My fellow Blackberry users:
Expect multiple messages from me today discussing how my day is being wasted by listening to strangers tell me that I shouldn’t tell parents to ‘fuck off’ if I’m angry at them and I should also not participate in wet t-shirt contests in my spare time. Even if I know I could win. (Because let’s face it, I would). I will try to keep the swearing down to a minimum. Ditto excessive exclamation marks (which will be the only way I feel I can clearly illustrate my rage).
Sorry in advance,
Maya

So there
Ok, so life has changed. A lot! I'm not happy with it, but I have to somehow pick up the pieces. I've been stuck in the deepest, darkest hole for days. I haven't slept well because my mind is focused on my daddy.
My family and I have lost something that will never be replaced. It's been absolutely devastating. Most of my friends have been wonderful. Most have even respected my wishes. Others have been distant and unapologetic for their own selfish reasons. It's really sad to say, but it really leaves a lasting taste. There is no excuse for their behavior. Unfortunately it has changed me. I'm always going to remember their actions or lack their of. I'm going to do what daddy would do -- he would never judge them, he would pray for them.
I'm not going to waste anymore energy on wondering why. I'm going to focus on Daddy's causes and his legacy. I'm a proud daughter.
In other news, we recieved a card from 'Monica' who was there when Mommy had to stop CPR at 10:25, who helped us throughout the entire process. She touched on how close my entire family was, how odd it is to see that these days. She was inspired by our bond and how our extended family and friends trickled in as they heard the news. She picked up the phone and called her own parents in AZ and told them how much she loved them. Just another person that my sweet daddy touched.
I spent most of my adult life taking care of daddy. I even have questions as to if I did enough. I basically moved them in to my house 2 hours away from our home in McLean. I just ask that you spend time with your parents, let them know how much you love them because this has been the worst pain I've ever experienced. AML was a walk in the park. I've lost a brother--that was hard. Losing my daddy has been a nightmare. I did everything I could for daddy. I wouldn't want anyone else to ever experience this pain with doubts.
It's raining, it's foggy. It's ugly out. I hope my day goes better.

My world has turned upside down
With daddy's passing, the world has been turned upside down. Today has been bad. I miss him more and more each day. I can't believe it's been 17 days since I've seen him. I keep thinking that I will wake up from this and I will see him soon. Only this is real.
I came home to my house alone tonight. It was the scariest, loneliest feeling in the world. I miss him sooo much. Everywhere I go, people are still apologizing.
T--I'm sorry about the flowers from you and Chris. I don't want any reminders of his death. I know you meant well, but I can't handle flowers. That was a very nice gesture.
Dirty Dancing is on right now and it's nice to see a young, healthy, sexy, Patrick Swayze.
Mommy had another bad day, with many more to come.
My relationship with God has grown stronger. He knows how much I miss my daddy.
I'm sick of crying. To bed I go.

A New Day
So I went to daddy yesterday, I watched the sunset there and I just told him about my day. I went to bed feeling scared and alone. This morning I woke up upset because he isn't here and I said to myself that this is real, not a dream.
Does anyone know how to preserve the smell on clothes? Any secrets or suggestions?
Mommy is cleaning my house! Normally it's me doing all the work. I guess it helps her feel better. Whatever works. It's better than seeing her just crying. Yesterday was awful for all of us. She told her sister that it hit her like a ton of bricks that he's gone and he's not coming back. I'm actually going to talk to a medical professional. Im an emotional roller coaster. I was told i'm still in denial by someone who knows firsthand what i'm dealing with.
Daddy's death has brought me closer to God. I know I can count on God to get me through this. One day I will see him again. I just have to realize that daddy was ready, he was tired, and when he told me in the hospital bed before he passed that he wanted to go home, he meant home to eternity. He fought a good fight for 18 years. I enjoyed everyday, every minute I spent with him. He's the only man I ever trusted. He was the man that held me tight when I was scared. He helped me through so many things. Now I turn to him and ask what would daddy do?
I'm going to make today a good day. I'm tired of crying all of the time.

