Mindful exhaustion

By Carter Family | by Carter Family

Originally posted 2015-04-23 19:25:56. For some reason today I feel more exhausted than I have been in past times when I have been bombarded by so many things at once. Maybe it’s just because I have been put in a situation I was never prepared to handle. But when are we ever prepared to have to make decisions like this for our parents? Especially the one parent that was never really a “parent” to you.…

Side Effects

By Carter Family | by Carter Family

Originally posted 2015-01-22 17:09:08. Side Effects. The two words can have a lot of meanings to everyone. They take own different meanings depending on the subject. There are side effects of medications, abuse, rape, discipline, so on and so forth. Let’s face it …everything has a side effect.

Life is precious

Originally posted 2019-06-01 06:17:25. My son… silly that he looks like he works out but he only works fork to mouth. You can see the vagal nerve stimulator in his chest to aid with his intractable seizure disorder – I never thought I’d see him reach 25 years old. He’s had meningitis and with his immune system the way it is they weren’t sure if he’d be able to fight it. My momma was there…

This is what took my momma

By Carter Family | by Carter Family

Originally posted 2018-07-03 14:31:06. From diagnosis to death was about 21 days. They think it had spread to my momma’s brain because of her mental status and neurological conditions. Plus the fact that her kidneys were not working likely caused by the cancer and kidney stones. My local doctor is going to run some tests considering both my grandmothers and now my momma died as a result of cancer. My bio father’s mother had brain…

This so hard

By Carter Family | by Carter Family

Originally posted 2018-06-17 22:22:17. Please continue to pray for strength and healing. This is by far one of the hardest things I think I have dealt with in my life. It literally feels like my heart is being ripped out of my chest. Her kidneys just aren’t recovering from the kidney stones and they need to start chemotherapy now. I am watching my mother fight so much but did say if for some reason something…
