Please forgive me this doesn't make sense or if nothing is spelled right. I will explain. Today I had surgery and it is now midnight, I am hopped up on pain killers, my husband is sleeping soundly and my dogs are lying on the floor next to my feet while I watch TV in my living room. Why surgery you ask....well on Thanksgiving I found a lump in my right breast and after ultra sounds and mammograms it turns out there was something there. They took it out today only to tell us that they still are not sre what it is and that they will have to let us know in a couples of days. That sucks but while I was laying in bed I was thinking of my loved ones so here is a shout out....
My husband, Frankie, is an amazing man. He is the complete opposite of me. Calm, big hearted, calm, loving, a wonderful parent, and a super son and brother. On my worst days he is my best side and love him so much. He is the only person that I can't fight with, because he just wont do it and then he flashes that smile at me and I cant fight anymore anyhow. I trust him completely. I have never been with someone that I trust like that and it is a very freeing feeling. He is always working on our relationship and helps it and me to become stronger and healthier everyday. This last week has been hard for us and he has been a soldier. Love it!
Dad and Mom, they are just the best aren't they? My dad and step mom (Kalyn) are opposites too, much like Frankie and I. They are the best support system ever. I had been cursing my higher power during these hard times for taking my mom, but with out fail Kalyn steps right in to save the day. I am so grateful to have her in my life. She is an amazing person and I love her so much. My dad, he means everything to me. Just talking about it brings tears because we didn't always have the relationship we do now and it changed everything in my life. He teaches me everyday how to sacrifice and let go of the past. He is my protector and my grounding.
The family! Jenny, Troy, Amy, Grandma, DeeAnn, on on on.... this is my heart. They are the people that love me and help me through my roughest times. Whether they know it or not I worry everyday about them, about disappointing them, letting them down and not being a representative of Debbie. My family is beyond generous and loving. I don't have the words to explain how much I value and admire each one of them. The same goes for my married family. My mother in law Rose sat in the waiting room all day today with Frankie. Between her and Charlie and Frank and Bobby I am truly blessed!
My girls (you know who you are). What can I say. Between you guys I have my own medical nurse, a personal shopper, a special get out of town warning, and a tax girl now too.....such amazing people to stand beside me. You couldn't possible know what your friendship means to me, Katie, Monica, Megan, Amber, Linsey, Danielle, Jana, Vet....and so many more. You have been there through my ups and mostly my downs. I owe you...
People tell me that I am strong but it is only because I have such wonderful people in my life. There is my shout out!

Wow! Not what I was expecting to read when I came to your blog, but very cool. I don't think we tell each other things like this often enough, so I think it's awesome that you're putting it out there! It even brought a tear to my eye reading it!
awww-I like the softer side of Amanda! You were so brave and such a trooper!