Its been 13 days
It's been 13 days since I last held his hand. It's been 13 days since I last saw his beautiful face with life. It's been 13 days since I saw that smile that lit up a room. It's been 13 days of torture.
My life has been turned upside down. I miss him so much. I still look for him and I imagine him with me everywhere I go. I'm assuming these are coping mechanisms.
I always knew he was sick and as much as the doctors tried to 'prepare' us for this, you never get prepared for death. It's the loneliest, most awful feeling in the world. I have always been a daddy's girl so a part of me went on with him when he passed.
My sisters and brothers all have children, significant others. I chose to take care of daddy and subconciously I put my life on hold. I lived and breathed with my daddy. So when my family tells me I have to get it together, I can't! I am a daddy's girl who was hooked at his hip.
My mother refuses to throw away the flowers. The smell breaks my heart even more each time I smell that awful scent. I've never liked the smell of flowers anyway.
I am sitting across from daddy's chaise. I imagine him sitting there and drinking his coffee. I imagine him smiling at me without being in pain.
I really had a lot of great times with him. I miss his singing. I miss his wink*. Life has been horrible lately. I have put all of my faith in God who will get me thru this.
Please keep us in your prayers. This has been the worst experience of my life. But God only gives me as much as I can handle.

Family
Most of you have already heard from me and have heard about what went down lastnight. We didn't end up going to the Chris Issac concert because Haven got bent out of shape. I adore my sister and I adore my family. It's has always been family first.
Today has been ugly. It has been downright nasty. I'm always having a crisis of some sort with my family. Mostly because we see too much of each other. This one is different because there is an innocent person involved.
I understand and I have a lot of empathy for Haven and her postpartum. I would do anything for her at any cost. Lastnight wasn't cool with me.
I'm not mad at Haven. I'm mad because I allowed this to happen. I'm afraid there is no fixing anything at this point. I dont blame my family. Only, I'm the one to blame. I allowed all of this to happen. I know there is no undoing what was done now.
I can live without my family. I just hope I can live with myself.
There is only one way to fix it and I'm going to do it as soon as the dust settles. In the meantime I'm going on hiatus for a while and most of you won't be hearing from me for a while. Cross your fingers.
I'm off to my grandparents tonight to help them, my house will be empty when I get back. I'm happy that way.
**Daddy is doing ok**

Highlight of the Year
Meeting Michelle Obama and her girls. They stopped in for an impromptu visit. The CIA shut down the Caverns for 3 hours while they where siteseeing. They were in awe. They were courteous, but not allowing cameras because it was a private visit.
Michelle looked chic in khaki capri's and a lemon colored blouse. Very trendy and cute. I thought she was always attractive but seeing her in person does not do her justice. The girls are actully cuter in person too.
They bought souvenirs and shopped around in the gift shop.
They went on to eat at Brookeside Restaurant in Luray where Michelle had a turkey burger, no bun, and roasted summer veggies. The kids had burgers and fries, and the grandmother had a grilled chicken salad. Then they all left in Black Surbuban SUV's. Valerie Jarrett was very cool too, I should add.
They then went on to Charlottesville and visited Monticello. Their visits were educational as well.

Hola!
Daddy has had a very nice weekend. He's been actually going out of the house and spending time outdoors. It's better than sleeping all day in a bedroom. His doctors adjusted his medications and is more alert, more active. He's not quite back to his old self, but I will take what I can get! Last weekend they said "There is nothing more we can do, he's dying." My life has changed tremendously because of that one statement.
As for me I'm back to excercising and dieting. I am managing to do 30 mins of cardio each day and I also swim about 20 laps everynight before my shower, before bed. I'm dealing with a nasty cold but I am hoping to get over that quickly!!!!
My girlfriends are planning our annual Girls trip. We're thinking of doing a ten day, ten major city tour. It's still up in the air. We shall see.
I haven't been working much because I have a lot of things going on at home that involves my paw paw and my daddy. Work will always be there.
Whats new with you?

Thanks
Thanks for the many phone calls, voicemails and emails! In the short few hours that I posted the last blog I've had many people voice their concern. I said earlier "I'm dying with him" I meant a part of me is dying too. I can't even think straight or clearly. I apologize for being so vague! I'm not a quitter and I would never hurt myself.
Just pray for my daddy. We've been told it's only a matter of hours or days. I've been told this for years and I want to stay positive. He's heavily medicated and tends to sleep a lot.
Haven is here with Luke. Ian is sleeping on the couch, Becca is sleeping in Isaiah and Chandler's room tonight. My house is full and it's so quiet.
We all had the talk today after my doctors appointment. I started yelling and screaming and lashing out because their burying him before he's even dead. It wasn't pretty. It wasn't. I was mean. I made my brother cry. He told me that I need to get myself because I'm a basketcase. I couldn't help it. I lashed out at them. We later apologized and we all sat by the pool and just watched the sunset. I just want a million more sunrises and sunsets with my daddy. What kills me is I know that I won't.
I love him so much.

