Hard Times

By Chad Maddox

Sex is something special, a bonding of two significant individuals.
It’s what populates the world. A way of life as you can say.
The thing is sex can lead to problems. You see children can be cute,
adorable, and fun, but they can be a little trouble. Young people
are getting pregnant every day and are not ready for the
responsibility to care for a child. It would be smart to be
prepared for a child before producing one of your own to care
for and love the way a child should.

My parents are major role models for me. My dad has worked
every day of his life and Mom has spent the time caring for me.
My mother has had dinner waiting hot on the table for Dad as far
back as I can remember. I have always come first in my parent’s
lives. My father was on a great track team in High school and
had colleges calling every day with a new scholarship. The only
way he could go was a full ride. “All expense paid!” I remember
playing with his trophies when I was younger. My mother always
wanted to be a veterinarian because of her love for animals.
She always said if she could she would pick up every stray on
the road, take it home, and makes it hers. Splash, and all
their dreams were over. Yep, right down the drain. You see,
my parents didn't plan for this all, but who would imagine
these two 15-year-old high school students with hopes and
dreams. Then a speed bump like this. Neither of their
parents would allow them to stay with them. Actually,
my father’s parents didn't want anything to do with
the whole thing. Yeah! I bet it was hard to see the boy they created
and just trying their best to raise him the way he was.
Could you imagine your son coming home from school
and breaking the news? That's a discussion that
couldn't have gone down smooth.

My parents have told me all kinds of stories from back
when. We first lived in an apartment in LaGrange, Kentucky,
so my father could be closer to home. My mother told me
we ate potatoes every night. She said it was because they
were cheap and easy. My parents and I had every type of
potato and in every way possible. Mom still makes those
potatoes usually every day for dinner and laughs about
the way we still love them. Dad soon had a full time job
as a plumber and had gotten a G.E.D. for high school.
While my father left every day for work my mother would
stay home to care for me. I really don't remember a lot
about the apartment. Mom would put me in the stroller and
walk to the store every now and then. Of course we didn't
have any money but she would stroll around the store looking.
'One day. One day, Chad, we will be able to buy anything
we would like.' The thing that amuses me still today is
that no matter what happened. Whether it was the electricity
was cut or Dad ached so bad you couldn't touch him from all
his pain, they never looked back. The bad things didn't tear
them down, just made them stronger. I think they both knew
as long as we were all together we would be okay. I'm not
quite sure I could do the things they did for me. I have
learned so much from my parents and their struggle. To
think with a paid scholarship my Dad could do anything
beyond his wildest dreams. And Mom, Mom could be running
her own animal clinic or a big farm with all the dogs she
would like. I think of what could have happened if I
weren't born and can't help but be sad. In a way, I
single-handedly ruined their lives. I know it wasn't
my fault. Things happened like God intended. Things
did work out for the best, though. We now own 160 acres
in Munfordville. Dad has that big truck he has always
dreamed of and Mom got her animals all right. We have 5
goats, around 10 chickens, 3 dogs, and 3 cats to keep
her company. And don't worry about my grandparents, we
all enjoy spending time together. Today my dad’s father
will tell you he would have never guessed things would
have worked out the way they did. After a long seventeen
years, my parents held strong through the hard times.

Chad & My 1st hours together
I wanted to share this memory with everyone, It's one of my most precious one's with Chad. The day I went into labor with Chad was a very long day and night I went threw about 24 hrs. Of hard labor. See the Saddle Block I had from the Doctor didn't do the job it was suppose to do until the very last push I had to give.  So to say the least it hurt very much and I felt everything up until that point. I finally gave birth to a tiny little baby we named Chad at 1:24 A.M.  He weighed 6pds.& 13oz. He was 19 inches Long and had a head full of black hair.  Oh he was sooooooo cute!! They had took him from Brian and I for a while so we could get some rest and I went back to the room to sleep.  Brian went home so he could rest.  I woke up at I think it was around 5:00 A.M. and I didn't know what time it was.  I called Brenda Smith one of my best friends, she was getting up for school and I told her "I had my baby Chad" we talked for a while and I thought "I want to see my baby".  So I got up and walked down to the nursery and ask the nurses if I could hold my baby and of course they said yes and gave me a rocking chair. I remember it like it was yesterday sitting there as they handed my Chad to me and I just rocked and rocked.  Chad was just looking at me and I was just looking at him and just smiling at him.  I was so proud of him, He was awake for a while.  I was singing to him and off to sleep he went.  That was the most proudest moment in my life, knowing that I had a one of a kind boy that I would devote the rest of my life to  raising him, taking care of him, and giving him the most... out of  life I could.  I knew I was the luckiest woman in the world to have had such a wonderful Beautiful baby boy named

Happy Birthday Son
Love your Mom Always

Light a Candle
Light a candle for those we mourn.
Into a new life they will be born.
Do not look for them at the gravesite.
They are somewhere else radiating their beautiful light.
They have gone to a new world where there is no darkness, no
pain.
Their light and essence will always remain.
Light a candle for those who have left this mortal place.
They are free to travel through time and space.
When we think of them, they are near.
When we sit in a beautiful garden. Their voices we hear.
When we listen to a divine symphony,
We close our eyes, their faces we see.
Light a candle for they have not really gone.
With each flickering flame, in your hearts they will always belong.
