</div><br></div><div><br></div><div>John - </div><div><br></div><div>This year had a rough start for John but is getting better by the day. In February, he had a severe case of covid that, because of his previous brain injury, left him in recrudescence... Something we had never heard of until now, but what happened is he relived all of the initial symptoms he suffered in 2019. It was horrifying and he had to relearn several songs and words and memories he had initially regained. Because of the medication they put him on and the strange episode last December right before our daughter's wedding, he often struggles with short term memory loss but has worked hard and prays as he keeps going like the Energizer bunny. He enjoys every opportunity he still gets to keep performing for retirement communities. He also is taking part in an aphasia study through Purdue University.</div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

But, that doesn't mean she has tons of free time. She is still the one to take care of the family's needs, which largely turned into a lot of taxiing to doctor appointments for various family members and just overall basically trying to be the glue that holds the family together, though most days she feels inadequate for the role and relies a lot on faith. She is still writing for online sites, though the development of AI has significantly decreased writing opportunities for her.

At the end of the year, you should have an interesting pattern of colors. I turned the chart into a pdf for you to print out, and left squares under the mood colors to add your own. For instance, after I created the pdf, I added a new color for Tired.</p><p><br></p><p>Here ya go!</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://terejscottwriter.wordpress.com/2023/01/09/color-my-mood-pixel-year-chart-download/">https://terejscottwriter.wordpress.com/2023/01/09/color-my-mood-pixel-year-chart-download/</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

First off let's address the obvious question - YES! This letter is the latest we have ever gotten out a Christmas/year-end letter. But, no complaints on this end so long as you don't mind reading something into the new year.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-EbJmhXW_U3I/Y6RWOSraxWI/AAAAAAAAceM/VXLtpRfWqcodVZwExWBpENe9_CGuU5tFwCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/1671714360370405-22.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-EbJmhXW_U3I/Y6RWOSraxWI/AAAAAAAAceM/VXLtpRfWqcodVZwExWBpENe9_CGuU5tFwCNcBGAsYHQ/s1600/1671714360370405-22.png" width="400" /></a></p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">This year was a whirlwind for us - It started out slow and cold, but then took off with some very exciting happenings before ending with a whole slew of emotions from panic to exuberance to grief and exhaustion filled with so much gratitude for friends and family who stand beside us with prayer and faith.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">If I didn't know God is the author of our lives, I would be certain that our life is a sit-com or soap opera script, and I'd fire the writers. A lot of our experiences are so surreal to us! But, if even just one person grabs ahold of boosted faith as a result of our head-spinning happenings, then it will all be worth it to us!</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">At one point, my quote was "I would be devastated, but I'm too busy being grateful!" That sums up a lot of our year.</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">We hope the end of 2022 finds you all in good health and joy in the Lord!</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Our roller coaster soap-opera-like year went something like this:</p><p style="text-align: left;"><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">*In June, John danced with Jale'na as part of a My King Dance Studio father-daughter dance performance at the recital.

He was driving down a small highway near our house. The highway has diagonal parking spaces along the side. Someone hit the acceptance backed into his front right quarter panel as he drove by. <div><br></div><div>We received an insurance check based on their estimate but it's $2000-$3000 less than shops are quoting us to fix it. All we want is for it to pass inspection in November. But I personally feel as if the shops are over charging knowing they can get more from the insurance. </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><br></div><div>Then yesterday, September 8, not even a month after the first hit, my husband was parked with his other van full of music gear in front of a retirement home where he had just performed.

