Enchanted Village
So today Jordan's Furniture in Avon held a special event for children with Down Syndrome. It was amazing! We got to tour the Enchanted Village as 'snow' fell from the ceiling. Then we got to see Sean sit on Santa's lap and recieve a gift! It was so adorable i wanted to cry. The people there were actually laughing at my family and i for taking so many pictures. They said we looked like paparazzi! We also got to go on the MOM ride and see a laser show. They had free food and drinks. It was really nice. But the most amazing part was seeing Sean get to interact with other children like him. There was a group of kids between 4-6. They all wanted to see Sean so bad because he was a baby. They were so extremely adorable. They were rubbing his back and petting his head! I just loved seeing the other families and children. It really mad my heart melt. I love when i can spend time with my family!

The annulment
So according to the Catholic Church, i am not divorced. I need to obtain a an annulment through the church. Which would possibly take 12-18months and cost $750 and they can still say no. But after much consideration we have decided to proceed with this process. This consists of asking me over 50 questions about my life growing up Shaine's life growing up and our marriage together. It was sort of ridiculous of what they ask. But i did it. It took me three hours and i wrote 18 pages. Its finally done. The pastor told me this was the fastest petition he has ever done. That's right. I get my stuff done and i am efficient. I want this annulment now so i can plan my wedding and get on with my life!!!!
The last question on the form i had to answer was " why do you think this marriage failed"?
This is what i wrote :
I think this marriage failed because we got together at a very young age, I was only 20 and Shaine was 19, still a teenager. We had no idea at this age what a marriage was and how it is supposed to be. We thought we knew what we were doing. We didn't get to know each other as adults. We didn't have our goals straight. We had no idea who each other were, let alone ourselves. We thought that love was enough and it just isn't Marriage is about building a relationship with the one you love. Knowing how to love, knowing what you want out of life and finding someone you want to share that life with and maybe even procreate. Marriage is about a lot more than teenagers falling in love on a school bus in high school. It is about responsibility, respect, caring, love, friendship and most of all commitment. As I grew up and learned about the world I also learned about what a relationship is supposed to be. Now that I know who I am and what I want to do, I know that I can be with the person who is right for me. The person who will undoubtedly be the support above all others. The person I can grow with and love and finally make the commitment in front of God with and know that it is the person I am meant to be with and make a difference with.