Update on Daddy
Daddy is home with us. He's weak. He's tired. We've been told what this means. I just pray for more time with my daddy. Please, Please pray for us. He's my everything. I just don't know what to do with myself. I'm a wreck. I'm scared to death. His friends from NoVa are trickling in. They all know it's time. I just want my daddy forever. I'm dying with him.

100 things you need to know
100. Girls enjoy always having something kind of wrong, like a headache or cramping or something. Remember: No matter how bad it sounds, she's going to outlive you.
99. Most women will not have sex for the first time with a guy unless their legs are shaved. If your date shows up and you spot stubble, she's trying to keep herself in line.
98. No matter how much she reassures you, if you can't get a hard-on, she'll assume you're not attracted to her.
97. Beware of your girlfriend's single party friend or gay bud. They want her to be single with them and will encourage any bad behavior as often as possible.
96. Jewelry. Now you always know what to get her for a last-minute gift.
95. The sight of you in your socks and underwear is the biggest turn-off in the world.
94. Never trust a girl who has few girlfriends. She doesn't get along with other women because she's either bat-shit crazy or just plain mean.
93. Girls who say "I love sports" are lying. Girls who ask you what time the game is on, without specifying which game they're talking about, are not.
92. A random hookup is more likely to result in pregnancy, because a woman has more sex when she's most fertile.
91. She still has all the love letters and cards from her past boyfriends.
90. Just started dating? Women want you to drive, even if it's their car.
89. A girl would prefer to get a $100 gift from Tiffany & Co. than a $500 gift from Fortunoff. Why? Because her friends will ask where she got it!
88. If I give you my number on Friday, Tuesday and Wednesday are your best bets to score a date. Monday is too desperate and Thursday is too late (Claire, 27).
87. Your female coworkers are obsessed with the fact that on average they receive less pay than male counterparts and the fact that they work less overtime and get pregnant is irrelevant to the discussion.

72. During emergencies, women are likely to remain calmer than men, though it should be noted that inventing minor crises on a weekly basis gives them more practice.
71. Women grow hairs in a lot of the same places that men do i.e. lower abdomen and nipples, we just get rid of them (Katie, 26).
70. Unless they're lesbians, she won't approve of your hanging out with other girls. Even if they're ugly. And, really, even if they're lesbians.
69. If you have something to hide, she'll find it.
68. Eighty-five: The number of males per 100 females in Gary, Indiana (lowest male-to-female ratio of any city with a population of 100,000-plus). The highest male-to-female ratio is in Salinas, California: 114 males for every 100 females.
67. Kiss her before two dates have gone by or you'll be friend-ed.

56. Women ingest about half the lipstick they apply, which means they eat approximately one to three sticks per year.
54. A woman might say she just wants sex, but sleep with her for a while and she'll change her tune. I've known so many women who think they can pull this off, but they always develop feelings for the guy (Evie, 22).
53. According to the American Association of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Angelina Jolie's lips were the most requested celebrity feature among all female patients in 2004.
52. Despite always complimenting another woman's short haircut, she secretly celebrates having one less competitor, since men prefer long hair.

44. A psycho jealous girl will do anything to keep her man: including anal.

37. Women's public bathrooms are about three times more disgusting than men's.
36. At one point or another, I've gone through your things looking for any evidence from past relationships. I'm talking photographs, postcards, mementos, address books, diaries.

35. Like you, girls hate nothing more than a clingy partner who needs them every eight seconds.
34. Chick rock strikes a deeply primal chord inside women while simultaneously revolting men. Just sit back and let her sing the Sarah McLachlan or Ani DiFranco song. It's only about four minutes long.

37. Women's public bathrooms are about three times more disgusting than men's.
36. At one point or another, I've gone through your things looking for any evidence from past relationships. I'm talking photographs, postcards, mementos, address books, diaries.

