SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW
LIKE MY DADDY ALWAYS TAUGHT ME.
REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS.....AND AGAIN I SAY REJOICE.
OF COURSE THIS IS VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME RIGHT NOW.
BUT I KNOW MY DADDY IS WITH MY LITTLE SISTER CHRISTI AND THEY ARE CATCHING UP.
I WAS WITH HIM WHEN HE PASSED.
HE FOUGHT ALL WEEKEND.
HE WANTED TO STAY.
HE FELT THERE WAS WORK LEFT TO DO.
THAT'S MY DADDY.
ALWAYS THERE TO LEAN A SHOULDER
TO GIVE A PRAYER
TO WED
TO SEND TO HEAVEN
HE DID SO MANY WEDDINGS AND FUNERALS THAT I WOULD HAVE TO COUNT FOR EVER TO TELL YOU.
I WILL THOUGH.
HE MARRIED RICK AND I.
HE WAS THE BEST DADDY GOD EVER CREATED.
I MISS HIM SO MUCH/
THANKS FOR THE PRAYERS. I CAN FEEL THEM AROUND ME LIKE A WARM BLANKET.
I REJOICE IN THE LORD FOR FRIENDS LIKE YOU WHO TOOK THE TIME TO PRAY FOR ME.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
I WAS ALONE IN HIS ROOM WHEN HE WENT TO BE WITH THE LORD. I TOLD HIM IT WAS OK AND THAT I WOULD WATCH OVER MOM.
I SANG TO HIM OFF AND ON ALL DAY.
AS I WAS SINGING TO HIM SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW ONE OF HIS FAVORITE SONGS HE DRIFTED OFF. I WILL NEVER FORGET THE WAY HE LEFT.
I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE LOVE, FUN, WISDOM AND THAT HE WAS MY BIGGEST FAN.
HE ALWAYS ENCOURAGED ME TO LOOK FORWARD AND MOVE UPWARD SO IN HIS HONOR I WILL CONTINUE MY MUSIC, MY ART, MY KINDNESS AND ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I RECEIVED FROM HIM.....MAKING PEOPLE SMILE.
XOXBARB
THANKS TO THOSE WHO LET EVERYONE KNOW FOR ME. I LOVE YOU GUYS SO..

DADDY
This is one of the hardest entrys I will probably ever write. I know alot of you have been keeping up with me and my family. Alot of prayers sent our way. I can feel them all around me.
As you know my Mom was in the hospital with a broken hip. She flew through the surgery with flying colors. She is now in rehabiltation and doing an amazing job walking again more and more each day. I am so proud of her courage and determination.
Then Daddy had the scare of his potasium being too high and taken into another hospital until they could get him stable.
The hospital sent him home and then he apparently had a reaction to the new medication and fell. The neighbor who went by to check on him found him incoherent on the floor and he was rushed to the same hospital where Mom is recovering.
Then he got better and the hospital released him, but because of the falling Mom thought it best if he stayed at a sort of assistance hospital until they released her from the hospital.
Well he did not like it there....he hated it. He called my Mom and wanted to go home. He was trying to get anyone just to bring him to his house.
So I went yesterday to try and convince him to just stay until Monday when they were going to have someone who could come to his house and stay with him during the day.
I didn't think he was going to go for even staying one more minute, but I knew that me not being a nurse would be hard on him.
But I was on my way to either convince him to stay or to pick him up and spend the weekend with him until we could get someone to come to his house.
But on the way to the place my Mom called and said he had fallen again and was being rushed to the hospital again,
So yesterday was pretty rough.
He is not doing well at all. The reason he fell was because his blood sugar got too low.
He spent all day in the emergency room.
The doctor told us that he has liver cancer, his kidneys are failing and that there isn't much hope.
Daddy is in good spirits though. He is talking and talking about everything.
He has written a book and all it needs is to be typed out. He wants me to finish it for him.
He made it through the night. I will be there all day today with him and my Mom.
The doctor says we are between a rock and a hard place..
He is retaining fluid in his lungs but in order to get that out would be bad for his kidneys which are failing.
He does not want to be put on any machines.
So I have to be strong and just make his last days cheerful and happy.
He talks of going on a vacation with the whole family when he gets well.
I just smile and tell him that sounds like it would be so much fun.
Mom is being strong as well.
We know that God is calling him home.
Just hard to say goodbye.
Going to spend all the time I can with him and treasure my time with him.
Please continue to pray for us.
Thanks so much.

