Remembering June 5, 2000
Have you ever had a date planted in your brain you can't get rid of? Well i have a nack for remembering dates. Good dates, birthdays, anniversaries, and bad dates....when Justin fell out of a two story window and can live to tell about it- Sept. 9, 1998 in College Park, Ga.
Kristina busted out her front teeth from a bike accident, June 12, 2002 in Simpsonville, SC. Then there is the most famous date that is edged in my brain. June 5, 2000 when Jessica had to have surgery to remove a brain tumor. This story actually started in May of 2000 when Jessica started to have really bad headaches. We thought she was having them because she had broken her glasses. We were living in Bluffton, SC near Hilton Head, SC at the time. We took her to the ER on June 3rd that night when she started throwing up and she was not able to walk on her own. The doctor was baffled at first and then decided to run a CAT scan of her head. That is when he found a mass in the back of her head the size of a baseball. This is when the Moffitt family would not be the same ever again. They stablized her and sent her by ambulance to MUSC in Charleston, SC. We (the rest of the family, grabbed clothes and headed to Charleston to be with our little girl.
You can read more about what happened on our web page at: http://www.lightourworld.com
and look in the link to the memorial page. I still have the diary i kept when Jessica was going through treatment.
After the diagnoses it was rather a blur but we eventually moved to Charleston to begin Jessica's treatment that lasted for 14 months.
Each year on this date i start remembering all the things we went through and all the emotions that we felt. Jessica is gone from earth but she is never forgotten from our hearts or our minds.
On a lighter note, I have an interview for a teaching job in St. Stephen at a middle school. This is about 45 minutes away from us. It is not close but it is the beginning of looking for a teaching job. There is also an opening at College Park Middle school as well.
At this point I am willing to go where ever God is will to open the door. At first i mainly wanted to work at the elementary level but now i am open to go where ever he leads.
Will let you know how it works out with the interview.
