a good day gone bad
|
a good day gone bad so today I was in my normal chatroom while there were a couple of folks that I chat with stating how they can't live a normal life or even leave the house when they want because of taking care of their parents it upset me sooooo much because I choose to share how my lil 21 yr old brother had a massive stroke a few years ago and was confined to a wheelchair once he came outta his coma......he had to have 24 assistance what family I still had then - that I've since lost - and I took turns taking care of him.....after a couple of years we were sooooo worn out from it eventually he was able to sit up in wheelchair and wanted to come home to my dads house to live.....so we hired a young girl...I say young she was about the same age as my brother to be a part time caregiver so we could go shopping...out to eat....just to breathe.... well on the way home one day a police car stopped me from getting any closer to the home....my dad owned a junk yard and his house was at the back of the property.. a fire had started...no one ever figured out how a 911 call was placed from inside the home..... they cdn't get out....cars were blowing up from the fire...the fire itself didn't completely end or the embers didn't quit burning for days... we lost my lil brother and his caretake in that fire I know how it is to be responsible for taking care of a loved one I know the sacrifices that go into it I also know that if u pray and u try hard enough there are always options...maybe not the best....not what u wanted...u may hafta compromise but there are always options I sit here crying like a baby because just thinking about all the details brings back all the old hurts There isn't a day that goes bye that I don't think of the loss of my: lil brother my dad my mother my best friend With my illness I know I hafta struggle to stay upbeat so that I can go on day by day I don't hang out with folks that I know that are people who give up or complain all the time life is wayyyy to short not to make the best of the time we have with that I've said enuff |