ROLLARCOASTER
WELLL...
I WENT TO THE VIEWING FOR LARRY.
WHEN I GOT HOME I GOT A PHONE CALL THAT MY DAD WAS HEADED BACK TO THE HOSPITAL.
I KNOW.....
YOU JUST CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP...
HE WAS ADMITED TO THE SAME HOSPITAL MY MOM IS IN THIS TIME.
SHE IS IN REHAB
HE IS ON THE SEVENTH FLOOR.
WE THINK HE MIXED UP HIS MEDICATION.
HOME ALONE AND PROBABLY NOT SUCH A GREAT IDEA.
ANYWAY WHEN I LEFT HIM HE WAS COMING BACK AROUND.
SO I WAS PLAYING HOSPITAL TAG.
GO SEE MOM....GO SEE DAD....ELEVATOR DOWN TO MOM.....ELEVATOR UP TO DAD.
MOM SAID....I MISS YOUR DAD SO MUCH I NEED A HUG AND KISS FROM HIM
DAD SAID...I MISS YOUR MOM TERRIBLY I NEED A KISS FROM HER.
TOMORROW I AM GOING TO TALK TO THE NURSE AND SEE IF THEY CAN GET THEM IN THE SAME ROOM FOR SOME TIME TOGETHER.
THEY ARE SO WORRIED ABOUT EACH OTHER.
ERIC IS COMING TOMORROW.
I NEED A BREAK.....

dad
GOOD NEWS AGAIN....
DAD IS ON HIS WAY HOME AGAIN.
THE LADY THAT CALLED ME TO TELL ME ABOUT DAD BEING IN THE HOSPITAL WAS SO UPSET THAT SHE HAD THE STORY A LITTLE CONFUSED.
YES THEY DID PUT HIM IN ICU BUT ONLY BECAUSE THERE WERE NO OTHER BEDS AVAILABLE AND THEY WANTED TO KEEP A CLOSER WATCH ON HIM....BUT HE IS ON HIS WAY TO HIS HOUSE NOW.
I AM GETTING MUSIC AND POETRY TOGETHER FOR LARRY NOW....
JUST KEEPING YOU POSTED :)
BARB
IN MEMORY OF lARRY
I HAVE WRITTEN A POEM FOR LARRY. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK....

when it rains it pours
When it rains it pours....but I think I am in the middle of a hurricane.
My Dad was admitted into the hospital tonight because his potasium level was too high. They have him in intense care.
My Mom is still in another hospital
Tomorrow is the viewing for Rick's brother Larry and the funeral is Friday.
My sister and I finally talked.
Let's look for the silver lining.....
1. Mom is getting a little better and will soon be moved into rehab.
2. Dad being in the hospital will make it so he is in a doctors care and they will make sure he eats right and that he gets his medication under control.
3. Larry is in a better place
4. It's a start.
5. Work went better today.
Rick and I celebrated Valentines early because of the next two days being tough. He bought me a dozen long stem pink roses and made me a card.
He cooked me a steak dinner and even made the potatos and brocolli.
going to get some sleep now.

