Not a Good Week.......

This has not been  a good week at all. First part of the week I heard my first ex husband was getting worse. He has lung and bone cancer. I know after Hospice comes in you don't have long. My daughter Darla is on the way down to Brownwood tonight. She said they are not looking for him to live through the night.

Back when he was 19 and I was 18 he was a pretty wild man. I had first met him in the 6th grade. Went to the movies with him then. Met him again when I was 17. He was a good race car driver at one time. I was with him for seven years. We had five kids.

I have forgave him for all of that now. I feel so bad for him having to suffer so much. No one deserves that. It will be  a relief for him and everyone else when he is at peace and an ending to his suffering.

Then today I had took my next door neighbor to work. She works way out on 35. On way back I thought I would stop at the Below Five store. They have good cell phone stuff. When I stopped I seen I had a message on facebook. It was a friend from Sweetwater telling me my grandson Devon had died in a car accident early this morning. I just sat there crying and shaking. He is 21! Such a shock.

When Devon was very young he and his brother Dillon and Mom Christy  and my son Charles lived here with me for awhile. I babysat them while she worked. But then she moved back to Sweetwater. They broke up and she came down one time with her to be husband. She told me I could always see the boys. But I really didn't. They were both on my facebook page. I seen Devon a few years back when I went to my grandson Zacks graduation. That was the last time I seen him.

One never knows how long anyone will be here in this world. It is always a shock when a young person dies. I have been in shock all day. I can only imagine what his Mom and Dad are going through. I know how that feels. I have been there.

I think Lita summed it up when she said, " My heart is crying for you....It should not happen twice in a lifetime for one person...but in the blinking of an eye....

RIP Devon Freeman.
