After a lot of persuading from friends and family and a lot of consideration I have decided to try my hand at blogging. I felt like I did not really have anything to contribute to a blog, but people have said that they like to hear my "empty nest" stories, so that is where I thought I would start.
I am a mother of three. My first child Nathan, would be 23 had he of lived. He died during birth Feb. 26 1986. He was a full term, beautiful, healthy 6lb. 12oz. baby. His cord was around his neck. Back then the statistics were that only seven out of one thousand babies would be born with its cord around its neck. I had a really hard time with his death, but I also had faith that God knew best. Doctors said that he would have been a vegetable due to lack of oxygen had he of lived. I know that I will see him again someday. I believe that losing him made me appreciate being a mother even more when Brittany and Chad came along.
Brittany will be 22 in July. She will be graduating from college in two weeks, and moving to Indiana. She already has an apartment there and a job at a Dermatology Clinic. She moved out almost four years ago when she started college at Eastern. She was a member of Alpha Delta Pi and lived in the sorority dorm. During her freshman year at Eastern she started experiencing health problems. We had test after test run, it turned out that she had a tumor on her parathyroid gland. She had surgery at Vanderbilt by one of only two surgeons in the area who performs this kind of surgery. We pretty much forced her to transfer to Western so that she would be closer to home and to her Doctor. So she moved into an apartment near campus at the beginning of her Sophomore year.
Chad was 20 in December. He moved out almost two years ago when he started college at Western. He has a really cute little house in town, near campus. He is very particular about his yard (which he must get from his Papaw Doug). He is always fertilizing, sowing grass seed, lime, mowing and trimming. He works full time, third shift at Kroger. He has decided to take his time getting his degree instead of doing it in four years.
The only thing that keeps our nest from being completely empty is our dog Kage. We get so much enjoyment out of him. He is our shadow. Every step that we take, he is by our side. He is the smartest dog, he understands everything that we say. It has gotten to the point that we have to spell everything, and I do believe that he is learning how to spell.