A little better....
Well...I survived.
Thanks to all of you for the shoulders and good advice.
My Mom is doing better. Dad is too. He actually went to art class with a friend today. He is a talented painter and I know it helped to do something he enjoys.
As far as the Larry situation goes..I will just say that something fishy is going on. The place where he was staying was not taking care of him properly.
He was living....and paying btw in an assistance care home. The place didn't even have electricity. How does someone get away with this?
Also when he passed away family was not contacted until the next day........get this.....
AFTER he was already embalmed without family consent.
Rick is looking into shutting that place down and seeing what he can find out about what happened and if Larrys children have an rights about what happened.
We are having him cremated and would never have signed for him being embalmed.
The funeral home we are going through said that they called them and told them we were not paying for it either as we were not even consulted.
Have you EVER heard of this?
But anyway I am determined to keep my mind and disposition in a happy place.
I will not let these idiots bring me down.
1. God is in control
2. I am wearing a strap.
3. I have friends who love me and are praying for me THANKS SO MUCH for that.
4. I have someone who loves me with every breath
5. Eric is doing excellent
6. I have a new career that can take me places. I just need to give myself credit and dig in.
7. I am well
8. I have a warm house and plenty to eat.
9. His eye is on the sparrow and I know he watches me.
10. I can do all things through Christ.
This is my story this is my song.
and
I am so busy I haven't even had the chance to call and check on my parents. I am worried sick about them.
major vent....just getting it out....warning
I am sooooooooo aggrevated right now. As you know I got my license and as of today it went through.
So now, when customers come in I can sell insurance and make payments etc.
PROBLEM IS....
I am overwrought with all that is going on in my life right now and I am trying to deal with it all.
And just because I have my license does not mean I turned into a genius overnight.
I have never been shown how to do many things that are expected of me.....at least show me.
I can't ask questions about it without feeling like I am interrupting the other agents.
So I look like a stupid idiot.
So frustrating....
I feel like crying.
It is almost 1 and because we were busy I have not gone to lunch yet.
I have a huge headache.
I just want to go home and crawl into bed and cry until my whole bed is wet.
ok whatever I guess
Just mad because I think they should at least train me and not expect me to know how to do this without ever being shown.
Hopefully I will go to lunch soon.

Now What?
I came home last night after spending the weekend with my Dad and seeing Mom through the surgury.
I woke up this morning and my husband Ricks sister called to tell us that Ricks brother Larry passed away.
When it rains it pours.
I don't even know where to begin on this one.
Larry was a diabetic and very strong willed. He was stubborn and would not let us put him in a place where he could receive medical attention. He went out drinking last night and I still don't know all the details but he passed away.
I am not sure what he would have even wanted. He was a hard person to talk to.
He prefered to live the life on the streets as a homeless person. So when it rains it pours.....
AHHHH Calgon take me away!

MOM
Mom had her surgury today. Everything went fine. I went to visit her for a little while with two of our neighbor friends. Thank God for Doris and Lori. They have been such angels watching over my parents.
She is doing great.
She is alot like me....or I guess I should say I am alot like her. :)
We kid around alot.'
She was just out of surgury and cracking jokes left and right.
She is in good spirits.
I can feel all your prayers around me....Keep it up...We will get through.
I had to come back home today because since I am new at my job I don't have any time off.
I will call and chck up on the two of them tomorrow.
Right now I need some SLEEP
Thanks for all the words of advice and prayers. I come here to read and to get encouragement and you guys ROCK!!!
:) til tomorrow.
jello, McDonalds AND DADDY
As promised I will tell you about jello, McDonalds and Daddy.
He is doing okay he misses Mom so much....her dog misses her too. She has a little white hairy dog. She is going deaf I think...I need to take her to the groomers because she can't see through all that hair.
It became my duty this weekend to let her out side. I took her out the front and she walked all along the edge of the yard....she knows her boundarys.
She expects a treat when you bring her inside....
JELLO
My Dad hasn't been eating very much. All he wants is jello.
He asked me to make him some so I go to the cabinet and find boxes.....
orange 2
pinapple 2
strawberry 2
black cherry 1
lemon 4
lime 4
peach 3
I said what kind do you want? Heres the flavors you have....and I read each flavor from the box....after listing all his choices he says...GRAPE
um not listed :) I said do you want me to go buy you some grape jello? He said no how about apple...um....let me tell you again the flavors available LOL
He couldn't decide between strawberry and black cherry so I made both. I cut up some fresh fruit....read the box...it has been years since I made jello.
After mixing it all together I hear....is it ready yet? um no it has to um gel.....I convinced him to take a nap and told him it would be ready when he woke up.
After his nap I gave him some of the strawberry one...he took a bite and then asked me to put some sugar on it.....I brought him a package of sugar thinking he could just sprinkle it on a little....he poured the whole packet on it....about 3 tablespoons of jello.....He ate half.
At least he ate some I guess......
MCDonalds....this morning I asked him what he wanted for breakfast...He said how about some pancakes from McDonalds?
I said well would you like me to make you some homemade pancakes?
No I really want McDonalds and could you go to the bank on the way it is on......_____street. And I have a library book that needs to be returned....Ok so I will go to get your breakfast and then I will go do that for you I say....
Well I can wait can you go do that first and then get me some pancakes? You will need to hurry because they quit serving breakfast at a certain time..
Ok so I go make myself half way presentable....don't want to cause any accidents people looking at the ugly lady driving the car makeupless.
I go to the bank on _____street and there is no bank by that name anywhere....I call Mom at the hospital and she told me where the bank was....a totally different street.
Then I make it to the bank and the guy tells me he can't cash the check because I don't have an account there....I explain the situation and with my proof of id cashes it for me.
Off to return the library book I gotta hurry to make it to McDonalds before they quit serving pancakes.
I make it just in time...order the pancakes and head home.
I get home and give Dad his pancakes and a cup of coffee.
I look over and he is not eating...
Dad....what's wrong? don't you want to eat your pancakes?
And he says....Well that's the thing about McDonalds. Once you get it home it is too cold.
So I say....would you like me to heat it up for you?
Yes please
I heat it up and set it before him..
I look.........nope still not eating.
Dad....are you going to eat your pancakes?
And he says....I would like some jelly on them.
Ok so I put the jelly on them....his favorite.
I look.....
still not taken one bite and the coffee has not been drank either.
Dad? You aren't going to eat your pancakes are you?
He smiles and says....probably not.
He took 0 bites of the pancakes.
Lady comes by that cleans the house....brings him some jello...He eats all of it....
I am trying :) Hopefully his appetite will pick up soon.