*The proposal*
John took me to dinner at Lucia's in the north end. Which wasn't too out of the ordinary since we do this occasionally. When we got to the restaurant is was really hot. The air conditioner was broken so they had the windows open and the fans on. But there were so many people in there it didn't matter. At one point Johns face got really red and i asked him if he was gonna pass out. He said no.Instead he expressed his love for me and then proceeded on one knee and proposed marriage. My immediate reaction was to out my hands to my face and cry! I said yes and he put the ring on my finger!!!! I couldn't believe it. I was a little suspicious but i wasn't positive. Everyone in the place starting clapping and we all cheers'ed our drinks!!! We got a bottle of champagne on the house and people bought us drinks!!! Then John told me we were going on a horse and carriage ride later that evening at 10pm. I have always wanted to do this!!! The weather was amazing and it was the most perfect night ever!
Bouncing between stages two and three....
I haven't told anyone yet, but i'm not coping well with the deaths of my uncle and aunt. It's weird to have two deaths at the same time and very painful. I am at different stages for each death. It's hard to cope with that. Neither death is easy for me to handle, however with my uncle, i knew it was coming soon and i tried to prepare myself the best i could. I just didn't prepare myself for what would happen after he was actually gone, but with my aunt, it was like i was just starting to accept Ricky being gone and carol was even helping me cope with that. I was just starting to try and move on and deal with getting things back on track and then suddenly, she passed. Tragically. The unbearable pain i felt when i got that call. I can't even explain the pain i physically felt, i imagine it being the same as being hit by a bus. I literally was gasping for air and clenching at my stomach. I could feel the vomit erupting from my mouth quickly. The screaming and hugging i did to john. If he wasn't there i don't know what i would have done. He didn't even know what was happening but he did all the right things. I remember dropping my phone on the bed and hearing my dad call out my name asking if i was okay. I literally crawled to the bathroom in hysterics. John picked up the phone and spoke to my father.
I am still in the early stages of grief. I am in denial, i am in pain, i am guilty for what happened and the bargaining is happening everyday. With Ricky, i feel like i am in denial that he is not here anymore. I know once the holidays come around is when i will really be able to face this. Right now its just like he is still sick and fighting for his life. Even though i know that's not true, that the way i deal with it.
With carol its different. I saw her way more frequently so i know she is gone i cannot deny it. But the pain and guilt is still there and the bargaining is coming on. I feel like there is something i could of done about it. I also feel like i jinxed her. I know it seems ridiculous to others but i know i did it. This is the second time i bought tickets to something extra ahead of time and someone has died. The first time, i bought movie tickets days early to go see "Avatar" with John. Then his dad passed away days before. I had NEVER bought movie tickets early before. Then with Carol, i bought her Red Sox tickets for her me and John so we could all go to the game for her birthday. Then my parents bought tickets and my brother and his girlfriend. We were all so excited to go to the game together! Carol hadn't been to a game for years. You should have seen her face. She was sooo excited! The smile on her face! The tickets immediately went on the fridge! She was taking about what she was going to where for the game and how we would get there and everything. Then instead of going to the game, we were going to her funeral. How did this happen? I still cannot deal with this.
I bargain with god everyday and still sometimes feel like if i do something right she will come back and we will make things better. I have that glimmer of hope even though i physically know it can't happen. I talk to her all the time. I ask for her advice and pray that she is watching how her family is behaving and will strike shame on them for the evils they have done to each other since her passing. I just finished reading a diary of hers from a rehab she attended for alcoholism. I had no idea the pain she went through. I had no idea she wanted a family of her own and it was not a choice she made to be single. She had a problem and could never get the help she so desperately needed. Now i feel guilty. As should her family. There should have been more support. There shouldn't have been so much pressure on her. She always cared about everyone but herself. She sacrificed her life to take care of her mother and her health to deal with life's issues. I cannot help feeling myself bargaining and begging for god to put her back on this earth to help her make life better.
According to the Seven Stages, i have a lot more to go. I had no idea it could take this long to go through this process. I thought i was done grieving. But in reality i have come to learn that when i deal with things, i shut down and i don't talk about it at all. I just ignore it and wait for it to build up and flip out on somebody because of it.
Here is the grief model called "The 7 Stages of Grief":
7 Stages of Grief...
1. SHOCK & DENIAL-
You will probably react to learning of the loss with numbed disbelief. You may deny the reality of the loss at some level, in order to avoid the pain. Shock provides emotional protection from being overwhelmed all at once. This may last for weeks.
2. PAIN & GUILT-
As the shock wears off, it is replaced with the suffering of unbelievable pain. Although excruciating and almost unbearable, it is important that you experience the pain fully, and not hide it, avoid it or escape from it with alcohol or drugs.
You may have guilty feelings or remorse over things you did or didn't do with your loved one. Life feels chaotic and scary during this phase.
3. ANGER & BARGAINING-
Frustration gives way to anger, and you may lash out and lay unwarranted blame for the death on someone else. Please try to control this, as permanent damage to your relationships may result. This is a time for the release of bottled up emotion.
You may rail against fate, questioning "Why me?" You may also try to bargain in vain with the powers that be for a way out of your despair ("I will never drink again if you just bring him back")
4. "DEPRESSION", REFLECTION, LONELINESS-
Just when your friends may think you should be getting on with your life, a long period of sad reflection will likely overtake you. This is a normal stage of grief, so do not be "talked out of it" by well-meaning outsiders. Encouragement from others is not helpful to you during this stage of grieving.
During this time, you finally realize the true magnitude of your loss, and it depresses you. You may isolate yourself on purpose, reflect on things you did with your lost one, and focus on memories of the past. You may sense feelings of emptiness or despair.
7 Stages of Grief...
5. THE UPWARD TURN-
As you start to adjust to life without your dear one, your life becomes a little calmer and more organized. Your physical symptoms lessen, and your "depression" begins to lift slightly.
6. RECONSTRUCTION & WORKING THROUGH-
As you become more functional, your mind starts working again, and you will find yourself seeking realistic solutions to problems posed by life without your loved one. You will start to work on practical and financial problems and reconstructing yourself and your life without him or her.
7. ACCEPTANCE & HOPE-
During this, the last of the seven stages in this grief model, you learn to accept and deal with the reality of your situation. Acceptance does not necessarily mean instant happiness. Given the pain and turmoil you have experienced, you can never return to the carefree, untroubled YOU that existed before this tragedy. But you will find a way forward.
7 stages of grief...
You will start to look forward and actually plan things for the future. Eventually, you will be able to think about your lost loved one without pain; sadness, yes, but the wrenching pain will be gone. You will once again anticipate some good times to come, and yes, even find joy again in the experience of living.

