Jenise Musing

Jenise has been rolling out astonishing poetry. It is older than she is and just flows from her like it did from me 
But it is better. She can write freestyle, an art I never quite mastered or even understood.

My Grandchildren

In order of birth: Lindsey Perton, Jessalynn Fitzgerald, Joey Manning, Jenise Belk, Michelle Manning, Robert Belk, Jasmine Avant, Riley Belk, and Kira Mundell. I barely know some of them, but I love all of them. I even have a great granddaughter I dont know at all, Addie. Lindsey was the first and was my world for her first 5 years. Or at least what my world revolved around. I still had teenage daughters and even a husband for family those years, but we all seemed to revolve around Lindsey.  Jami and John, Lindsey's father, had a lot of problems. Lindsey was born 1lbs 11oz. I flew to San Antonio when Jami called and said she was in labor and I got there about an hour after she was born. She was unbelievably tiny but she was born a survivor. She was only on oxygen a very short time and then breathing on her own. She did suffer a small brain bleed but the blood absorbed without surgery and we wouldn't think about it again for years. One doctor told us that she likely had cerebr...

Jessalynn 19 Today

Everyone is ready for today to be painful for me. It is but, like after any death, the pain does lessen with time. I know she will never be back in my life or ever know or care how badly she hurt me.  Accepting that puts it in the rearview.   I regret lashing out at her, trying to hurt her for hurting me. I don't even know what all I said. I just remember looking at her stony, angry face seeing everything I said bounce off of her hatred and disgust for me. I do not regret deciding she couldn't talk to me that way. Maybe my fault for ever making her think she didn't have to be respectful of me in my home. But then, Who would think disrespect had to be explained to a grown grandchild?? Her birthday will pass just fine.

Just Heartbroken

I'm sure I have been this heartbroken several times. Doesn't make it any easier.  I miss Jessalynn so much still every day!! My mind just goes over an over it all day and night. I miss her so much I start to wonder if I should have just let it go that she said I was treating Jeremy disgustingly.  The voice that says that is SO LOUD, especially at night. I know I shouldn't have just let it go but the hard part is that my reaction was definitely wrong. I lash out when I am deeply wounded. Well. This time I ran away, hoped for an apology, Then lashed out way too harshly when I didn't get one.  Disgusting.  How could she think that?? How could she say that??  I hate that I KNOW she feels that she said Nothing Wrong. She has Never treated me with Respect. I noticed it most when she was in high school but I world"let it slide" figuring she just needed to grow up. She grew up even more disrespectful.   Why would I miss someone like that?? I do have other h et...