MOM
I have talked to Mom on and off all last night and today. She is in the hospital for awhile I think. They are having to get her cuminum (SP?) level right before they do surgury because the medicine she is taking for her cancer makes the blood thin. She could bleed to death if they don't get it right.
Last report was that they have been giving her blood and plasma to remedy this. She might be having surgury tomorrow morning. They will be doing a blood test first to see.
I will let you know as things happen.
She is in good spirits...I am alot like her....she is still laughing and joking around with the doctors and nurses....that's my Mom.
Dad is missing her so much.....I am glad I am with him this weekend. It has given us time to talk.
It has been kinda funny too...I will tell you about jello, McDonalds and television next.
It is late and I have a big day tomorrow so I will be back soon to tell you about this.
Love to all and please forgive me for not answering each comment separately.. My parents have dial up and it takes forever to load pages....I am so spoiled with mine...
I have read every single and wonderful comment made so far and each and every word gives me the strength to move forward. So please know that I appreciate each and every one of you. SO MUCH! xoxBarb
KEEPING YOU POSTED
Id like to start by saying Thanks so much for all of your kind words and prayers. I am so in awe of all of my friends here who have shown such kindness to me and my family.
Like my journal says. God will see me through and will not give me more than I can handle.
It has been a whirlwind ever since this all started.
I was on my way out the door to go to work when I received that dreaded phone call.
I spent the morning packing and getting ready for a visit with my Dad as Mom went to the hospital.
I called him and he wanted me to pick up some Sea Island shrimp for dinner.
No problem....um yeah....It is the first Friday of Lent and everyone and their dog was there picking up seafood. The line was out the door.
Dad said he wanted Senior Shrimp...so luckily I thought to call him before ordering and asked him if he wanted that grilled or fried.
Oh grilled honey he said....I can not eat fried.
Oh K so I go to order and the girl asks me.....lemon pepper or spicy?
Gee I didn't ask him that.....I said I guess lemon pepper....
I pay and get my waiting ticket and think.....I better call and make sure he can eat lemon pepper...
Dad....can you eat lemon pepper shrimp?
Oh No! He says...I don't like that kind just get plain....
I say ok welll
He interrupts me....let me talk to the girl, we go there all the time and she knows me....tell her it is for Bob....
I look around and see millions of hungry angry impatient people waiting to give their order and pick it up....
DadI say ....they are really busy I will just tell her to make it plain...
Dad says.....no let me talk to her....she knows me....
I finally convinced him that it wasn't a great idea to make all the hungry impatient people angry by stopping the whole show and asking the girl to talk to my Dad on the phone about how he wanted his shrimp....
I waited one and a half hours after I ordered the food for it to be ready....u read it right the first time....then she didn't give me the cole slaw....Dad loves him some cole slaw....I went back in and she told me that it would be a fifteen minute wait.....I said,,,,you are kidding right?
She kinda huffed and said....just a minute I'll go get it....
Um thanks.
Then I got it home to him...he ate a couple shrimp, half a small corn cob and .....you guessed it....didn't even take one bite of the cole slaw and decided he was full.....
Could I put it in the fridge....he would eat it later....it's still there....all of it....
Next up McDonalds story.