Taking a step back
I've recently got into a fight with a very close friend of mine. What was this issue about? Communication. Isn't this the main source of every fight when you think of it? usually thinks aren't meant the way they are said or one person is thinking of something they are annoyed with but don't say anything and expect the other person to know why they are upset. So what i learned? to speak up! for most people who know me they will be shocked to hear me say this since i am not a shy person. But when it comes to my feelings getting hurt, i brush it off or joke about it to pretend i don't care. This is the source of my problems. I don't like asking for help, in fact i very rarely ask for help. I'd rather do everything by myself. Then when i find i'm in too deep i feel like no one is there to help me. For me asking for help is a weakness. I always believe that i don't need any ones help and that the only person i can rely on is myself. Of course this is true when you don't let anyone in. So my new vow to myself is to make the effort. When things go bad, call someone, talk about it. Don't sit there for days upon end and sink into a depression hidden from the world. This has certainly never helped me in the best and only made me sink to my lowest. So instead of bitching about how hard it is to maintain friendships, i am going to evaluate the friends i do have, the people in my life and start building up the relationships i know are worth it and with the people i love. Why am i wasting time on people who don't care and slacking on the people who do? I'm starting to realize why adults have very few close friends. It's because those are the only ones worth having around. I love having a bunch of people around don't get me wrong, but if your not going to work on the relationship with me, then don't expect me to do it either. :)
you live and you learn.
you live and you learn.

Being Gay.... What is the big deal?
So i was watching MTV's show True life "I want to be straight". It had a woman who was a lesbian and a guy who was gay. They were talking about how they wanted to change their lifestyles to be straight because their families refused to accept them for who they were. I was horrified watching these poor individuals and what they were facing. They were going against everything that feels normal to them, because their families couldn't open up their minds and accept that they are not straight. So in order to stay connected and not loose their parents, they both made the decision to become straight. They started dating the opposite sex and not doing what they truly wanted. At one point, the woman shared a story about how her mother stabbed her for being gay when she was 23. She caught her having relations with another woman and she couldn't handle it.
The man shared how his family shunned him for going against his religion, Christianity. They performed prayers and prayed to God that he could keep up with his goal of being straight. He was stating how he was afraid that if he came out about his past to guys, like his roommates, that they might think he was checking them out and trying to hit on them. He was trying to say that just because he is gay it doesn't mean he checks everyone out. This is a common misconception.
I felt so sorry for both of them. The horrible things their parents would say. Eventually they are going to have to live up to what they really believe and finally live their lives. I can't believe people can still be so against this lifestyle. It's a decision it's a lifestyle just like anyone else. What also gets me is that people think this is a new thing. Well guess what it's not! People have always been gay, its just that now more and more people are opening up about it and are deciding not to hide anymore. People in the old days had to hide their feelings and never got to live their lives how they felt. This is terrifying to me. The way some people have to live. It's very sad. I hope there can be more awareness about this topic, which is why i write this. Maybe people can learn to understand that not everyone is the same and that being gay or straight does not matter. Its out there and its not going away. So just let people live their lives!

