8 Months Oct 2, 2012
Today marks 8 months since Kathryn passed away. I can’t believe it has been so long
already. Soon there will come the
days that I have engraved in my brain.
The last day of work, the day Kathryn was given 3 to 6 months to
live. Our last time to carve
pumpkins together. Our fight to
Houston and so on. My Mom gave me
a little book to read that is a daily reading type of book. I will write down my dates in this
book. Scott’s Mom did this to
remember special dates. I will
write down good happy dates too.
Change is happening and I was reminded of change the other
day. My friend from work got her
hair cut and sent me the picture of her in her new style. It is very cute and she wears it
well. But she wasn’t sure about it
and said she would have to just get use to the change. Somewhere in there she
said, “You know all about change.”
And yes I do. I am probably
the one person in the world who really doesn’t like change but I have had to
accept huge changes in my life whether I like them or not. I had told my friend about my Mom
coloring her hair and how she really didn’t like it at all at first. Now she has grown use to it and likes
it better than the grey. I like it
too.
Picking Medical Insurance was something I had to do recently
too. I sure liked my old insurance
but Obama doesn’t seem to think I deserve the insurance I had even though I
paid over $1,000 a month for it. I
just don’t get this. I was told
that everyone has to pay. Wasn’t I
already paying? So now I pay about
the same for less coverage. This
really sucks. If I had this
insurance at the time Kathryn was going through her treatments I would have had
to pay so much more. It would have
made things pretty difficult.
At school we have a class called Advisory. This class meets twice a week for 20
minutes. Our students stay with us
for the two years they are at our school.
I was asked if I would take a student from another class since she just
didn’t fit with the other students in this other class. The other teacher felt sorry for her
not having anyone in the class that she fit with. We gave the girl the option of moving to my advisory or
having a friend in my advisory moving to the other class. Well, she moved into my class. Her name is Kathryn. What a strange deal. But it doesn’t end there. Today I asked her what her middle name
was and she replied, “Elizabeth.”
Now, if you remember this is the name of Richard’s girlfriend’s sister
who also died from a brain tumor.
I wrote about how it would be nice if they ever had a little girl to
name her Kathryn Elizabeth. But of
course it would be up to them. I
couldn’t believe this was her name.
Especially because she wasn’t assigned to my advisory and your advisory
students never change. This was so
unusual for a student to change advisory classes and she chose to move into
mine. Weird!
On that note my neighbors still have the ghost in their
house. This is the ghost that we
believe is Kathryn.
I watched the Long Island Medium this past Sunday. I actually watched several
episodes. There was one where the
family lost a 24 day old baby and the baby was able to come through and let her
Mom know that she is ok and there was nothing she could have done to keep her
from dying. There was also a man
on the show who was there to understand death. He has pancreatic cancer (a very deadly type of
cancer). He came to the Long
Island Medium to find comfort in knowing that there is another life after this
one. He needed to know that he
would be greeted by friends. He
needed to know that he would be safe in death. He got everything he came for. This also made me feel good. Kathryn is not here in her sick body but in her spirit
living a beautiful life, not here but with God. She is with loved ones and friends and probably making new
friends. That is how Kathryn would work it. She would be friendly and kind making
all kinds of new friends.
I’m off to bed so Good Night
