Bad things happen in threes??? Make Lemonade!


So, I've had a very rough week. One of the more difficult ones I've had in a long while. So start it off, I received an email from my aunt with some rather horrible news. My second cousin's (mom's cousin) daughter had been in a terrible 4-wheeler accident and was in a comma and on life support. I don't know her exact age but I'm pretty sure that she is just a teenager. Well Saturday the 15th the family decided to take young Kaycee off of life support. Apparently scans showed no brain activity after a weeks time. Along with myself, my rather large family has been tore up over this and are trying to be strong. Kaycee had herself registered as an organ donor so her organs were taken and saved other's lives. At least one good thing or hopefully several came of this tragic event.
Second, my relationship with Justin has ended. It was stuck in a really large rut and there was no way of getting it out. That's the best I can do with out going into too much emotional depth. We parted ways civilly and as friends. I only hope for the best for him and he will always have a special place in my heart.
Thirdly, my grandmother had a stroke on Wednesday the 19th. We are told that it was very minor and that she will be fine, but they are going to run several more tests just to make sure.
So I was told that things happen in threes. I figured my heart couldn't take much more so the rule had to be.
NOPE! There's more...
MALACHI GOT SUSPENDED FROM SCHOOL!!! Yep! You heard me correctly! The little angel decided that it would be a good idea to kick a child and when his teacher came to reprimand him he figured he's strike her too and spit at her!!! So there's the cherry on the icing on the double decker cake!
I lost it! Completely LOST it! I took a deep breath and held it inside, found Kristi in the merlin room (don't ask) and cried like a little baby on her shoulder. I honestly didn't think I could stand 5 more minutes on my own two feet.
Lucky for me I have a GREAT support group around me and I am doing fine, well as fine as I can be. Life has given me lemons, a whole sh*t load! And I've decided to make lemonade, damn it!

Poor little thing! Sounds like you've had a really terrible time and I feel so bad for you. I'm so sorry about Justin and your cousin. That's so sad! Your little guy is just doing what most little boys do and hopefully, he'll outgrow this phase.
