Personal Narrative: My Mother's Husband
Opening of Eyes
Have you ever had a day that changed the way you think, well I have. This day for me was the day my nephew, Kryian James Guthrie, was born. I was the first to find out that my sister, Meggan, was pregnant. She, at first, didn’t want me to know that she thought she might be pregnant. I was helping her shop for her and her husband’s, Tyler, trip to Cody for the hot air balloon rally. Meggan and I were at Albertson getting the food need for the trip, we thought we had everything we just need to get razors. Meggan was looking at the different razors, “Brat can you go and get chicken breasts we forgot to grab them.” She asked me.
I thought nothing of it at first, “Sure no problem I will meet up with you at the checkout lane.”

We went back down to the living room, which is where my mom was with the birthing pool, and waited for Megg and Tyler to get back. However in that time my mom called my dad to come get me so that I could start on dinner.
“Brit I need you to get back home and make lasagna. Everything you might need is on the counter. Dad will bring you back up here when it is go time.” My mom explained.
I followed my mom directions and went home. My dad arrived to get me to bring me home. While at home I went right to making lasagna: browning the meat, boiling the noodles, mixing the meat and the spaghetti sauce. I went to layering the lasagna, noodles meat sauce over and over till the pan is full.

I am instructed to hold them both up, it very hard. With one final long push, outcomes the baby. One of the trainee midwifes yells out that it is a baby is a little boy. The midwives are working to do the basic out of womb care for the little boy that just was brought into the world. The midwives need to know the name of the baby so that they could put it on the birth certificate. Megg looked at Tyler, “His name is Kryian James.”
I called my father who only made it to the fifth street railroad crossing, he came speeding back to my sister’s house. He tells it with a little flare with the train gates coming down as he drove like a bandit to get to my house. Once he got to Megg’s house he ran inside to see the little bugger whom he calls Mike. My father got to the room we were all in, where he saw the baby and his eyes filled up with tears of joy.
The midwives leave the room so that Megg could be alone, they also knew that there was lasagna down stairs. I leave with them so I could get the lasagna for Megg I brought her a big piece. Tyler and my dad decided to go have a smoke because the birth was so stressful they needed it. So I was left in the room with my sister all alone, she looks at me and ask, “I need you to take him so I can get into a more comfy

    I want to start off by saying how excited I am to be joining A Place for Mom!! I started my career in health care nine years ago, originally working in nursing. I have worked in a variety of health care settings; Independent/Assisted Living, Memory Care, Long Term Care, Skilled Care, and the Hospital. I always knew I wanted to help people, seniors in particular. As a child I grew up living next door to my grandparents and did everything with them, this is where my love for seniors began. While working in the Hospital I came to the conclusion that nursing was not the way I was going to help people. I began working at an Assisted Living Community in Ames, Iowa as the Sales Director. I quickly learned that, that was how I was going to help people. For three years I got the pleasure of not only helping many families relieve their stress and fears for their loved ones care and safety, but I was also able to ensure their loved ones were able to live out their final years thriving. It was truly the most rewarding job, which brought me to A Place for Mom. At A Place for Mom I won't be limited to helping just the families that…

    As the car got a bit near, it seemed to be an injured man. As fast as a jaguar, the car had lost its control. Mom couldn’t apply brakes. It looked as if an accident is going to take place. The car stopped making a dreadful noise. We looked back there was no one. Mom got off the car. Looked around. What was it? Was it a zombie? Or really a man? We were truly scared. My heart was beating like anything. We reached home-safe and sound. What happened that night nobody knows. We didn’t share this incident with anyone. It was forgotten and considered only a rainy…

    I always looked forward to spaghetti nights. As soon as I walked in the door I was taken over by the amazing essence as mom was cooking in the kitchen, preparing the glorious meal. Mother always made the best spaghetti. I do not know if it was the special noodles she would buy, the way she prepared the meat, or the fresh vegetables she would mix in with the sauce that would make the taste surpass all the others, but there is no better spaghetti out there to challenge hers. The tease of sitting in the living room, witnessing this feast be prepared was worth the wait once we sat down together. The table was set, the prayer was said, and then it was every man for himself (herself in mom’s case) as we dug into the long awaited meal.…
