After savouring my chocolate bar and cleaning up the kitchen I decided to come on for my "facebook time" (AKA my "down time" - cause the kids are at work/doing homework and my husband watches his shows at night which I don't care for, so I have my "facebook" time :D BUT I'm thinking I should have stayed to cleaning the kitchen as when I went to my wall, a post from a page I have been following for a month or so appeared and when I began to read it, the emotions started flowing. If you've never heard of "Joey and Rory" before, you have to check it out. It will warm your heart. Or maybe it's just because their story hits SO CLOSE TO HOME for me, since my Mom passed of the exact same disease Joey has when she was 29, and after reading these blog posts, I can only begin to imagine how my Mom was feeling knowing she wouldn't get to see her girls grow up. Todays post REALLY hit hard as it's only a matter of time before Joey crosses over to her new journey. BUT I must say the positive out of this, is that even during reading this blog, I don't want to turn to food for the emotions it has stirred up in me, which is a HUGE change for me, as before I would have went right to the chip bag to "stuff down" the emotions. Maybe it's finally a sign I TRULY am healing from my Mom's passing 34 years ago (which I thought I had YEARS ago). Between things my client said today and this blog post, it feels good to release so much which I obivously had "stored down" still. My thoughts and prayers go to Joey, Rory and their daughter.
Here is Joey and Rory's Blog for those interested
