Catching up, old friend 💖

 I haven't wrote anything on here in so long! I still love to write! Mostly I send it to my email and then edit it on my laptop. What else is new?

Kevin graduated high school! Jim, James, Emma, and I saw him in person! My mom watched through zoom. It definitely was a day filled with tears and high emotions. I know Kevin didn't understand, but I told him every parent looks forward to certain things; seeing their child graduate is definitely one of them! He has come so far and I couldn't be more proud!


James has completed 4th grade! One more year of elementary school 😱 It's crazy to think about! One kid graduated from school and the other is almost ready to start middle school! 😱


Jim just turned 40. He was sad/upset about it, but it's just a number. He's quite remarkable! We moved up here because Florida wasn't going to promote him without a college degree, well guess what?! He's the manager now and he still doesn't have a college degree! I have a bachelor's degree in psychology and he makes more money than I do!


Kevin said he's not interested in going to college. A lot of people with college degrees don't use them. Yep. Smart teenager. I don't use mine and I'm still paying off college loans! *sad sigh*

I have been at my job for two years now. Still love it! Still thankful for my coworkers and my loved ones. I don't think it's my forever job, but only time will tell.

I still talk to my family almost every day. My nephews have also graduated high school. My niece will be graduating next year.


Kennedy and Oliver both work in Orlando as dancers at the theme parks. They're following their dreams and their passion 💖

Brian moved out of our parent's house and now lives with our brother in Texas. He's still Brian. I talk to him occasionally, but many family members don't. I still have no contact with Jonathan. Last I heard he has "forgiven us". Ummm, we didn't do anything wrong! *frustrated sigh*

Megan Trainor released a song called "Bad For Me". I used to play it on repeat and cry. It really makes me think of Jonathan. I know I did the right thing by cutting him off, but I still grieve for the relationship and the person he was.

I'm still healing from my past trauma. My seizure meds have been increased the past 2 years. It's still scary, but so far the new dose is working fine. I don't know what else to say...

Some days are hard but they're few and far between. For the most part I'm loving life and still feel blessed for my family and the loved ones I have. I'm grateful and I appreciate all of them! It's because of them that I'm here! On my difficult days I watch things to make me laugh and I talk to Jimbo or Emma. They usually calm me down 😊 Sometimes I include Kevin in what's going on. He's a young adult now and I appreciate the relationship we have! I love him and James so much! They both complete my heart 💖 They are what gives my life meaning! 💖


Anyway, so that's the Panko's. 💖