Still coping with friendships...
I am still daily frustrated with working on friendships. I am still becoming disappointed with peoples actions and words and i wish i could just scream out " be a good friend". Maybe i am being punished for not being a good friend myself when was younger? I feel like i left behind some of the best friends of my life.I moved, no one had licenses yet. Then when i did, it only rarely happened in the beginning and then it eventually stopped. I wasn't invited to going away trips and it was far to drive down by myself at 16 and back at night. I guess out of sight, out of mind is a good quote for this one!
Again i am going to have to work on this one for a while!
cross this of my "life accomplishments"
IM PUBLISHED!!!!!!! this is a major accomplishment for me! i have wanted this for 15 years! i started writing in 5th grade and i wrote down on a paper that i still have today that i wanted to be published and here it is !!!! FINALLY i'm there!!!!
The Pirates of Pancake Island animation team in action: (L to R) Jeanne Flanagan, Bill Trudell, Melitta King, and Shannon Daly.
By Michelle Cooper
Since 2005 Somerville Community Access Television has won the National Alliance for community media award six times. This year it was for best animation film by non-professionals. Never mind all the other awards they have received for being a great community access television center. The winner this year wasPirates of Pancake Island by Jeanne Flanagan, Bill Trudell, Melitta King, and Shannon Daly.
When asked what brought this idea together, Melitta King said, “We talked about ideas each of us had, what we wanted out of the class and looked at the materials that Jessica Barnthouse (who was teaching the class) had for us to work with. Then it turned out that Jeanne had brought the legos with her to the first class and Bill Trudell had the packet of plastic spiders in his pocket.
“From there we easily decided we could do a pirate story and somehow tie in the spiders. Each of us added something to the project. I wrote up the ideas we had into a script and added that with two lego sharks we should have one swim by – while another shark would sneak up and eat the first pirate who dies. Jeanne went to the Olympics for crew – so she made sure the rowing in the piece looked real.
“Jeanne also made the piece of fabric that we used for the water. Bill came up with the idea of pancakes for the island and he created the music for the piece. Shannon was a Masters student at Emerson at the time. She has great organization and excellent editing skills.”
How long did it take to put together? “The animating took most of the class.” Said King. “We finished editing the piece after the class ended. The best part was that each of the four of us was really an important part of the process. The piece wouldn’t be as good as it is without all of our efforts.”
This creative work is done with a few legos and a stack of pancakes. The video has some great humor in it and it is not what you expect, which makes it fun to watch. Two lego men pirates set sail to look for buried treasure. Do they find it? You will have to watch to find out. You can find the link on SCAT’s website www.access-scat.org.
Since I was so enthralled with this piece, I decided to go to the source and take a tour of SCATV to see what this place was all about. Wendy Blom, who is the Executive Director, was nice enough to show me around and tell me about the place. She showed me each room they have including the control room, and the community conference room. This conference room is available for any member of Somerville to use as long as it is available. They have also have Internet access and plenty of resources to use to create films. SCATV has been around since 1983. They are the oldest access television center in Massachusetts. They have so many great resources there. If you have an interest in creating films or art, this is the place to go.

Let down....
Getting let down is an all to familiar feeling for me. People are never what they say and no one commits. I'm learning more and more as i get older that saying "Blood is thicker than water" is so important because its true that family is way more likely to stay around then friends. I have always wanted to have a good group of friends and have everything be they way it was when i was younger, a big group of friends, everyone hangs out and does everything together. Now that im older i don't have that. Everyone has their own lives and their own stuff going on and its a lot harder for everyone to make time for each other. It just sucks because i feel like i put a lot of effort into building relationships with friends and making time for people and i don't feel like i get the same in return. I feel like i have no one to rely on and the few true friends i have i can count on one hand.
This whole issue is making me realize where i should be putting my time and effort and maybe i shouldn't be wasting energy on things and people who don'r really care. As far as i'm concerned people who care about you are there when they say there gonna be and if your not, i'm done doing it for you.

