Full of Anticipation

My mom kept a diary for my brother and me, so I wanted to document this day for my nephew.

My sister in law is scheduled to be induced today. Even though she's not due until the 19th, she wanted to be induced. That means we will have a new little member to our family!


Mason,

I can hardly believe that it's time for you to be here. Nine months seemed to have passed by so quickly. I've been wondering who you'll look like, what kind of temperment you'll have, and so much more. I won't have to wait much longer! The anticipation is definitely building. I can't wait to watch you grow up and become your own person.

I love to write, so I thought I would document my thoughts before you come into this great big world. I also want to give you a little advice. :)

First and foremost, love with all of your heart. Don't be ashamed to be different. Blending in with the crowd is overrated anyway.

Remember to dream big. I read a quote one time that said the only place dreams are impossible is in your own mind. The world is yours for the taking, my sweet nephew.

I could say much more, but my mind is swirling with a million thoughts. Your daddy has got the music turned up this morning, so I think that's why I can't concentrate. He's playing the song, "We Will Rock You" right now. :) I guess that means he's ready to get this show on the road!


I just want you to know that you are loved. I can't wait to welcome you into the world.

All my love,

Auntie M

Freewriting Day 19: Tangled Web

Just a reminder. Freewriting is when you just write. There is no set way to do it. This DOES NOT mean that my writing is free to be taken by others. I want to make that clear. Oh, what a tangled web we weave That was a Shakespeare tragedy Now it is your reality. All of the lies and cover ups Have buried you Gone are the comforts you had grown accustomed to Why did you push that boundary? Why did you cross that line? Did you really think "I can get by with it this time?" What happened to you? What kind of sick, twisted fantasy did you have? So many questions left hanging in the air. Do you even know yourself? Maybe you stopped caring, Maybe you felt alone. I hope that cheap thrill was worth it because now you are caught. You can't run away. You can't escape the stares. Worst of all, you can't escape yourself. I know you are probably replaying every scene, Wishing and hoping it's all a bad dream. Sadly, t

Advocating for Another: Inside the Fishbowl

Image
Since I talked about my community and some things that make me and my readers unique yesterday, I thought I would branch out and do one of the bonus prompts, which says to tell what my life is like to someone looking on the outside then describe it from the inside. On the outside, I look like a stylish young woman busy attending college classes and helping out at my church all while in a wheelchair. Some people have mistakenly thought I have an easy life because I have people helping me do things, get a little extra time to do tasks, and so on. From the inside, they would see a slightly different picture. My hair looks so good because my mom helps me dry it and style it. I have a beside commode because I'm not quite strong enough --yet--  to walk to the bathroom and sit down without help. They would also see I have to get up about thirty minutes to an hour before I have somewhere to be in order to get ready because it takes me a little longer to do things. They wo

Memories Rewind: Playhouse Parties

 Something's up with the spacing today. I was over a C's house for a sleepover filled with laughs, mischief, and games. We still had a few daylight hours to burn, and we just couldn't waste away a beautiful day in the house. " Whatcha wanna do?" C asked. I spotted the bright pink doll house out of the corner of my eye. Let's play house! We arranged the miniature table and chairs just so. The table cloth was laid aside because this was a casual affair. Mr. Teddy and all of C's dollies were anticipating the fabulous feast put on by the two princesses. "What shall we make?" we pondered. It had to be special. Mud pies were a favorite of the furry forest animals. I scooped up mounds of mud as C poured the water in. We were quite the team, so before we knew it, those mud pies had a date with a hot oven. Water and lemonade were waiting to quench the thirsts of the animals. Sticks were used in place of forks. We didn't want to lose an eye
