One of the GREATEST Men..

Today is one of the saddest days of my life. Really, any day you lose someone you love is sad reguardless of family ties or friendship. But this man, he was more than an uncle. He was always there for my family and especially there for my mom and me when we were going through really hard times. It’s kinda sad that the good people are always the ones to die first but those who remain cold and bitter always survive.

Today at 7:15 AM, my Uncle Robert Hyde passed away.  He knew he was loved and he knew that he was surrounded by people he loved. I just hope that others that knew of him will remember him for all the good things he did for people because if you ever needed something, he always tried to help. I love you Uncle Robert and thanks for showing me that real men DO exist even though I never told you that you showed me that because that’d be a little awkward on my part and I’m not good with words. In my life I haven’t had that many positive male figures but you broke the mold by how you treated people and how much you loved my aunt and your kids! I know one day, we’ll all get to see you again!

Tis the Season

Hey everyone! Well, it’s almost Christmas and I am finally starting to get into the holiday spirit. This weekend we’re putting up our Christmas tree and tomorrow morning my mom and I are going shopping early in the morning for presents. I love Christmas. It is hands down my favorite season! So what do ya’ll like about Christmas?

Speaking of holiday things, I need to get my Christmas cards and get them mailed off. I love sending and receiving Christmas cards! So if you would like a card from me, please e-mail misskatexNO@SPAMgmail.com (remove the NO SPAM, obviously) and I’ll add you to my card list. I’m sending out cards on Monday so they’ll be early this year! So e-mail me and ye sha’ll receive!

Well, that’s really all for now. I just wanted to drop a quick blogaroo to say hey!

December Already?

Wow, can you believe that it is already December 4th?? It blows my mind how fast time passes by. This past few week my cousin Jo died. It was really sad because she has been fighting Leukemia for only a few months and she got really bad really quick. Actually, alot of my family members are doing bad. But back to Jo, at the funeral home, she looked so different. I’ve never seen Jo in makeup and I was wondering where was her hat and her boots. She always loved hats and hiking boots. She was never a big dresser upper either so seeing her that way was weird.

Another sad thing in my family is my Uncle Robert. He has terminal cancer. I haven’t seen him because I had the flu recently and my mom hasn’t gone back over there so neither have I. I really do want to see him but part of me is scared. I’m scared to see people before they die because for some reason, the picture of them sick and suffering gets implanted in my brain instead of the real way I want to remember them. Like when I think of my grandma, I see her sick in the hospital bed looking like Granny Jones and it scares me. For some reason, people in my family start talking all weird .. like they are having an out of body experience and been planted back in their childhood before they die. It scares me and when I heard my grandma speak that way, I tore into pieces.

Along with my family, I’ve had some health problems as well. I have a thyroid problem which inhibits me from losing weight. I was put on medicine when I was 14 for it and about a year and a half ago, this doctor took me off of it. Well, I’ve stopped going to that doctor and since I’ve been feeling so ill lately, my mom took me to another doctor. That doctor pricked my finger to check my TSH and it was a level 6. That’s really abnormal and told me I needed to go on medicine at once. It causes me to have no energy and starts eating away at muscles and since the heart is a muscle it can be deadly if left untreated. So I’m back on medicine and the new year it’s time to start working out again since now I will be able to lose. My brother’s girlfriend’s twin got her thyroid level fixed/corrected and dropped about 100 pounds! Holy shit … skinny Kate here I come! Lol. Well maybe not skinny minny but skinnier Kate .. since I just wanna lose pounds to be in the healthy yet curvy range. Haha.

Well, enough from me. It’s time to hit the hay after I take my medicines since I’m tired. *yawn*
