The sad news is that my step-dad is in the hospital & isn't doing very well.:( He has end stage liver disease. It's not from drinking or anything..it just is. If you have followed my blog some, you know that he started getting sick in December & he has pretty much just gone downhill from there. His daughter, Theresa, flew in yesterday from Texas. She's a nurse, so she understands what's going on more than I probably do. I don't know if he'll ever go back home or not. He is really weak, dehydrated, isn't eating much, is sleeping a lot, etc. I don't want him to die.:( I hate that people have to die. I hate that they have to be sick. I can't imagine life without him. He has been a great dad the past 16 years or so. My mom will be lost without him. She's holdimg up pretty well right now, but he's still around & she can go see him & talk to him. It will be different once he's gone. Just didn't expect it to happen this quick, I guess. He's only 67.
JM is in Scotland..and it hasn't been easy. We text some & have talked on the phone a couple of times, but it's too expensive to talk much. We don't text a lot either..which bothers me. He has texted me though & has said some sweet things about missing me & all. Just wish he was closer. He may stay over there for a year..not sure yet. He would come home at the end of June for a couple of weeks first though. It will be nice to see him, but would hate him leaving again. I ask for "signs' sometimes..to guide me or tell me what I should be doing. I didn't really want him over there for a year, because I was planning on moving down there to be close to him & all. All this stuff started going wrong with my house, etc. Well I have been on the list for Section 8 housing for almost 3 years now..and nothing. But I have also been on a list at these income based apartments for a couple of years. They called me last week & said they will have a 3 bedroom upstairs apt available on June 1st. I'm supposed to go sign some papers on Wednesday, look at the apt, etc. So maybe he was supposed to stay there for a year & I'm supposed to live here for now. I don't know. Anyway, I hope it's a nice place. It's going to take me forever to pack..I have soooo much stuff! Some will go into storage, some to the new place, some to Good Will & the rest to trash. Dave (my ex) has decided that if I move, then he will live in the house & take care of it & pay for it., His girlfriend, Christy will be living with him too. I don't really care as long as they can take care of it. The boys will be happy that they can still come here. I will miss the house though. It sucks that I will never own another house again. I will just be renting for the rest of my life.
