What's been going on!

What's been going on in my world...So much. Hunter came for a visit on Monday and stayed for a night. We had a great time. This is the first time since he was about 6 months old that he's stayed the night without his parents. He was so precious. We had the best time. We went for a swim and had a great time together. He absolutely loves his Uncle Chance. I would just mention Chance and he would say "Chance". He would get on the phone with him and talk. I have video of him on the phone. I swear they spoke about 10 times between the two days. It was my favorite.

On Tuesday and Wednesday I was in Austin for business and at night a little fun. The owner of my company was in town with his family. Ben, his youngest was playing in a Jr. Volleyball Tournament there in Austin and it was so much fun to watch his team play every night.

On Thursday I came home and stopped by Byron and Cathy's. They fed me the best food. Thank God to have good friends on the way home.

Friday, was chemo and radiation day. It was also my 3 month check up with my dermatologist. I had three places removed. The one on my chest, she at first thought wasn't a big deal but would check anyway, once she cut into it, she told me it was "a good catch since it felt different". We will wait and see what the pathology reports say.

The honey is out of town for the next week, so today I'm resting up. Hunter is coming for a visit again tomorrow afternoon and will stay the night with me again. I'm guessing you all are wondering why he's starting to stay so much. Well, I don't talk about this much but my oldest son, Lariat had his probation revoked last week. Lariat has had a drug and alcohol problem since he was 17, he is now 28. He once was heavy into meth and beat it but he's been in trouble off and on. He can't seem to stay away from smoking the pot. I thought that he would do it for Hunter and he has for a while but a few months ago he started back up. He's unhappy, depressed, he has been all of his life and it goes back to Taylor's death. He's needed therapy since that time and my ex husband didn't think the boys should get any. He thought therapy made a person weak not better. Lariat once told a friend of ours that he caused Taylor's death because a week before she died he said "he wished she'd never been born". So now Lariat is sitting in a Johnson county jail waiting on a hearing to see what his fate is. He's facing at least 2 years. We are hoping to see if we can get him some rehab help. That is the one thing he's never had in all these years. I don't know what to do any more for him. Emotionally and financially, I'm drained. Lariat realizes that I love him but I won't support his habit but I will support him in getting help. I will make sure that Hunter makes it out this with out too much emotional damage, that is why he's coming to visit as much as I can take without tiring myself out.

Well, that is what is going on in my world. Until we talk again.
