The Face of Heart Failure

As he lays there beside me silently sleeping, I think to myself why am I still here in this marriage. It’s not like I get excited to see him when he comes home or I’m genuinely happy to see him. To be quite honest my husband doesn’t do it for me. Never has and probably never will. He just seems content with his life now the way that it is. I know deep down I settled because the one I truly wanted doesn’t want me in that way, but it doesn’t stop my longing for something much more meaningful than I am getting. I want a true partner who will not only excite me but will push me and challenge me to be better, not make me feel like I’m raising him. As it stands I feel nothing, but I have gotten real good at pretending . Something has got to change.

My beloved younger sister was diagnosed with endometrial cancer. We as a family are devastated. She is literally in for the fight of her life.  This is where she will have to tap into her reserved strength to get through this battle. I pray for healing and a renewed sense of purpose for my sister. I am going to be there for her every step of the way.

I am just grateful to God that we can be out in the open now and get back to being a family unit. I am also praying for a positive outcome for my sister Sandra who may have to have a hysterectomy in the near future. I am going to delay my shoulder surgery because we can't both be out of commission at the same time and I just don't trust my husband to pick up the slack without me telling him too. It would also mean giving him access to my account and I am not doing that. What I want us to do is to get a household checking account where we only use it to pay our rent lights and water from it only. I will talk to them about that. I have enough peop...

We got the approval for the new apartment. Now the real work begins.
