Helly's blog: "stuff"

as most of you know I have not been feeling to shit terrific hot the last while

this is not a whining blog but just want to share one of the most amazing young ladies I have ever had the fortune of knowing

Amanda

she is my staff ... shes 19 and I took a chance on her 2 years ago when she was being put out of her home because step daddy was more important .... she calls me the Mother she wish she had.

I figured out Mothers day she holds me in a special spot in her heart I am not sure what I did to deserve when she brought me flowers but what she has been doing since I have been unwell blows my mind.

Shes the one I called when I needed to run to emergency at random times in the middle of the night. Her and her boyfriend come no questions asked and after hours of waiting with me she would sleep for 2 hours and open my store. She has kept my store going while I was not able to be there locked up the store and come straight to my house to take my grocery list and bring me flowers. Jarred her boyfriend will just show up and do my yard work sometimes she is with him to weed as well. She comes in for her shift and passes me a gingerale cluing in its my new comfort addiction and takes a few minutes to look me over and determine if I am in pain or not ...if she sees any sign of it I am hustled out the door as fast as she can force me. The other day I walked into work after a lab visit to be presented with a purse "just because" .... Today has been one of many times there is a knock on my door and its her with dinner ( she determined to break me of my tomato soup and grilled cheese choice ) after chatting with me for a bit she left or so I thought I jumped in shower came out looked out window to see her and him washing my car. I get more hugs than I ever really cared to get in a day and more I love you than I dare think I deserve.

so now that I have shared my awe of this kid

mumm in a blog

do I keep telling her its ok I promise not to die anytime soon

or do I start groaning in pain louder and looking sickly hoping her next offer is to keep the store going without pay

:D

lol kidding

Just want to say there are some terrific young ones out there and I am lucky enough to have her

that is all
