what a year scott gets renal disease(kidney failure) we have a falling out with my parents and are currently NOT speaking! it really irritates me when people are so non sympatetic about life criseses. when i was in the hospital with scott and he had a minor stroke my parents were out of town (even though ace people had the store under control) my mother was more concerned about ace than the fact i was with scott in the hospital and wanted me to leave the hospital and go to work(even when i called in) i mean it could have killed him thank the lord it didnt. i know the heavenly father has BIG plans for my husband & I. and i know in the past i have had many times when i didnt speak with my parents and it got better well this is NOT one of them. i recently had my b-day and they decided that was perfect timing to send a hate letterrather than nothing or a card. telling my how unpleased they are with me and that we have issues, yeah its called KIDNEY FAILURE AND HAVING TO BE ON DIALYSIS TO LIVE!!!! i dont mean to bash people and if anyone is in good standing with my parents im happy for you. im just not one of them i was told "time will be long." but i think it will be forever. they refused to give us scotts dialysis machine until we got the police involved. i mean thats what keeps him ALIVE each day. its not easy i actually struggle with this EVERY day. and doing at home is a blessing from GOD, really im not kidding either. but it doesnt make it any easier emotionally. i love you all and happy new year its been a good one so far, keep up those prayers. Scott, Tanya & Archie
