You know the saying April showers bring May flowers. Wellā¦there has been many showers, but itās not the same exact type of showers you would think. This month hasnāt started off that great.
April 2nd, my Oakley (my dog) passed away. Not sure if he ate a toad and it poisoned him or if he went down the road and got into some poison but it wasnāt a easy death. Still miss him even though he used to fight with his brother Bear. And poor Bear still whines for him and looks for him to come chasing after him.
April 7th, my grandma (momās mom) passed away in her sleep. My grandma suffered from Alzheimerās and didnāt remember a lot of us. But my grandma was one of my heroās. My grandma used to give me advice such as: donāt marry a guy until you live with him first, that way you know what itās like to be around him constantly. I definitely took her advice. Memories of watching Shirley Temple movies, popping popcorn and drinking a coke, her making Mexican rice for dinner, drinking her coffee when I was a young child, and her either making us peanut butter and jelly sandwiches or sliced apples with cinnamon. My grandma lived a good life, all the stories she used to share and the places she went thanks to my grandpa being in the Air Force. Sure do miss you though grandma!
April 25th, (Today)ā¦my uncle Kenny (my momās brother) passed away. We arenāt sure if it was the cancer that got to him or if it was the ācongested heart failureā that the doctor said he would probably pass away from first before the cancer. The heartbreaking part, none of us were expecting it to be this soon because we just saw him and spent time with him this past Sunday. We were all hoping he would make it through and heal. But the Lord healed him. He took him to be with him and to watch over my cousins. Even though itās going to be rough on my two cousins who were taking care of him, he loved all three of his girls dearly. Even if he fussed at the middle and youngest one. He knew what was best for his girls and sometimes they were just too hardheaded to listen. But what child isnāt hardheaded. For my cousin Lace, she was the only one in the house when he passed. That was her biggest fear was finding him. Itās going to be really tough on her because she was the one who was mainly living with him and taking care of him even though she had to work. I will say, I am going to miss his life lessons and his encouraging words on how to be better people and how we can better our lives.
They say time heals all wounds. But how long is it going to take?
I pray that we can get through this together as a whole family and that nothing else comes our way. Cause Iām pretty sure none of us can take anymore pain and hurt. This month has been painful for my family. And even though you may not know me at all, a small prayer for my family would be appreciated.
