Background information: when I was adopted, yes I'm adopted, I got a new older sister and brother. My sister has married her high school boyfriend a couple years ago. Her husband, Reggie, is in the army. They moved to a base in Georgia and have been living there since. Emily has come to visit a couple times, but I don't see her much anymore. When she come's back to Maine, she visits with our mom more than anyone else. It's always when I'm in school, and let's face it, I'm not going to skip school even though I love her.
A few weeks ago, I found out that the doctors suspected that she might have MS. I didn't know how to react to the news. I talking to my mom, and she told me that Emily went to a neurologist. She went because at one point her right hand had gone numb or something. The point was that she couldn't use her right hand so she learned how to eat with her left hand. She had also lost feeling in her one of her legs or foot, so she started walking like a zombie. I nervously giggled at this, but its not really funny.
Yesterday, my parents told me that its been confirmed that she has the disease. I'm sad about that, and I wish I could see her and give her a hug. She's supposed to come to my graduation and graduation/birthday party. She's only going to come if she's feeling okay though. I'm super excited for her to come. I also learned that she's trying to have kids. That could be nice. I think I would like her kids better than others because I won't have to see them very often. That way, they can't annoy me everyday. :) Just saying.
Sorry Sam. I didn't know her personally but I'm sure she's sweet like you. Thanks for sharing this part of your story. What made you think of this this morning? I'm sure it's on your mind a lot.
ReplyDeleteAnd you really don't like small children do you? Why?!!!
I read Jordan's post about her grandmother's alzheimer's and I just kind of veered my thoughts about Emily. She's can be really mean a lot of the time, but she has her moments when she's super nice.
ReplyDeleteI'm not exactly sure of why I don't like small children, but it's really more like babies. I think that they're smelly, obnoxiously loud, and take up too much space with their toys. I don't mind kids once they can speak well enough for me to understand them, and when they don't require constant attention. So about age 4 or 5, I'm okay with them.
Ah, that explains it. I was just reading Jordy's post. I can see how you made that connection. It is hard to watch someone you love struggle against something you can't control. :(
DeleteAs for the small chilluns, it's easier when you birth them, though I don't recommend it. :)
I can assure you that I wont be birthing any kids anytime soon. It's not in my future plans right now. :)
