Man it's been awhile since I've wrote.. written.. whatev



Tues. is officially my first day back to work.. Some people are probably thinking.. man that sucks.. actually I'm very excited! Katie being an 8th is crazy to me. I remember her being in 4th grade and learning to understand her speech problems.. Learning to understand her.. now I'm helping others know what she's saying.. poor thing gets so frustrated when people can't understand her. I'm her parrot I should say. ;0) Also I learned some very sad and heart breaking news yesterday. My Mom's neighbor Miss Kayla is 14 and weigh's 88 lbs. and is on oxygen full time. She has down syndrome and on her 3rd or 4th pace maker and her little heart is so weak. I was suppose to babysit her and her two brothers before I went back to work but it didn't work out. I talked to her Mom yesterday and Kayla wants me to come hang out with her. So her Mom wanted to know my schedule. I'm nervous to get a call from her because I'm not sure I will be able to control my emotions when I see my Kayla.. I've know Kayla and her family since Kayla was about 3 or 4. I took care of her and her brothers.. Her brothers when they were born till now. The boys are 11 and 8 now. It's awesome to watch them grow. Kayla is one of the reason for the work that I do.. The reason and passion I have with children and adults with mental or physical disabilities... because of her. Aw man it's hard to write this.. I will continue to love and enjoy my job knowing I'm making a huge difference in one person's life. Hang in there Kayla I love you and when the Lord calls you home don't be afraid.. I love you..