Weekend in CT...Falling in love all over again!
So every year John and his family go to Colebrook Connecticut for the fourth of July. This was my second year and it was much better than the first. It's nicer to know what your getting into when you go away and its hard when you don't really know everyone that well. This year was a blast. I feel like i know everyone better and i knew what to expect and it was easier to have let loose and have fun. But what made the trip even better than ever was that i honestly fell in love all over again this weekend. Just watching John working and hanging out with the guys, i just couldn't take my eye off of him! Then there was a band playing one night and he asked me to dance with him, which is normally totally out of character, but we did and it was just so nice. (yes there was some drinks involved but i'll take it!)
He is just so good to me and i couldn't ask for anymore. After what i have been through in the past 2 years and the horrible past of relationships, this weekend just really opened my eyes to what i thought i had before and to what i really have now. It's amazing to me that love can really be there and strong and that its always a work in progress and that you don't just have to love the good stuff but that bad stuff too. There should always be compromises and just because not everything goes your way or you become annoyed, its no reason to run and be scared. Sticking around for every moment is what matters. I'm glad to see myself mature and less stubborn.
You know how everyone asks " how do you know its love?" Well i'd say that you know its love when you want to do anything for that person no matter what it takes and you just want to please them because you love it when they are happy. To put a smile on their face because you love to see it. To do things you wouldn't do for just anyone else. Then they do the same just for you! That's how i know i'm in love!

To put a smile on their face because you love to see it. To do things you wouldn't do for just anyone else. Then they do the same just for you! That's how i know i'm in love!

A little sympathy......
The solution to all problems: Sympathy. There is not enough of it in this world and i for one am getting sick and tired of it. Ya know not everyone that is unemployed is a dead beat. People need to be a little more understanding of life problems. People who are not living up to so called "standards of life" may have a lot of other issues going on. Just because you can't pay you bills or support yourself at a particular time in life automatically puts you in a class of deadbeat, loser, or stupid. When in actuality there are many factors that put you in that position in the first place. I'm not saying the blame should be put on any one in particular, but maybe if people has sympathy of the situation that your in, it could make all the difference.
Just because someone is having a hard time or complaining about something that you can't relate to, it doesn't make that problem any less important. Life sucks and that's just that way it is and you have to keep on going and i get that. But maybe as an outsider, you can take a step back, look at the situation and just say "wow that person has a lot going on that i can't understand but maybe i should be supportive anyway."
I for one am guilty of judging to quick and now that i'm in a hurtful situation, i realize that not everything is what it seems and that there are many factors that go in to a situation. You never know what is going on in someones life and just because they don't show all the pain that is going on, doesn't mean its not there.
So the next time you go and give someone a hard time, DON'T. Because the next words you say to them, could be the ones that put them over the edge.

Encouraging words
- Donna Shapiro michelle, you have had a rough time lately. but you know what, when you smile you light up a room. when you party, everyone has fun. when you love, everyone feels loved.....so keep these things in your mind and everything else will fall into place. when one door closes, God always opens another one and when God opens it, it is always better.14 hours ago · · 1 person
Paul Schirl Michelle, while it doesn't seem like it, things do get better eventually, but it takes time. Keep your chin up!
Parents have a lot to uphold
As a kid growing up, you always look to your parents for every boo boo, accident, bad grades, failed attempt at something. And as you keep growing up, you still look to them. For advice, support, a compliment. The point is, parents need to realize that they are always setting an example and your children will always look up to you and always seek you out either first or last for advice. So remember that each time your kid goes to you, they will always be looking for the answers and the experiences that you can share. No matter what age you are, whether they are alive or have passed. We all go to our parents for what we know and want out of life.
Just keep it in mind parents! We need you....always !

Intelligence
So today i saw this man with a tattoo on his right fore arm that said "Intelligence". All i could think in my head was "really? intelligence? did you need to get it tattooed on you because you don't have any and now you will?"
This is something that goes along the lines with stereotypes. The only reason why we even have stereotypes is because people live up to them and create new ones. I am all about tattoos. I love them. I don't think your a loser, bad-ass or whore just because you have them. But i do believe you are an idiot to have something like that tattooed on you. It makes you look stupid!
The lesson for today: Don't act like an idiot and people won't call you one! :)

I'm Finally pursuing my dreams!!
So you know how everyone says "Follow your dreams" and " only you can make it happen." Well after fifteen years i finally did it. I finally pursued what i have always wanted to do. Write. I have been writing since i was in fifth grade. I have always wanted to be a published writer.
Today i went for an internship position at the Somerville News paper. It is an unpaid internship but i get to write. I will get assignments and i get to pick which ones i want. I am so excited for this opportunity! I am finally pursuing what i have always wanted to do.
I've always felt like i couldn't do it and that people wouldn't support me and that everyone would think it is stupid and a waste of time. Finally, i just decided that i don't care anymore, i want this. I am more sick of people telling me to follow my dreams and i don't listen. If there is anything I've learned over the past three months, it's that you never know when your going to go and there is not always a tomorrow, but there is a today. Even if i never get a chance to write my article and be published, at least people can say i tried and i wanted it badly enough that i went after it. I can be proud of that.

