As many of you already know, I have
several health issues. I have had three TIAs (strokes) being that two of those
were last year. I suffer from fibromyalgia, neuropathy, migraines,
seizures.... and some other stuff with long names. The doctors can't
do much for me anymore, just keep me on medicine to control the
migraines. The pain from the fibromyalgia is just ever present as
there is nothing that really helps.
For some unexplainable reason when I am
up in the mountains I feel better. The doctors say it's
psychological, I say it's God's doing.
My sweet husband, Mr Kute, sole
provider of our household since I became ill back in 2003, has been
working 70+ hours/week to support us and is at the same time building a small house for us up in NC. He is doing most of the work
himself with some help. We have been building since 2010, slowly, out
of pocket so we don't add a second mortgage to our already tight
budget.
He works here and every break he gets
we drive up and he does a little work there.
Last week we were there and on the way
down back to FL, I asked him how much it would cost us to purchase
materials for the roof over the front porch. The house has a roof
already but we couldn't afford the roof over the porch. He told me it
would be around $600.
I thought that it was something that I
could crochet like a mad woman and raise that amount. I really want
to do this, I really want my roof and I want to look at it and feel
good about myself, that I helped my husband.
So I talked to some friends from etsy on facebook. These sweet people that I have only met online have
offered to donate a few items to help me.
You see, when I told Mr Kute that I
wanted to make money for the roof, he grinned and being married to
the man for almost 32 years I know what he was thinking - 'it's
gonna take her forever to raise that kind of money'.
Well, he was not counting that I had so
many awesome friends.
