Naomi's Story
Update: February, 2012. I am in college full time at both Northland Community and Technical College locations; East Grand Forks and Thief River Falls. I am earning a degree in Business & Marketing Management. My daughter Chassy graduates in May 2012 from the U of M! My son is currently looking at new positions. Life is good and our 30 year reunion this past August, 2011 was FANTASTIC! I have added new photographs to that page, so check it out. All is well with the world. God Bless one and all. (Old Information here) : Chassy (my beautiful daughter) has chosen to finish her psychology degree at the U of M Minneapolis. (She graduates in May, 2012.) She has now graduated Northland Community and Technical College, with highest honors and an AA degree and a week later she graduated high school( May 2009 ) This summer I must let her go. This summer I must help her start her new life. This summer I must decide who I AM without her. This summer is full of many new beginnings. Personally, I'm not sure I'm ready to let her go. Aren't kids suppose to act up, get wild, drive us insane so we WANT them to move? She has done none of the rotten things I'd done by her age ( least none that I know of ~smile~)
The Man in Black and his two youngest boys are keeping me busy too. I'm not doing much these days. I had a heart attack back on Jan.14th, 2008. Since then, two stents and other complications but I'm telling you... I'M NOT GIVING UP. NOT in my character to do that. I know it's my past catching up with me but hey, I QUIT SMOKING TOO! After smoking since I was out of my little britches( 11 ) I quit with the help of a heart attack ~hee hee~ and CHANTEX! NO kidding. If you're looking to save money in the bank every month, give it a try. Had some pretty wicked dreams, but heck, saved money by NOT going to the movies...
Looking forward to a 30 year reunion now I suppose. I've not heard one word either way. So, I'd say the year 2011 will come up fast for most of us. I'm sure we've all seen the emails of the '25th reunion' and the skinny to fat guys and gals??? I can't wait. We're only human, and I'll be damned if I let a few (50)pounds get in the way of a few life saving hugs. You people are the most important.
Our lives are changing. My mother and father, who celebrated their 50th back in July 2008 at Lebanon Lutheran Church, are still hanging in there. D...Expand for more
ad is sick with Alzheimer's now. I adore that man and what scares me the most, is the man who loves me the most in life will soon forget me. His memories will fade and I have a need to keep them safe. Write it down. Tape record them. Anything to hang on... Dad is now in a nursing home full time and it is so hard to see him and not be affected by looking into his eyes while he looks at me and wonders who I am. Mom is home alone now without dad and is trying to learn to live differently as well. I love my trips to the cities. I cherish all those moments with family, friends, and relatives.
My mother is taking the brunt of it with us kids living all over. I am 300 miles away, but make it home every 2 months. Each time wondering how much my mother will age with the stress and how much my father will repeat himself and be angry because he knows he is sick and there is nothing he can do. Perhaps there are some of you out there dealing with the same thing? I've always thought myself lucky to have parents still married, still loving, still together and watching them age is a hurting' thing sometimes.
I am now in college at Northland full time myself! I am in the Sales & Marketing program and go to both the East Grand Forks campus and the Thief River Falls campus. It is busy and I love it. I know it is a little harder to study and remember what I am learning; age seems to affect the mind~ (No kidding!) Not sure when I will graduate, but it is okay with me to take my time, learn well, meet new people, and grow mentally and emotionally.
I guess that's my life these days. Taking care, moving on, not holding grudges (who needs more wrinkles?) Loving and living in the moment. Tell me about YOU. Where are all my old friends? What sights have you seen? What stories can you tell me? I think back to all the time, hours, days, weeks, YEARS we've all spent together. Walking to school, talking in the hall ways... You ALL are my past, we are all sharing the past. Knowing where we've come from can help us in the future. I never want to be ashamed or scared to pick up that phone and tell each and everyone of you what I'm thinking.
Be good, create, and dream.
Love and light, Naomi
I always wanted to be a an actress when I grew up. My family and friends thought that was a perfect idea. As it turns out, they were right... I now act like a student :).