Another bad text
So yesterday morning i woke up with a text from my little brother that he had to take my sister in law, Jenna, to the hospital. She said she was having breathing problems and that she felt she needed to go to the ER. So he took her. Turns out that she has an infected Gallbladder. The Gallbladder is the organ that helps digestion. So right away, i think that maybe it has been infected for a while, like during her pregnancy and maybe that is why she was so sick. I looked it up and it says that this condition can sometimes be overlooked in pregnant woman due to the symptoms being the same. So today she is getting it taken out!
I just hope this helps her and that she won't be sick anymore. Poor Jenna , she has just been through so much and i just want her to be okay and live a happy non sick life!!! :) we are here for you Jenna!!!!

Going Public
So today i decided to make my blog public. So far so good. People are actually reading it so that's a start. whether or not people will continue to read it is another thing! But hey i am just glad that i finally did it. I have kept a journal since i was in 5th grade and i still have every page. I won't go as far as posting that stuff yet, if ever, being a teenager makes you say some really crazy stuff and you go through some really crazy stuff. But hey, maybe someday. Never say never. As for now i just plan on writing about life like i always have. Now i just have an audience. So to speak. Now i just need an opportunity to get paid to do what i love. As for now, it will be my daily insights or daily drama events in my case. There is always something happening to me or around me. I have always wished for a dull life and instead it just keeps getting more drama filled.
So thank you to everyone who supports me and to who ever needs someone to talk to, believe me i have probably been through it or have been involved with it in some way or another. Or i can just listen! Life is about opportunities, you just have to know which ones to take. I hope i took a good one tonight.

My Birthday
Well i'm another year older, and i don't feel any different really except not being where i want to be at this point in my life. I have no career, i'm not happily married with kids. But hey whose plan actually works out they way they wanted? no one i know.
And also, yet again, no birthday party for me. No one can make it, no one wants to pay to go out. But hey i'm used to being let down. Yes i was mad. But where is that going to get me? Instead i have to learn my audience. I should have had a birthday cook out. Where everyone could go no matter what their age or financial status is. So ya maybe i didn't have a big birthday party. but i did get to go to the cape with my amazing boyfriend and he took me out for an amazing dinner! I shouldn't be complaining, i should be thankful that i have an amazing man in my life and that i am happy!!!

Poem: “Welcome to Holland” by Emily Perl Kingsley
I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with a disability – to try to help people who have not shared that unique experience to understand it, to imagine how it would feel. It’s like this…
When you’re going to have a baby, it’s like planning a fabulous vacation trip – to Italy. You buy a bunch of guide books and make your wonderful plans. The coliseum. The Michelangelo David. The gondolas in Venice. You may learn some handy phrases in Italian. It’s all very exciting.
After months of eager anticipation, the day finally arrives. You pack your bags and off you go. Several hours later, the plane lands. The stewardess comes in and says, “Welcome To Holland”.
“Holland?!?” you say, “What do you mean “Holland”??? I signed up for Italy! I’m supposed to be in Italy. All my life I’ve dreamed of going to Italy”
But there’s been a change in the flight plan. They’ve landed in Holland and there you must stay.
The important thing is that they haven’t taken you to a horrible, disgusting, filthy place, full of pestilence, famine and disease. It’s just a different place.
So you must go and buy new guide books. And you must learn a whole new language. And you will meet a whole new group of people you would never have met.
It’s just a different place. It’s slower-paced than Italy, less flashy than Italy. But after you’ve been there for a while and you catch your breath, you look around…and you begin to notice that Holland has windmills…Holland has tulips. Holland even has Rembrandts.
But everyone you know is busy coming and going from Italy…and they’re all bragging about what a wonderful time they had there. And for the rest of your life, you will say “Yes that’s where I was supposed to go. That’s what I had planned”.
And the pain of that will never, ever, ever, ever go away…because the loss of that dream is a very significant loss.
But…if you spend your life mourning the fact that you didn’t get to Italy, you may never be free to enjoy the very special, the very lovely things…about Holland.

