So in the last 24 hours my grandmother- the woman who practically raised me- had a stroke, and my cousin and her 2 boys moved in with us.
My grandmother; who I call “Ma” has always been a mother figure to me. She helped raise me when I was little because my parents were young. She always considered me her seventh child. Even my aunts and uncles think of me more as a sister than niece. This Tuesday is her 80th birthday. I am blessed she has not really had any major health problems until now. I stll was not prepared for yesterday. When my dad called me i felt my whole world stop. I am not ready to lose her. So far she is doing well but the reality is-she is 80 years old- something is bound to happen to her sooner or later. I am closer to her than anyone in my life I just dont know what I will do without her….
Last night when I got home- my cousin was at my house with her sons who are 8 and 4. her relationship has been progessively down hill for a long time now. So she moved in. They didnt have anywhere else to go. Its going to be hectic and frustrating especially since I will be taking care of all the kids whe she works. Like today she works from 9am-9pm. Its crazy here- but I am making it work. God bless you all who have 3 kids-God bless you!!!
