Starting again

About 5 years ago I started a blog and then lost it. I have no idea where it went. I tried the couple of email addresses I have and was never able to find it.

Since that time I have been reading my friends and others blogs and keep telling myself that one day I will just start over. Then I start and think what do I really do that would interesting enough to write down? I am still not sure, but I have to start somewhere.

My daughter graduated high school this past June, she had a pretty hard time the last couple of years. Her junior year was plagued by illnesses and trips to the doctors and urgent care. Finding many urinary, and pelvic infections. Sinus infections, bronchitis, allergies to Motrin and aspirin, just to name a very few. Throughout this she learned a lot from the radiologists and techs that were working with her. She now wants to get into that career. Illness wasn't the only set back she lost both a cousin (that was one of her best friends growing up) and a boyfriend due to overdoses. This now is making her stronger in wanting to help others. It has been and will be a struggle for all of us. This also has made her angry and we are working with her on that. How can you not be angry when someone you love does something so stupid? And they are not there to be angry with?

HI Anita, nice to meet you! I just started blogging too about a year ago, but there was a time when I stopped. Matt and his dad lost their jobs and it was a horrible time for us all.
About your daughter.....sometimes anger is not anger at all..it is fear. The best you can do is support her, love her and encourage her. The bad times can actually be a time of grace. The only thing is you don't know it until it is over. The fact that she wants to help people is a good sign. I hope she continues and follows her dreams.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. Hope to hear from you again.

Oh, and Matteo was not in the pool that time!
