A beautiful end to a class i thought i would not succeed in. I am pretty proud of my final project grade, never thought i would pass it. I am sitting here in the dark writing my final blog, watching the ice come down really hard outside, thought this storm would pass us by, no such luck. Thanks to all my classmates and professor for all the positive feedback through this class, it really helped. Gonna sit here and finish watching Criminal Minds and then off to sleep for me. MEL

OMG!!! What a week i am having. There is so much drama in my family right now and so many hurtful words that have been said, how do you get pass that and forgive? I am the type of person that doesnt like to be on the outs with anyone, i am a very forgiving person, but when one of the most important people in your life has continually hurt you, it is so hard to swallow your pride and forgive. I keep telling myself things will get better, but we are not promised tommorrow. So i swallow my pride and forgive, knowing i truly want to hold a grudge like a dog with a bone, and never letting go of it. On top of all the drama, it is the final week for projects at Kaplan, i am so stressed. I feel like i am giving my all to school, but will my grades reflect that?

Today has been really tough for me, it has been one year since i lost the most important person in my life, my granny. My granny was everything to me. I grew up without the affection that most children get from their parents, so i acted out to get attention from them. When i was 16, i had a huge blowup with my mother and i left home and my granny took me in with no questions ask. She was the one person who gave me the affection and respect i  wanted and she didnt expect anything in return. She taught me the things i needed to know to be a good mother and a good person. Once i was out of college, i moved out on my own, but i went home every weekend. My granny was the one person i could confide in, without judgement. Today has been really hard for me, but not as hard as the past year without her. I miss my sunday afternoon conversations i had with her. I love you, granny and i miss you more than anyone could possiblity imagine.
