Back to Blogging

Ok, here I go again, blog writing. I stopped writing for months because, well, it's a long story. Let's just say something horribly unspeakable happened a few months ago...something that I thought would never end well. But you know what? Two months later, things have actually gotten better. I can't believe it.

My mom miraculously made a recovery and is back to her usual self, if not better. I cannot believe it. Part of me doesn't want to write about it too much because I don't want to "jinx" her recovery, but it's been unbelievable. This isn't a fluke. I think her recovery is real. That's not to say that I'm not scared to bits of a relapse. But I'm anxious to put this nightmare behind me.

I plan to visit California again. When I visited in April and May, her illness was just starting. Then when I visited in July and August, it was at the absolute height of her illness, including staying at two hospitals for almost a month. I wouldn't call those good visits at all. I'd like to visit again now that she is better. I'd like that a lot. She's asked me to visit because when the kids and I were there the last couple of times, she wasn't herself. Now she misses the children and wants to see and play with them...and just be a grandma. Period. She talks to Miadora on the phone like normal. Miadora is not scared of her voice anymore. In fact, she says that "grandma's back!" I'm hoping that she's back for good!
