Let me start by saying I'm glad that I now get to blog from my phone whenever I'm not by my laptop at home (or when I'm not at one of the jobs that allow me to get on Spacehey during work hours).
Now for the serious shit - and it will be serious because I won't bother with styling some parts of my text here.
I found my mother on the toilet Friday morning, having a stroke. My father and I managed to carry her to her bed, then I immediately called 911. (Later that day, I would find out that my father was attempting to light the stove before he heard me panic, so for several hours, the stove was on low fire, slowly burning a piece of cardboard from a cereal box. We're lucky the house wasn't close to being burned down.)
My sister contacted me while I was quickly packing to go find my parents at whichever hospital the paramedics brought them to. Apparently, she woke up at 6:30am, hearing my mother call for her at her apartment. She wanted to check if our mother was okay. I told her everything and we rushed to the hospital.
On the way over to the ER, my mother's heart stopped three times. She was revived three times and put on an incubator for over 24 hours, quickly being transferred to the ICU.
Today, she is now able to only eat thick liquid meals so far and is transferred into a regular hospital room. There's a lot more going on with her condition, but I won't disclose that here. I'm just glad the medical staff is making sure she's healing correctly.
In other news, my boyfriend has been MIA. Normally, based on the conversation we last had together, we were willing to work out communication slowly as he's going through some stuff. However, five days is the longest I've experienced of him having zero contact me since the day I met him. Much like how he was worried losing me back in January during the California fires, I'm now worried that I could have lost him and not realize it.
He's only a few states away and I can't reach him or even take a chance at finding him because I'm locked here where I am, trying to help keep my mother alive.
Lord, or any deity out there who is willing to hear me out and help out of the goodness of your heart, please let me have both my mother and my boyfriend alive and well. Please.

I'm deeply sorry that all of this is happening to you all at basically the same time. That sucks so bad and I seriously hope things get better...
I wish you best for you and everything will get better soon <3
Thank you for your kind words. I will give you an update on what's been happening a bit.
My mother's condition, well, I explained a bit more recently in a new blog post I made, if you wish to check out my profile to find it.
As for my boyfriend, it's confusing. I decided to investigate a little with some suggestions from some of my friends, especially after 15 days of not hearing from him, but didn't get much out of whether or not he was alive until he finally messaged that evening. Still, it was invasive of me. I also haven't heard from him since then when he apologized for not being around and said valid reasons why, and things have been tough with the distance and time apart.
Not gonna get into it, but I'm still hoping either he and I can find our groove back or maybe we could just be friends - either way, I'm waiting to hear from him in order for us to figure it out together. I hate the unknown, not knowing where I stand in all this in my life, especially with my mother still in the state that she's in.
Again, thank you for your kind words. I'm also hoping for a miracle and/or clarity, at least. <3
