11 YEARS AGO TOMORROW I MARRIED MY BEST FRIEND. I CAN'T BELIEVE IT HAS BEEN 11 YEARS. BOY TIME IS PASSING US BY... I REMEMBER THE FIRST DAY I MET HIM, HIS GREENISH, BLUE EYES AND HIS WOW WEEEEEE CHEST... OH LORD, I REMEMBER THINKING WOW!!!!! LOL. HE WAS SO SWEET AND CARING AND STILL IS TO THIS DAY. HE WON ME OVER FROM DAY ONE. HE ASK ME TO MARRY HIM WITH ALL THE POOH BEAR CHARACTERS AND HAD MY RING IN POOHS SLEEVE. HE KEPT KISSING MY FOREHEAD B/C HE WAS SO NERVOUS. I REMEMBER OUR WEDDING DAY LIKE IT WAS YESTERDAY... AFTER OUR WEDDING WE STARTED OUR FAMILY VERY QUICK. 9 MONTHS AFTER WE WERE MARRIED I WAS EXPECTING MY FIRST CHILD WITH GREG. HE WAS A WONDERFUL FATHER BEFORE SHE WAS EVEN HERE. HE WOULD TALK TO TRINITY IN MY STOMACH... I REMEMBER THE DAY SHE WAS BORN AND HOW SCARED WE WERE B/C SHE WAS SO LITTLE. WE HAD NO IDEA SHE HAD CF AT THE TIME B/C NO TESTING WAS DONE.. HERE WE COME HOME WITH THIS LITTLE GIRL WHO WAS HAVING SUCH A ROUGH TIME EATING. IT TOOK ALMOST 3 MONTHS TO FIND OUT THE NEWS THAT ROCKED OUR WORLD TO THE CORE. YOUR CHILD HAS CYSTIC FIBROSIS. WE WERE DEVASTATED. I REMEMBER THE DOCTORS SAYING THAT FAMILIES WITH MEDICAL ISSUES, HAVE PROBLEMS AND SOMETIMES RESULT IN DIVORCE. NOT US... WE HAD OUR BREAKDOWN AND CAME HOME AND KICKED ASS ON TAKING CARE OF OUR PRECIOUS GIFT FROM GOD.
NEXT CAME PYPER 4 1/2 YEARS LATER. ANOTHER LITTLE GIFT FROM GOD. WHEN SHE WAS BORN SHE WASNT CRYING B/C SHE WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH HER LUNGS B/C SHE WAS BORN AT 36 WEEKS. WE FOUND OUT SHE HAD CF AT 6 DAYS OLD. WE WERE UPSET BUT WE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HAD TO BE DONE AND WE DID IT. AFTER WE BROUGHT HER HOME WE DECIDED THAT I NEEDED TO STAY HOME B/C IT WOULD BE TO MUCH ON MY MOTHER IN LAW TO TAKE CARE OF TWO WITH CF. SO HERE WE ARE LIVING OUR LIFE AND LOVING EVERY MINUTE OF IT. WE ARE BROKE, AND IN DEBT UP TO OUR EYEBALLS AND WOULD WE CHANGE ANYTHING: ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! PRAYING ONE DAY WE GET OUT OF DEBT AND CAN HAVE A LESS STRESSFUL LIFE BUT FOR NOW, WE HAVE TO DO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO FOR OUR GIRLS. THANK YOU GOD FOR MY BLESSINGS: GREG MY WONDERFUL HUBBY WHO IS A AMAZING MAN AND AMAZING FATHER, MY GIRLS: GOD GAVE ME BOTH OF YOU TO TAKE CARE OF AND I WILL NEVER STOP FIGHTING FOR EITHER OF YOU. BOY DID GOD KNOW WHAT HE WAS DOING WHEN HE PUT YOU WITH ME. I AM A MEAN MOMMA AND DONT MESS WITH MY BABIES.
TRINITY AND PYPER ARE DOING OK. TRINITY HAS STARTED GROWTH HORMONE SHOTS AND MAY BE PUT ON A GTUBE IN DECEMBER IF WE CANT GET HER WEIGHT UP, AND PYPER IS DOING OK WITH HER TYPE 1 DIABETES AND INSULIN PUMP. I HAVE SAID IT BEFORE I HAVE TWO TOUGH LITTLE GIRLS. WHEN PEOPLE SAY TO ME: GOD DOESNT GIVE YOU MORE THAN YOU CAN HANDLE. I NOW UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT MEANS. HE HAS GIVEN ME SO MUCH AND I KNOW I CAN HANDLE SO MUCH MORE. WHEN IT COMES TO MY FAMILY: I GOT THIS IN THE BAG.. I AM STRESSED TO THE MAX AND SOMETIMES FEEL LIKE I AM GOING TO LOSE IT BUT I HAVE TO REAL MYSELF BACK IN AND I AM READY TO GO AGAIN.
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TOMORROW TO MY HUBBY OF 11 YEARS. I CAN'T WAIT TO SPEND 11 MORE WITH YOU. WE ARE GETTING OLD BUT BABY YOU ARE GETTING BETTER AND BETTER. I LOVE YOU GG TURNER LIKE CRAZY BANANAS AND THANK YOU FOR MY TWO BLESSINGS. GOD PUT US TOGETHER FOR A REASON AND I KNOW NOW THAT REASON WAS B/C WE CAN HANDLE THIS AND SO MUCH MORE. HE KNEW WE WOULD BE UNBELIEVABLE PARENTS AND WOULD TAKE CARE OF OUR GIRLS NO MATTER WHAT IT MEANT.
MARTIE
