Okay, so this is a small giveaway to the first ten people who respond here.
Now for the backstory:
Last February, my life turned upside down in the most horrific way. I was eating my lunch and my mom called which wasn't unusual, we had a close relationship. Little did I know, this would be the last time that I ever spoke with my mom. I chatted and then asked her for a little favor.
She said goodbye and I love you; and as I was hanging up I heard a male voice saying something obscene but I dismissed it due to the area she lived in.
That night I hadn't heard from her, so I figured maybe she was at chorus practice, or something and to wait till morning. Morning came and no response, so I fathomed she forgot to charge her phone. Hours passed and still no reply. I started to worry. I couldn't eat. I called her apartment to have them check on her, called local hospitals. It was then upon coming home from running errands that I got the horrible phone call. Sorry, tears welling up as I write this as it is hard but I need to tell my story in hopes that anyone who is going through this, you get help quickly, don't wait till it's to late. Getting back to the story, I answered the phone hoping it was mom or the apartment place, but sadly, it was a detective telling me that my mom had been murdered. Shot to death. I cannot tell you how that made my heart break, it's still breaking in two to this day.
Fast forward to June, when I met Cynnagirl in person (my real life best friend). My husband and Family were on a much needed break from everything, but yet, Husband was feeling off.
We'd pass the Fourth of July when the next day, he fainted in the shower. I told him, "We're going to the hospital". Thinking that it was probably just H-pylori or a bleeding ulcer, We went to the ER, thinking, that it was not anything majorly bad, like I mentioned Maybe a bleeding Ulcer. But, that was not the case. They ordered a Endoscope for the next day on him and admitted him to the hospital. I was like thinking Oh, it's probably because you been having blood in your stools, so maybe it's a precaution.
The next day, the test results came back and the news that shook me to the core, Cancer.
My husband has stage 4 stomach cancer. I have been trying to provide for my family on my salary. It's not been easy. Lots of heartache, lots of tears, lots of going to foodbanks, go fund me's, finding out my true friends, and learning who I can and cannot trust.
Sadly, I am not the same person I was two years ago, I am not even the same person I was 1 year ago.
writing all this, I am in tears, because I would give anything to have my old life back. Or a hug.
Edited to add, the cat Debra in game, is a trbute to my mom, designed by me.
