Happy Birthday Mom!/Happy Anniversary Mother And Father!

 Well starting today will be the beginning of a very special week for me and my family. But more specifically, my mother and father. First we will be celebrating the birthday of my mother who will be 26 today 😁.

But then, the following week, my mother and father will be celebrating their 41st wedding anniversary on Monday. It is crazy to think how long that they have been together and the stuff they have been through during all of these years.

Which is kind of the topic of today's blog post, with me trying to be more positive, I wanted to look back on things with my parents.

July 15, 1990, me and along with my twin were brought into this world. Little did we know the chaos that was about to happen in our lives.

By the time Chad and I were eight years old, things started to feel different and it got so bad that my mother had to take us to the doctors where it was discovered that we had cerebral palsy and scoliosis which honestly just crushed my mom. You see, when it comes to this stuff, it could have only happened whether it was during my mother's pregnancy or during the delivery. To this very day, my mom still blames herself for what had happened, no matter how many times Chad and myself have told her that it wasn't her fault.

Of course, I can't forget about my father, to be perfectly honest, I never really did have a conversation about all of this with him. Despite that, I know he was concerned about us, although we didn't realize it right now.

I thank the Lord and my Nan for helping us understand that more especially now the older we get. What we didn't realize at the time was that they never really knew what to do about us. In fact, no one ever really explained to them what to do. They were just as blind as me and Chad are about what to do who deal with cerebral palsy and scoliosis.

Looking back on those days, it probably was one of the biggest reasons as to why I was self-harming. I was putting way too pressure on myself because I didn't want to worry them so much. With this ever changing world and a ton of things out of our control and me Chad still not actually sure what to do. Plus my parents are getting older now, I just want them to be proud of me and no longer worry about what is going to happen in the future.

Which now leads me to this point. I am extremely grateful to the both of you. Mother for always being there when I was sick and going through my Panic Attacks. I'm sorry that you had to see me in the ER because of them. But again, I am grateful for you and it is not your fault that this happened to us. I truly believe it happened for a reason.

And dad, I am extremely to you as well, you taught me that love can come from more ways then one. Although you may not understand what I go through on a regular basis, you still were there for me, you worked at a job where you have been burnt and had metal fall on you and still went to work because you wanted to make sure that me, Chad and Cody were taken care of.

I don't know if anybody else could have been as patient as you two were with me and Chad as we were growing up. I appreciate the support of my writing and when I launched my blog along with my first book, you guys were there supporting me. And do not worry, everything happens for a reason, we just got to trust in God's perfect timing, it will all work out in the end.

I can not thank you enough for everything you guys have done for me and I pray that I will make you guys proud.

God Bless you both!

Happy Birthday Mom and Happy Anniversary to the both of you!

Until Next Time!

God Bless and Be Safe Everybody! 🙏🙏🙏
