One can feel as though they cannot catch a break, with time flying by when can you catch up.I have an aunt who is dying from endometrial cancer whom I cannot find the time to go sit with anymore and a mother who is showing signs of confusion, signs like the first time she was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor. I am venting this is not cry for attention nor pitty, just venting. Perhaps someone else is going through the same if not worse than I, I know this is nothing compared to alot of people going through something.

All the while in my head I need to be a wife, a mother, a good friend, a crafter, a youtuber, an entrepreneur, a niece, a granddaughter, etc etc. Where is the time going ?

As a parent no one ever wants to see their child in pain. Nevertheless their 20 year old, first born baby. My daughter was a being a normal kid trying to tough out pain she had been having in her ear for awhile. She had in infection and left it untreated for close to 3 weeks. She does not currently reside at home or else I would have taken notice of fevers she was having.

The infection spread causing her to have Mastoiditis. I am sitting here reading all of your get well messages, your prayers and just every message on here and Instagram, they mean so much to me.

Amazing.

Clari is a tough kid and today she let some tears out. My oldest never cries, this is how I know Clarissa is in pain.I am praying that my Clarissa does not have to have surgery in the am. She is currently on a strong course of antibiotics.

I know that everything runs its course. That everything that happens is a lesson and a blessing. I have nothing but faith that God will see her through this. Cherish every minute of your day friends. Time is everything and its flying by. I wish I could stop time.


Thank you friends truly thank you,

Hi Christina! Sometimes it just feels like we’ve been hit by a big wave and can’t come up for air to catch a breath a minute. I know I too have been there. God will see you and your daughter through this! I know it’s hard right now but as my Grandma used to always tell me when I would be going through something, “It’s hard right now, BUT This too shall pass!” Keep your chin up girl! I have you & your family in my thoughts & prayers!!

My prayers are with you and all of your loved ones! My Mom had Alzheimer's and watching her memory decline was one of the hardest things that I had to deal with! I "lost" her twice, first to Alzheimer's and second in her physical death in 2013! We all go through our own trials and heartaches, but willing to share and talk about it shows strength and courage that God is working in your life! I hope time slows down enough for you to take the things God has given you(family, friends, etc) and continue to be a blessing in their lives! Hugs!

I lost my mom two years ago and I take care of my dad now,I have ministries in my church and have a husband and family(some sickly) and just planned my sons wedding.(her parents didn't want to help) I feel your pain and understand. Just knowing that God is by your side helps,but I know life is overwhelming. Just pray,pray and pray some more for everything that's going on,from very small to overwhelming.God will comfort you and wrap his arms around you.

I’m truly sorry about all that’s happening, it seems to always happen together. You and your family are in my prayers, my heart hurts for you. I’ve had two kids that had to overcome cancer, they’re doing well now, through the years, it took a toll on my heart, they’re both so healthy and strong now, both adults, and my daughter even ended up having my granddaughter that is almost two, she had only a ten percent chance of producing another child!! Miracles happen always, I can promise you this. I myself battle with Chronic Lyme’s disease, MS, & RA, I’m still here today, I’m only sharing with you this, because, it will sometime ease. My heart really goes out to you, at times it becomes overwhelming, Moms want to overcome so much, feel we must , give yourself you time, many will understand, it can wear on us too, just remember, you, then your family, the rest comes after... take care, sending out prayers to you and your family.☀️💫☀️ xox

Oh how true this is I’m sorry you’re facing such trials, but I do pray you (with God), triumph over them!!! My oldest is 19, and just moved last week to begin her Jr and Sr yr of college and I truly now know how it is to be unable to be there always so don’t ever carry that guilt mama! I think they want us to see how independent they are , and usually to them, they innocently don’t see how quickly medical issues may turn bad from such a “simple” infection. For your mom, and can’t remember if you said sister or aunt, I pray you will get the time to be with them. I also pray for a supernatural miracle in their lives! You are HUMAN. We were not designed to be Omnipresent, only God, so pray for time to do what you feel led to, and God will bless you with just that! Hugs! Jen- Alabama- USA 🇺

As long as your loved ones trust Jesus as their only Savior from sin, whatever happens will be God's best for them. I have 2 sons in heaven besides my parents, so I know that separation from those closest to you is physically painful. Each day, you try to picture their heavenly joy in order to get through the next minute. Our Heavenly Father hears the prayers of His children and answers His best.
