Re just thought I would let you know that De is making her presence known everywhere. Me, Dad, Mom and Stacey took the kids to the lake out here in Kentucky today and there was 2 beautiful blue dragonflies that came around us as soon as we got there. She was so gracious to greet our arrival at the lake and then again as we took the kids into the water. — with Re Phoenix Haywood.
The latest cartoon daddy cut out for me giggle. He said only person he ever seen to have more bands than me
I just want to say I am blessed to have the family and friends I do! The blessings and gifts of support and kindness since the accident have been beautiful. Far and near each of you are appreciated! Just a simple text, call, or hug can change my day so if you ever stop and think... I wonder if I should text Re... Call Re... Ask Re to do xxxx please do! While I may not answer immediately or not be able to attend it is the thought behind it that is what matters the most to me. Never think of it as bothering me... I am a big girl I can say no and not answer when needed so I promise you. You my friends and family are never bothering me! God is good!
I see...an amazing person doing the best she can! Those of us who have not experienced the horrific experiences you have; should not be judging AT ALL!!!! Please know Re there is no right way or wrong way to go/get through this. You have to do what you feel is right for you!!! I love you! Xoxoxo
to have Drake... the kid is not who he used to be either, Mr. I want to hang out in my room and be left alone will now talk your ear off, unfortunately, sometimes to the point of annoyance and jibberish as we can't figure out exactly what he is talking about.. but he also is the little rock that comes and tries to get me off the sofa and into bed at night. Around midnight every night.. I hear "Mom... come on lets go to bed." Usually followed by a mumble or me sitting up and going.. if the mumble happens he knows I am not going anywhere... Last night I remember through my sleepy haze what happened after the mumble from me... a sigh from Drake, the tv going off, me being covered with my blankie, a kiss on the cheek, followed by a whispered I love you.... such a beautiful act that breaks my heart at the same time .. when did my 15 year old have to become the parent. — feeling blessed.
My expectations of understanding from people may be set to high... But if you expect more from me than breathing and just the simple act of trying to move forward through day to day tasks I think you are expecting too much from me. No I don't go out, no I don't go to parties, no I don't go to others homes, I spend my time with four people for the majority of my time. I need to be where I feel safe... Those are very few places. On the beach... It's home... If you want to see me and spend time with me I am more than grateful to open my home and have you there... I am just not ready for much else. There have been strides forward and set backs but I am still standing. I love you all but I needed to say this so you can understand a tiny bit of why no one sees me out and about much. It isn't because I don't love you. It's just that I am not ready.
