I am in Philadelphia. I left Wednesday morning around 6:00am. My uncle and my Gram ended up meeting us in Manchester and were on our flight. The flight was uneventful. I got caught up on everything. It's funny how facts aren't really facts when you live so far away. They were very misunderstood. So for those of you who want to know what really happened, here we go.

My Aunt Anita was heading home from dropping my Uncle Jimmy and cousin Ashley off at the airport the day after her father's funeral. On the way home she was stopped for a redlight and got rearended by a dump truck. She was the first person at the redlight so no one else was hurt. The road was a steady decline to the light so the dump truck was going roughly 45 mph.

She did break her neck but by the time we got down her yesterday she was in surgery getting vertebrae 1-4 fused together. This will prevent any further damage. She won't be able to move her neck though. She is in the low 5% on being able to ever move again. But considering she was in that 5% last week for even surviving, that seems pretty good.

Luckily she seems to be comprhending everything that's going on. I said, "hey aunt anita, i love you!" and she opened her eyes and looked at me. Everytime one of the family member's said her name, she opened her eyes. That's a very good sign! Today she also tried to take a breath, and she swallowed. Right now she is on a venitalor, which is keeping her alive, so her trying to do that stuff herself is a huge step.

All I have to say is that's to everyone that sent her good vibes. It's amazing, and i never thought it would happen but she seems to be doing well. Anything could happen, she is still very critical but...the small signs is what is helping us move forward with hope.

She is a beautiful person...

Keep those thoughts coming people!!!

Not to bring everyone down but...

My Aunt Anita is dying. She was driving home from the airport and a tractor trailer truck collided with her Volvo.

If you believe in God...please...

If you don't, just send her happy vibes or something!

And people wonder why I don't believe in God. Here's your answer.



I love you nita...

Coughing my lungs up...
Puking my brains out...
When will it all end?

All I can say is, I have a very intimate relationship with my toilet at this moment:)

As a side note. I don't know how many of you know that I used to live in Vermont. Well, I did. When I lived there I had a best friend named Megan Campbell. She was excellent!! I have made it my goal this year to find her. She moved away from Brattleboro after her father passed away and I haven't been able to find her since. I know my friends from Maine probably won't be able to help..but maybe someone in that vast internet world could muster up some advice?

I feel peaceful today. Happy Mother's Day to all you lucky moms out there.

It's the feeling like you're oh so glad you came.
And it's the moment you remember you're alive..."

I made a decision but I'm not comfortable telling everyone. I seem to be judged on every move I make! So for a little while I'm keeping quiet and seeing how that works out. My best friends know so if you can squeeze it out of them,feel free. I'm happy with my decision though and I am excited for the year ahead!

I just picked up another job, coaching the waterville girls travel soccer team. It's the little ones...5-6 year olds. It's wicked fun:)

All I got for now.
