Wow this has been a super fast week or 2. After a super long battle with a progressive form of MS, my mom passed away Wed 2/20. Although it should be a sad time, I'm happy that her suffering is over. It was pretty awful for her those last ..... it was just awful. I spent 7 years mourning her downturn healthwise and losing my "mother". Now all I can feel is relief. I feel a little guilty, but it's time to reconfigure my life a little bit. I'm not making big changes, just trying to get back on track. I am going to lose the 20 lbs I gained this year and try to get healthy again. My band is back together. I am going to volunteer to teach some kids percussion for a local after school program. Anyway, i am finally going to focus on me.
But I digress, the next day I hop online and see that 1up is gone. Wow, Really?? I really enjoyed 1up. I was a member for almost 2 years (I think). I blogged for 5 months before life got too hectic. I really enjoyed reading all of your blogs. I hopped on the site at least daily, checking out my friends blogs then seeing what the rest of the community had to say. I didn't read a lot of the big stories on the home page, I always went straight to the blogs.
It's nice that a lot of the 1up community has transplanted to the same place. Even though I don't know you people :) I felt loss initially, then excitement to find everyone here. I am going to try to blog a little more to get used to the site and get reaquainted. I look forward to the future!!
See you later!!
Two big hits in one week, that's a lot to take in. Sorry to hear about your mom, MS is a horrible way to go. My mom was misdiagnosed as having MS about ten years ago, threw us all for a serious loop, and then a year later she finds out that they made a mistake. No apologies, just "oh, no, you don't have MS".
Anyway, I'm looking forward to getting to know you better.
Thanks. It's funny how people love to misdiagnose MS. It's such a misunderstood disease in the general medical community. Thanks for stopping by and I look forward to getting to know you too.
I'm sorry to hear about your Mom. As you say, the suffering is over. It's still gotta be tough.
And just curious, are you Lemon from1UP? You have the same avatar.
Thanks GrayHaired.
Yeah, I am lemon from 1UP. I changed my name to my xbox tag.
Okay, I thought it was you, remember my last account at 1UP was down2zero and that is my PSN user name but most 1uppers know me as GrayHaired so i stayed with that.
Damn that sucks about your mom. At least she's not in pain anymore though. I'm glad to see you here Rhonda. I say blast some Maiden to help cheer you up. Here's one of my favorites.
I love Wasted Years! My favorite Maiden albums are Peace of Mind and Dance of Death but they are all great.
I think the site ate my first comment.
Sorry to hear about your mom. But I'm glad to see you back on the internets. I'm also glad your band is getting back together. Music is super fun.
Life is always better for me when i am playing drums. It is a great outlet and it makes me happy. I haven't done as much writing as you have, but will be working on it soon. It is a lot harder than I expected it to be.
I am really sorry to hear about your loss. I am glad to see you here though! as always feel free to contact me on Xlive!
Thanks, consider a friend request sent!
Oops, I know you... :) I just didn't realize it. Thanks for stopping by and keeping in touch.
My condolences. I lost my mom last year, so I think I know what you're going through... At first, I didn't feel anything, And that's okay. I started to get real nervous holding her ashes, but that was about it. I knew it was her time, and I tried to stay strong. I read a book on how to deal with the loss of a love a couple months later, thinking there was something wrong with me for feeling blank about the whole thing. It did help me come to the reality that everybody deals with it when they're ready... The past couple months I've just now felt that I just miss her so much. So yeah, I think about her a lot more now and stare at her picture sometimes.
I guess I just want to say welcome. =) It's nice to have you here.
Thank you. Your words are helpful. She suffered for so long. I cried the first day but after that... "I didn't feel anything" really describes it. Yeah I miss her but so far I feel almost just feel the same. One of my close friends told me it will hit me later and probably like a ton of bricks. I guess we'll see. My condolensces to you as well.
