My Special Mommy

Well, so tomorrow in the morning my mother is having surgery. I am nervous for her but mostly excited because she has waited for what seems like forever to feel good for at least one day. I don't think she has ever had a good nor much less perfect day when it comes to her health. She deserves SO much better than that, and finally, I think she has found great Doctors! I know my grandparents, especially my grandmother is smiling down from Heaven because they too, know how long my mom has waited to feel better! It just seems like it has been one thing after another and hopefully this will be IT.

Above is a picture of the liver and gallbladder. In case you were wondering: #1 is the gallbladder, #2 is gallbladder removal, #3 is the cystic duct and #4 is the liver.


OH -- I should mention the kind of surgery my mom is having: She is having a cholecystectomy, which means they are totally removing her gallbladder because it is only functioning 28% (which is really bad) and she also has a hiatal hernia that the surgeon is going to lower and tighten. They tell her she will never be able to throw up again and will only burp a little bit but not A LOT like how regularly people do.

To never throw up again? Wow. That's nice, I guess. I have heartburn right now just thinking about it and actually, I've been having heartburn lately. I hope I don't have anything wrong with my gallbladder and I sure hope I don't have a hiatal hernia.

This is why I have to start eating right! Check out my new post on Walking Away The Pounds...gosh that needs a new name...and I think I've just might have thought of one. Still in the works though lol!

Well PLEASE say prayers for my mom and wish her luck if you'd like! :D

Love you very much mommy! :D <3

OMG! HE TOLD ME!!!!!

I had to share this with you really quick. He FINALLY came clean and told me how old he is! He is NOT 26! He is 35 and was 34 when I met him.

How do I feel? Since I already thought he was in his 30s, I feel great and like a BIG weight has been lifted off my shoulder!

He told me that he does NOT have a wife or kids in Mexico, he ONLY did not tell me how old he was because he knew he would have lost me and he doesn't want to lose me because he loves me very much.

I told him not to worry, that true love is not an age and that I love him very much. He is worried about me telling my mom, but she had already thought in the beginning that he was 35.

OMG! FINALLY I KNOW THE TRUTH! :D How did I get the truth outta him?

Well we got to talking about my past. He told me that he STILL does NOT understand why I went to Honduras and married the Catracho when I already knew he couldn't come back. He goes "Is there more to the story?"

Since he asked that I told him about the Immigration process and how the Catracho is waiting in Honduras for an answer to see if he can come back or not.

After that discussion he was really quiet but said "the past is your past" and that he still wants to be with me. So I get into bed and we are just about to hang up and say our "goodnight" when I say "Cele, can I ask you a question? Tell me, are you really 26 years old? Yes or no?"

He laughs nervously and I tell him "Can I tell you something then? I think, now I'm not sure, but I think that you are not 26 because you never tell me 'Yes, Megan I am or No Megan I'm not". You never say anything about it."

There's silence but I keep on talking and then finally he says "Okay, Megan. I tell you? Is it okay?"

I tell him "Yes! PLEASE tell me! I also told him again that true love has no age and maybe that he was worried about losing me, but that wasn't going to happen."

He goes "Okay, I tell you. But I want you to know that the only reason why I didn't tell you is because I didn't want to lose you and knew I would have if you had known."

He had a real hard time telling me so I got it out of him. I said: "I think that you are 30-something years old. Am I right?" He goes "Uh huh" and chuckles a bit. And then I say "35?" and he goes "OMG yes! You are right!"

He could not believe that I guessed his age right off the bat lol. Then he started crying saying how he knows I have to tell my mom but he feels as if he's disrespected my parents and me and that he doesn't deserve to show his face in my house ever again. He also asked me when I would tell my mom so he can be prepared if my parents say I can't ever see him again...and then he starts crying saying "He doesn't want to lose me" and that he's "never cried over any woman before" and that he "loves me", etc.

I tell him: "Cele you are NOT going to lose me. I love you so much and Cele, my parents are very accepting people. You don't know how I feel right now! I feel SO much better! My mom is NOT going to be mad, neither is my step dad. You have nothing to worry about. I understand why you lied and I forgive you."

He goes "You swear to me everything will be okay between us all?"

I tell him: "I swear to you."

We hung up as usual, laughing and everything like that. I can't believe this thing is FINALLY over! I don't even know if I'll be able to sleep tonight! :D

Just had to share that!

And I REALLY respect him for coming clean with me on his own instead of me seeing the I.D. and of coming clean that way.

He still told me that he his amigo DOES have his I.D., that that was not a lie and that he is going to get it back Saturday or Sunday and that he will still show me if I want.

My heart feels SO much better!

~Megan :o)

UPDATE: I also meant to say last night but forgot due to all the excitement lol, that I've been finding pennies, nickels and dimes around lately and I believe that my grandparents, or my grandma has been sending them to me (they passed in 2003 and 2004) and I really believe in stuff like that. One night I was making the bed for my mom and her and I were talking about Cele's age and what it could possibly be and I was making the bed I kept adjusting the covers and it didn't hit me until now but each time I adjusted the covers I found coins:

1 coin was a nickel, dated 2004. The other coin was a dime, dated 2000 and the last coin was a penny, which was dated 1972. (I have been finding 1970-dated pennies everywhere for a while, so I think my grandma was trying to tell me that Cele is indeed 30-something lol!)

Anyways, I put the "puzzle" or what have you together today and I think that the nickel and dime, well if you add from the year 2000 to 2004, that's 4 years right? Well FOUR DAYS ago I was making the bed when I found 'em and I found out 4 days later (last night) that he is 35.

And it's weird that the penny is 1972, which would be 36 but is CLOSE to 35.

Just wanted to share that! Bye! :D

NRT Insurance Training

So I am happy to say that I finished up my training tonight and passed both tests!

*YAY!!!!* (too bad I didn't have one of those sound effects things that sounds like an applause lol!)

That's all I can update you on right now.



Tomorrow is Session Three and I'm kind of nervous. We will be doing "role play" and reading the scripts out loud to each other to see how we sound.

Two more sessions and I'll be making live calls . . . I hope! Fingers crossed! :D