Is there a God? Because i'm losing faith
Sean Patrick Cooper was born today! I couldn't be more excited!!! I got to be there for the labor and i honestly can say it was a miracle to watch. I never had a fascination to be in the room before until now. yes it's gross but it's also a very beautiful thing.
He was born at 1:37pm. The most beautiful thing i have ever seen in my life. A full head of hair, gorgeous. The nurses and doctors said he was healthy and perfect. My mom and i took thousands of pictures and i posted immediately on Facebook!
Then about an hour and 1 and half later, the first time i get to hold the baby and take a picture, the nurse comes over and takes him away from me. The room suddenly fills with nurses and doctors and then i knew something was wrong. They continue to tell us that Sean has some signs of down syndrome. They explain about a space between his toes, his neck is a little thicker than normal and his pallet in his mouth is high.
I didn't see it and neither did my family. Nothing can be sure until they take a blood test. Since its memorial day weekend, we have to wait until Tuesday to find out.
Please god, PLEASE just let everything be okay. After everything my brother and Jenna have been through please just let everything be okay.

Unbelievable pain
I got woken up this morning at around 5:45am, It was my dad. I didn't want to answer it. I knew something was wrong. My dad is not awake at this time, EVER. So with total disregard to what i am feeling, i answer the phone. He tells me "i'm sorry Michelle, there has been an accident." I immediately expect something happened to my grandmother, Noni. She is 80 years old. I started screaming "Oh my god, oh my god, What ? What happened?" He says the unthinkable,"it's carol. I'm so sorry to tell you this but, she just passed away..."
All i could do was scream, out of control screams, john immediately woke up and all i could do was hold on to his tee-shirt pulling at it and screaming, i couldn't sit straight, i could imagine what i had just heard, i dropped my phone on the bed and could hear my dad yelling my name, i could not function. All i could do was scream. Carol? she can not be, how, why, what are you talking about, No she is not gone, she can't be. Your wrong. there is no way. I literally crawled out of bed as i could feel the vomit coming up. I crawled to the bathroom opened the toilet seat and let loose. John picked up my phone and spoke with my father. Then he came into the bathroom with me. He asked a question that i will never forget "i'm so sorry michelle, Noni huh?" The tears came rushing. "No carol." He was just as shocked as i was.
Carol was not sick, she did not have cancer, she was fine. We are taking her to the Red Sox game on monday for her birthday. She said she hasn't been to a game in years. I couldn't wait to take her. I can't believe this is happening. Why is my world falling apart..........

Heaven took an Angel to early
So i am at Chuckie Cheese, Nannying and hanging out with my friends Amanda and Caitlyn and the kids they nanny. It's all fun and games until i get a call from Maeg, I knew what it was going to be. "Ricky passed" she said. Instant tears filled my eyes and i get off the phone with her to call my mom. Delivering this news is not a privilege i wanted. She too gets emotional and hangs up. My body went weak and my heart sank. The girls new too. But i told them anyways. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't leave. I had to take care of Matthew and so leaving just wasn't going to help anything. When it was time to leave, i gathered matthews things, took him to the car and started to drive. The water works began. But then i knew i had to drive and suck it up until i got him safely in his bed.
Finally, it seemed like an eternity but we got to his house, i layed him down to sleep, and i let myself just explode with emotion. I knew he was going to pass, and i knew he was never going to be in pain anymore. However, i failed to prepare myself for the fact that i would never see him again. I would never hear his voice, never laugh another laugh with him. For some reason his laugh is something i can never forget. It was one of those contagious ones where even if you didn't know why he was laughing you just had to join him.
I then turned on the tv and "My sister's keeper" was on. So i watched, and i cried.
Christmas will be the toughest. You see my aunt debbie and him always put a Noel sign on the mantel but instead of spelling out NOEL, ricky always changed it to LEON. And we always had a tradition to play card games after any holiday. When we were kids we would just sit and be "Good luck charms" A.K.A pains in the asses. We used to charge them to use our troll dolls for good luck!!! haha! and they would pay us. Then as we got older, they let us join in. It was my favorite time. Getting to play as a family.
What really broke my heart the most was that i heard my dad say he doesn't want to do it anymore. He will never look forward to a holiday again because his brother won't be here to enjoy it with him. Seeing your father cry is something you cannot get out of your head. It only happens a few times if ever in a child life and for me, lately, i've had to see it to much.
I remember one day my father and i went to visit Ricky before he passed. It was back when we first heard he as sick again. Back when they thought he wouldn't make it a few weeks. We both spent time with him and i just remember him laying there in his bed. helpless.
When we left, as soon as we got in the car, my father and i burst into tears. We both had this feeling that we would never see him again and that this was it. I have never seen my dad cry so hard. There was nothing i could say to comfort him. There was nothing i could do to help.By far the worst situation to be in. a daughter and a father.
For us anyway, then there was Jill and her father. My best friend/sister has lost her father. The unbearable pain she must feel. When she called me that day, after maeg, her voice was in hysterics. How was i going to comfort her, what can i possibly do. There was nothing. We all lost a huge part of our lives that day. A huge part of our hearts.
How are we going to go on?

