Good Morning World,

I pray all is well with each and everyone of you. It seem I always find my way back later then I would like to blog and check in with each and everyone of you all. We already in month Feb, be over soon. I love that its a short month to be honest. I really don’t have much to say. I just bn taking one day at a time and process of still looking for primary care doctor, everytime I think I have one they don’t take me for whatever reason. Since the last I posted my dad have started his treatment. Which is up and down days and he truly believe its helping. Such good news to hear from a love one. God is truly good all the time. He needs 2 units of blood since last visit for treatment a few days ago. He goes twice a month and come home with it and let it run its course. He such a strong man, but trust even the strongest have they moments. Good be prayed up. I have had two er visit and lets just say the first one went good. The second one not so good. I already hate the hospital that’s closer to me because half the doctor don’t do they job. Just cause they see a black person come in with sickle cell they think the worse. And half do they job, but I plan on doing complaint to take care of that situation. Enough is enough and I do mean enough. Sad say its not just black disease and till some go back to school and learn how the handle the disease a lot more of us are going to die. Im tired waking up every day and hearing how we lose another warrior. It piss me off. I know we all die but to see they tried get help and to be treated like animals just make my skin crawls. I believe going to end post here before I work myself up over stupidity. I pray all is well with each and everyone of you all. Hope to check in real soon to catch up on comments and blog post. Thank you all for staying with me and for the one’s that just join and I know I havent bn posting much.

With everything going on in my world…. I have thought about writing for the past few weeks but just didn’t have it in me. But I’m finally making myself, but pushing myself to do better. With today society, you need a place to escape to. My dad will start treatment in few weeks. I’m nervous and thankful.Deep down I know he going fight dis cancer. He got a port about week ago. Its weird having my dad ask about different things, about port. A few weeks ago we had a scare. He went to get registered for surgery day before. But EKG showed us his heart was off beating fast,so he had spent few days in prison. They got him on new meds for his heart. His truly a strong man. I been dealing with my illness best I can. I have no primary doc at the moment. Looking for a new one. Ionly had two er visit so far dis year. The hospital close to my parents I hate. They feel if your counts good they won’t do anything for you. I have lost faith in the medical field. You suppose help us and not judge us. Then when we die in your care are lack of. You don’t give a damn. I had got really sick back in October. I w as going back and forth to er. Retic was high, but counts OK. Oh you making new blood cells. Which was damn lie. Last time I had went, they did t recheck counts. Few days later. I w as in full blown crisis and couldnt walk, so thankful I had a good doc working and on my team. Now a days I try and tough it out, and yes I knoe that’s not good. Anyways away from that. A new year and January is almost out. Wow. I hope each and everyone of you is well.. I will have another update soon. So much say and do. I need get with it. I’m trying go back school and finish my last year. Anything that keep me thinking and not stress about what’s going on around me. When will stop habiting and judging and just love? So much hate going on around us. I believe I’ll end my post here. I pray everyone is well. God Bless.

Hello World,
It’s bn few days, bn taking things and life slow. As I mention in last post. We find out my dad has cancer. All I know is it serious and I’m not sure just how. I believe and know God has the last say so. I had check up today and counts have drop from 8.8 to 7.5. Doc believe need unit, but I’m not trying have that right now. I bn dealing with headaches and pain lately. I knew it was something but just figure it was the weather. Last time i went er, they did nothing and I was running fever and coughing and whatnot, but since everything looks fine to them sent me home. Smh. I hate when people don’t so they job and think just cause counts fine nothing wrong. Well obvious they was wrong and probably my stressing didn’t help. The kids went back to school yesterday. So that a plus, we can rest and do more when they away learning.. lol.. omg 2 was and some days with them off. I.must say thankful I’m not parent. I know my blogging hasn’t bn consistent in awhile. But more then ever I need be writing clear my head. I need get back in school and finish my degree. My plan for the summer if I live see it.i hope you all rights well and enjoyed the New Year. I read comments and even some post, but bare with me. GOD Bless

Lets Pray

Posted on 26 Dec 201326 Dec 2013 by poeticjourney

This holiday so many are missing love ones.
I’m praying for the mother whose mourning and wishing she lost her life in car accident instead of her baby!
As I read her status it broke my heart.
I may not be a mother, but I know pain of losing someone close.
I’m praying for young lady fighting cancer alone and trying go on during holidays
As her mother fight to make it back to her.
Do bow your head with me …
So much pain when it should be joyful…
I know God got them covered and protected…
I pray as you all cherish the holidays, do enjoy it…
You never know when your last time or loves one’s …
Tell them you love them now while they can hear it!
I’m praying for my blogging family to continue to have a bless holiday and rest of 2013!
God Bless

Real Friend

Posted on 8 Nov 201314 Nov 2013 by poeticjourney

What is a real friend?
someone to pick you up when you down
Someone that understands your pain
When words can’t be find
What is a real friend?
Is someone you can trust
I’m telling you a real friend is one in million
Its a unbreakable bond!
What’s a real friend
Someone that lends a ear
When your whole world
Comes crumbling down!
I’m Bless to have you
I thank God for you
He knew I was in need
When he gave me you
This is my thank you
For been you….

I’m praying for you
And you, yes you
And many thats dear to

Feel like they alone

Her to help get her through
One more time.
To the young man

To the mother who fighting to
Live so she can make it back
To her children

Trying to find a way survive
I’m praying for my blogging family whose in need of healing
God hasn’t forgotten you
My soul cries out

The poem is dedicated to my cousin and her family. Her mother was diagnosed with cancer some months ago when I was going through some rough time with my illness. Now she is going through chemo. So I decided to dedicate this poem to my cousin and her family.
