my life, my family, my dreams, my hopes and fantasies

22-7

I got more hooked on this blogging thing. I spent hours and hours blog hopping and searching for cute blinkies to put in my blog. I like blinkies so much that I snagged every blinkie that I found cute. I was up for 22 straight hours (no nap breaks!). So that means, starting my day at 9 a.m. yesterday and finally ended it 7 a.m. today. I must be a call center agent (graveyard shift) or so I say. I can’t believe I have stayed up that long. If not because of Ella who at 5 a.m. found out that mommy is not beside her and tagged me to bed, I maybe up until lunch. :-) I slept more or less 4 hours. I woke up with the feeling of sand particles on my eyes. Read a few chapters of “So, Stick a Geranium in Your Hat and Be Happy!” by Barbara Johnson. This is not recommended by Oprah’s Book Club but I bought it anyway. I had slept while reading and it’s already dark when I woke up. Took a quick shower and started working on my blog again.

It never took so long after I started on this post when I received a call. My cousin is dead! He strangled himself and was found dead 6 p.m. tonight. I could not think of anything good to write about as of now. I feel tightness in my chest and I am short of breath. I would just be back a little later to write on something when I feel better. The news made me feel sick and dissapointed.

    I came by to thank you for the visit to my blog, and for the comment… But then I read about your cousin, and I can’t write a cheerful comment now… I am SO SORRY for your loss. (((((HUGS))))) I wish I could do something to help.

    P.S. I see you’re Crislyn’s sister. She writes about your precious daughter sometimes. You’re lucky to have such a sweet girl. :)

    Sorry for the loss of your cousin.I know it’s unbelievable.My husband’s cousin committed suicide last 2006(he’s also a male).Yes,it was terrible really.But these things happen.There’s just many things in life that we can’t understand,most especially what’s going inside the person’s mind.Sorry,friend!I hope your cousin will find the peace that he wanted.God bless his soul.

    I am so sorry to hear about your cousin, Caroleen. Suicide is never an option. But there are things that only the person knows before he took his own life. I wish that his soul will rest in peace now.