God saw you were tired,
and a cure was not to be,
So he put his arms around you,
and whispered, "Come to me."
With tearful eyes we watched you,
and saw you pass away,
Although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating,
Hard working hands at rest
God broke our hearts to
prove to us,
He only takes the best.

Nana Jean passes away
So My cousins Jill and maeg lost their grandmother today. She was having Kidney failure along with many other health issues. She was suffering for a few months now. And after a long struggle her body gave up. She was a very happy woman with a smiling face. She loved her cats and she loved her family. Even though i haven't seen her in several years, since she moved to Florida, i was very saddened to hear the news. My only very memorable memory with her was when i was very little at Debbie and Ricky's house in Haverhill. They used to always all play cards together, Jill's parents,(debbie and Ricky) my parents, (Bob and Debbie) and Maegs parents, (Donna and George) and several others, and well at the time there was this commercial for Disney world and this little girl walks up to Mickey and says "I've been waiting my whole life to meet you." and she was just so little and cute and well Nana Jean thought i looked just like her so she used to always try to get me to say it. I remember doing it a few times but usually i got embarrassed and wouldn't.
I miss the good old days. When little things like that happened and you didn't even realize that the smallest thing like that would be your only real memory of someone in your life. This is where the saying " Make every moment last" comes from.
May you Rest in Peace Nana Jean

Christopher's Accident
So tonight, i took john to go get a couples massage for his belated anniversary gift. Just as we were finishing up, i heard my phone ringing several times in a row. I knew something was wrong. I waited until we got in the car to look at my phone. It was past 10:00pm and it was my mom. Now i knew it was serious. I called her back and she was hysterical on the phone "Chris was in a car accident and flipped his car over route 1". "WHAT?" i couldn't believe the words that came from her mouth. Luckily we were already on route 1 so i got there fast! Once we got close the traffic was out of control. So I told john i was gonna run there. He took over the car and i ran. But no matter how fast i ran i felt like i wasn't moving. When i finally got there, there was glass EVERYWHERE, the car was crushed and the cops just seemed pissed off. I finally got the info from the police of where they went to the hospital and we went.
Chris was with his girlfriend Ellie and they were driving to Kelly's heading route 1 north (Saugus), they ended up on route 1 south. Yes it was that bad. Someone cut them off and there was snow piled up in the middle median, they hit it like a ramp and flipped over to the other side. I just have to thank god that they didn't hit another car when they flipped. Another car did hit them but not to hard. The car broke the fence in the middle and the car is completely totaled. Chris had some bruises and a sprained shoulder and Ellie, well she hit the windshield and it caused her seat belt to rip her earring out of her ear and her ear lobe ripped in half. And then she had some bumps and bruises. Other than that they are okay. The doctors told them if they didn't have their seat belts on they would both be dead. Thank god for seat belts.
Oh and bobby's birthday is tomorrow! Happy Frigging birthday!
Chris was with his girlfriend Ellie and they were driving to Kelly's heading route 1 north (Saugus), they ended up on route 1 south. Yes it was that bad. Someone cut them off and there was snow piled up in the middle median, they hit it like a ramp and flipped over to the other side.