I feel done!Sometimes I just feel done. Done dealing with stress. Done dealing with worries. Done feeling like I don't fit in anywhere and never will. Donevwith changes that aren't "new and exciting" as promised. <div><br /></div><div>Some days I just scream, "I'M DONE!"</div><div><br /></div><div>For the last 3 years, especially but in reality probably longer, I've had life hitting me with challenges. So, let's go back to 2018 to see what my family of 5 has gone through:</div><div><br /></div><div>12/6/18 - My mom/grandma to my kids died after falling and hitting her head while preparing Thanksgiving meal for the extended family. My son took it hard because he had specifically prayed for one more year with her. My oldest daughter took it hard because Grandma was one of her favorite people. We all took it hard because my mom was the prayer warrior for our family. I felt as though there was now a hole in prayer coverage for our family.</div><div>2/19 - My dad was hospitalized and then when my daughter and I went to help him recover, we unknowingly gave him the flu.... Horrible flu that took me two weeks to get the temperature back to normal and a couple months to recover from enough to work efficiently again.</div><div>5/17/19 - My husband/my children's dad had a massive hemorrhagic stroke that hit his language and right occipital nerve. He still struggles with reading and identifying objects/names, etc. but is thankfully fully able to perform music again. But the trauma of the event sent my then 12 year old, who was there helping me get my husband into the car when it happened, into a series of panic attacks, anorexia/bulemia, misophonia, you name it she got hit with demon attacks on all sides. It also kicked off years of health issues for my oldest daughter. who was performing dance and voice at a recital we were supposed to attend. I didn't want to worry her, so I waited to send the text that made her panic and traumatized. My son stood up to the spiritual support plate and man of the house, but then it blew apart his newly decided upon plan for a college path to his career. The catastrophic event wiped out 75 music gigs and ended his guitar teaching job.</div><div>11/1/19 - My husband suffers vertigo and ends up in ER.</div><div>1/20 - My husband experienced a weird event. </div><div>2/20 - By the end of February 2020, my husband had a decently full schedule of building gigs back up from before 2019 when he almost lost his life. Then, by the end of February, we started getting calls from the retirement facilities where he performs that they had to cancel due to COVID restrictions. We felt the brunt of the shut down before the rest of the industries.</div><div>3/20 - The world shut down due to the pandemic.. Before it was said and done, he had lost 175 gigs just poof gone.</div><div>5/20 - Our oldest daughter was supposed to perform the iconic solo by Mrs. Potts in Beauty and the Beast as her final performance with Lifelight, her high school musical performance group. They went through a lot with the director trying to save the show, but in the end the director got CoVID and decided that was the final decision to cancel the show.... Heartbroken daughter praying she could still graduate that year.</div><div>6/20 - My daughter did get to graduate, which is a highlight to this entire sequence of events. She gave the speech to her class, and it was held outside as a drive-in graduation. As weird as that sounds, it was the coolest graduation imaginable with confetti cannons and fireworks.</div><div>10/26/20 - Tere's dad died after weeks on hospice and Tere having a falling out with her siblings that has not yet been fully repaired.</div><div>11/20 - On Thanksgiving my son was in so much pain that he couldn't enjoy Thanksgiving food. Thanksgiving is his favorite holiday food. Turns out, he had an impacted wisdom tooth, and it would come out the following week.</div><div>12/29/20 - My husband's dad passed away following a course of unusual events. Turns out he was in a car accident. The airbags went off causing hematomas in his brain. He didn't realize it, however. A police officer drove him home after the accident, his car was totaled and towed away. My mother in law called my husband's sister the next morning saying dad wasn't acting right. She had no idea what had happened. When help arrived, my father in law was non responsive but alive. They sent him to the hospital that was supposed to be great with head injuries, but ended up transferring him on Christmas Eve to rehab, in my opinion far too soon. In rehab, he suffered a stroke and was sent back to the hospital but it was too late. He passed away in the hospital with my sister in law having to beg, and I mean beg, plead, and pray that the nurse would allow my husband in to see his dying dad.... due to Covid restrictions even though his case had nothing to do with Covid.</div><div><br /></div><div>Fast forward to now, and we've experienced blessings, happiness, and all but somehow even the happy comes with stress.</div><div><br /></div><div>My oldest daughter is now engaged, set to be married in December</div><div>My youngest daughter got a job at a young age and is dual enrolled in college, at 15. She cannot yet drive so I've become etaxi driver once again</div><div>My son had covid twice and developed health issues to which we are dealing and spending a fortune on</div><div>My oldest daughter also is dealing with health issues brought on most likely from all the trauma</div><div>Gigs for my husband are building, but then they suddenly go away if covid shows up again. Also, the activity directors he developed professional relationships with are quitting like there's no tomorrow. The new ones don't always know who he is, or they don't last long after booking him and then don't leave their calendar of events for the next director to take their place.</div><div><br /></div><div>In August, my husband was driving home from having one van looked at to get fixed to pass inspection when a car backed out into him on a small highway by our house. It was not his fault in the least, but insurance dealings ensued. Now, that van is beat up waiting on a side mirror to drive legally.</div><div><br /></div><div>His other van started making a squealing screeching sound and the shop can't look at it unless we leave it there for 3-5 days in hopes it will recreate the sound to determine the problem.</div><div><br /></div><div>Meanwhile, I was driving home from helping my husband at his parent's house that they are still clearing out to sell, and a Ford F150 clammed into the back of my van. The good news is that there's really no visible damage. But, somehow it traumatized me and put me at a tipping point.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Jalenagrahamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03297507124410384432noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1782401484459824164.post-38432454771366853722022-07-29T14:00:00.001-05:002022-07-29T14:00:52.369-05:00where's peara<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
