made up, cleared the air) with her daughters (my father's sisters) so that there was nothing left feel mad or pained about between them before she died. No unresolved issues between mother and daughters.

I really feel like I need to do this with my dad. He has been getting more and more health problems in the last year and with this it makes you know how close he could be to passing on.

I need to say things to him. Things I know that will hurt him and pain him. Things I need to get out in the air between us so that if anything happens I can move past them. So self centered I know but I can't help but have these feeling after some of the things that he has said and done over the year about me. It hurts to have a parent look down on you no matter who and what you are and I need him to know that not only has this pained me for years and years but that he is also doing it to Rachel and even John and Paul to a lesser extent.

But I can't do this while he is sick as it might hurt his recovery... but if he passes away before I can talk to him and we clear this up I will never be able to think of my father without a tainted ping of hurt. I know if this is how I feel that my siblings need to as well. All our lives have been hard and we all have had crap to go through but I feel this needs to be done.


I'm so lost as to what to do...

My dad is in the hospital


He has been there for three days and they say he will be released on Tuesday.

He was helping Paul at the Redwood SLCC Institute when he started having a hard time breathing and felt like he was going to pass out. After they sat him down the people there called 911 and they rushed him to the Intermountain Hospital in Murry (on State and 50-something south).

He had blood clots from his legs move up into his lungs and restrict his breathing.



I'm really angry (more then angry, sad, at a loss for words and so much more that I can't really express right now in words) at my mother right now. She stopped my father and Paul from calling Rachel, John and me and telling us what was going on. Then when she got home hours and hours later she deliberately for some unknown and messed up reason told us the wrong hospital. Only after talking to Paul in private did he tell us that she had stopped them from calling and telling us that he was in the hospital even though they had 5+ hours in which they could have used one of the many phones either in our father's hospital room or the courtesy ones or the pay phones to inform us that he was in the HOSPITAL!

Then only after calling the wrong hospital to check up on him and them telling us that there was no one there under that name and an extensive internet search did we find the right hospital and get a hold of him to ask if he was alright.

Never mind my anger and vent as I have to vent the anger somewhere and this is the place that least hurts others....

..but if you would would you please take a few seconds to either send some good karma his way or remember him in your daily prayers.


I'm still at a loss for words and yes worried at the moment.

Good morning new day

So here we are at the start of another new day. A new start and a new breath. *big breath in*

I think that the fire burning is being pushed about on the air. It has been smelling like a semi-sweet Asian spice factory got spilled in a strong wind with a hint of burning wood.

Anyway I'm kind of excited for no reason at all. Just a happy, bubbly feeling. Its still quiet and dark outside and the world seems to still be asleep.

Anyone else love the time that the world is quiet and still and the sun creeps up over the mountains and spills into the valley and lights our little piece of the world? Then slowly as if the light gives the world breath people start to come out and move about. At first a slow pace that speeds up as the sun raises and baths the world in more and more light.

Right now out of my window I can see the sun's rays of light peeking over the crest of the mountains. The blue gray glow is lighting the sky to the East and starting to push back the blanket of black night.

In the next little bit the morning newspaper will be making an announcement as it thumps on the stoop outside. The delivery person is one of those few people that has a job that lets them see the sun rise each morning. I can't think of one job that grants you a more beautiful end to each days work.

The cool breeze that sweeps past you as you walk through the damp grass, with only the sound of the sprinklers going about their daily duties and the song of birds waking up and greeting the dawn. Depending on what part of the city you are in or the street you are passing down you might even be met with a cocks cry.

I really do enjoy the mornings.
