As some of you may know, but most of you may not, it’s been a pretty rough year for me. I’ve had 5 family members land in the hospital. 3 of them for very serious things. One of them, my grandmother, Betty, who suffered a fall didn’t make it. My father was hospitalized for over a month and couldn’t even go to his own mother’s funeral. My mother was diagnosed with endometrial cancer not long after, and only told me the day before her hysterectomy. I’ve been involved in 2 car accidents due to the stupidity of others. I became violently ill due to stress on Halloween from my sister suffering an embolism. I had to stay behind on Thanksgiving to look after her since she was still too ill to travel. My Thanksgiving dinner consisted of Taco Bell. I was just happy she was still around for me to spend it with. Others close to me have suffered their own tragedies. I’ve been through 3 different antidepressants. Things at work have been pretty stressful as well. But not once did I complain. Quite the opposite.
