1 down 3 to go!!!!!!!!!!!

today started as a normal day....until I got a phone call from a friend telling me that my best friend was in respritory failure.  I called her mom and verified that indeed she was, and they were putting her on lung bypass as we spoke. Well that's when my day got complicated. You see my best friend just happens to be the mother of my step children...My husbands X wife. I had to look her 15 year old daughter in the eye and tell her that her mother was now in intencive care, and things were touch and go....we got ourselves together and headed for the hospital, to the micu unit waiting room, and waited not so patiently for some one to come out and tell us something. ANYTHING!!! Then I got a text message!!!! My 14 year old daughter Bretta was sending me a message. Now that might not sound real exciting to you, so let me tell you the rest of the story..If you have read any of my bloggs you've seen that long ago I made alot of bad choices in my life..the biggest one of those was getting involved in drugs, and walking off and abandoning my 4 children. now let me say that I have been clean for almost 6 years....but was so afraid to face my mistakes that I let myself believe that  my babies were better off without me...today i learned that i was wrong, in every aspect! my baby found me on face book! I now had a chance of a lifetime!!! MY baby still loves me and needs me in her life...we have talked all day...and texted when we wern't talking...for a day that started out tragic...it sure ended slindedly...My friend is now in stable condition and is responding well to treatment...and my daughter is back in my life....now if I could only find the other 3, I'd finally be complete...but for now, I am over joyed beond belief....I love you Bretta paige...this was the best christmas gift I could have ever recieved....