WE ALL NEED SOME BRILLO
AS ALOT OF YOU KNOW I LIKE TO SING...WHEN I AM SAD I SING. WHEN I AM HAPPY I SING....SHOOT I EVEN SING IN MY SLEEP.

ANYWAY. ONE OF MY SINGING FRIENDS SANG A SONG TO CHEER ME UP TODAY SO I SANG WITH HIM.

GOD HAS BLESSED ME WITH THEIR FRIENDSHIP.
HERE IS THE SONG THAT BRILLO SANG WITH ME
http://www.singsnap.com/snap/r/bd119f0d3
WE ALL NEED A LITTLE BRILLO :) XOXBARB
AND SO THE STORY GOES.....
I was on my way out the door today when I got a phone call. It was a friend of my parents. She told me that last night my Mom (who has cancer) fell and broke her hip.
Dad just got out of the hospital because three days before Christmas he fell and broke 4 ribs.
I am so upset. I have to be the cheerful one. Kinda hard when all I want to do is just scream and cry.
I called Mom at the hospital and she said that she was in good hands and that I should go to my Dads side.
He told me he was fine and I should go to my Moms side.
Wishing I was two people here.....
I had to call in to work. I can't stop crying.
There is more to this story but being as it is a public journal I do not want to disclose another piece of the puzzle.
Let's just say I am in it alone.
I don't know what to do.
I am going to go to my Dad this evening and spend the night.
I could go to work, but I know one little thing will be said about it and I will start crying again.....not a pretty sight.
So for now I am just going to be here waiting to hear any news and then I will be going to town to help Dad.
Please keep them both in your prayers.
Thank you for being here for me.

Rick is having an affair?
We are just waiting for someone to see us together and start the rumor n town that Rick was seen with a brunette LOL
You know how small towns are.
Of course he isn't .....he knows better LOL
update
Well as some of you may know I have had to postpone Christmas with my side of the family.
My Dad fell and broke four ribs three days before Christmas and had to go to the hospital. He was in a rehabilitation center for two months recovering. This left my Mom home alone and as some of you may know she has cancer and is going through treatments.
I thank God for her neighbors and church friends who have been there to help out.
My little niece Brittany is an angel herself. She goes over to help on the weekends also.
Anyway....
We celebrated last night.
My Dad has never liked my hair being blonde. He said all he wanted for Christmas was for me to dye my hair back to it's original color. I have been blonde for over 10 years.
I woke up yesterday and decided that I could do this for him.
I still do not recognize myself in the mirror. I guess I will get use to it....Rick said it makes me look younger.
I am still not sure....wonder what the reaction will be tomorrow at work....
Daddy loved it. He said....I have my little girl back.
I never left.
But I know what he means.
I guess we all want the best for our kids.
Anyway.....if I just can't take it I will just dye it back.
Going to leave it for now.
We had a nice visit with Mom and Dad.
My older sister and her family came and I got to meet my nieces boyfriend.
I like him. He is a very nice sweet young man.
My little sisters husband and kids came too.
We had a nice time.
Eric didn't get to come.
He was working
Did I tell you Eric got a new job? Now he has two.
He will be moving into a new house soon also with a couple of friends.
I can't wait to see the house.,
I wonder if he knows when you have your own house someone has to mow the lawn :)
Ok I am off to clean and do my taxes now.....
Have a great weekend.