35. Like you, girls hate nothing more than a clingy partner who needs them every eight seconds.

What a girl wants
I want fresh squeezed lemonade, a sidewalk cafe, and a female friend. I want the perfect sundress and sunglasses. I want a self cleaning house and a self-refilling checking account. I want porch furniture and a thunderstorm. I want a freaking in-person conversation. I want a new pair of flip flops and some flirty sandals. I want to make some new friends. I want bookshelves and throw pillows. I want my family to go back to normal. I want everyone to communicate soley through email/text messages and in person conversations. I want to write letters and have them answered with letters…on paper…sent with a stamp. I want a workout routine I enjoy. I want a limitless decorating budget to Pottery Barn. I want to go on a date with my best friend, all dressed up. I want a novel that sucks me in and leaves me breathless. I want clear water, sandy beaches, and fresh mangoes. I want the slip and slide I had when I was nine and watermelon cut off the rind. I want to have a sleepover with my girl friends, complete with chick flicks, pop corn, and boy talk. I want air in my bike tires and trips to the park. I want to feel like I don’t waste my days. I want a part time job that pays like a full time job, benefits, and free peach ice tea. I want a device that reads my favorite blogs to me while I cook or write letters. I want some more. And some smores. I want a blank book, unlined, with my favorite pen. I want sunscreen that smells like Coconut and a bowl of fresh picked strawberries. I want to change my point of view. I want to step out of my comfort zone. I want to go back to my senior year in high school and talk myself out of teasing my father about going to Tech. I want Ina Garten to teach me how to cook and George Carlin to be my buddy. I want someone to hold me accountable for missing my workouts. I want calorie free ice cream and baby spinach that’s less than $2.00 a package. I want a glass pitcher on my counter and fresh flowers on my table. I want cheap beer, a live band, and a slightly slutty outfit. I want a manicure that doesn’t hurt and an eyebrow wax. I want a simple silver necklace that goes with everything. I want to write a weekly column for a local paper, without topic or genre, just “The World According to Amaya.” I want to find the other Friends Season 1 that I've lost. I want to be better about asking for what I need. I want to be a little more open with the people who love me. I want to skip the uncomfortable “what’s going on” phone call with the parent I hung up on and just have things go back to semi-normalcy. I want a fairy godmother that will plan my sister's wedding and pull it off, all for $1,000. I want a top shelf long island, 70 degrees, and a patio at sunset. I want a new wardrobe, a better sense of what tomorrow will bring, Los and a pony.
Ok, maybe not a pony.
Ok, maybe not a pony.

Tonight
Tonight Michael Jackson's spirit is free and I'm channeling him. Becca and I are watching old videos of this genius. It's sad you see, because there will never be another like him.
We can't choose our favorite MJ video.
I'm loving Dirty Diana a lot right now.
http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fl4-VyPR4Hs
or
You Rock My World
http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3wShd_bX8A
And the one that made me cry; not because it's a great song, but because I remember as a child in the backseat of my parents car on road trips with my brothers and sisters where we would each sing a part of this song. I love being a child of the 80's
http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzw6GiqZyD0
I have a feeling Michael was deeply disconnected. Madonna was at one time too, however Kabbalah saved her. Michael never got reconnected. Tonight Michael's soul is free and he's moonwalking in heaven. I know Brent and Erin must be starstruck and very happy to have him there.
RIP MJ!

How does it happen?
Maybe you meet in a coffee shop- no, of course you don’t, who ever meets in a coffee shop? Maybe you meet in a crowded pub when his beer splashes your arm and as you wipe it dry you rack your brain thinking of all the clever things you always wanted to say if you were ever to meet a boy like this. Or maybe you meet through friends or online or maybe you meet at work- and through a handful of casual conversations discussing weekend plans and the weather you decide you like this boy.
However it happens, you meet.
You have all those conversations that you suspect no one else ever has. A thousand inside jokes are born, a million stories are filed away, kept safe for you to bring up and reference later just to show this person that you remember everything they’ve told you. That you feel all their stories are valuable enough to keep forever- worthy of you shoving aside room in your already crowded head for the memories they hold dear. You remember the name of his cousin he ran out of school with on the first day of school, you laugh as he tells you stories of himself as a child and while driving to work you find yourself humming the tune he said he’d play at our wedding.
It’s easy, at first. The jokes, the stories, the late nights discussing everything your mind touches. No topic is left untouched, no opinion is not worth sharing. You sometimes feel empty- not as though you are less but as though you’ve shared everything you could and it feels wonderful.
Of course you are amazed that someone feels the same way. You are surprised by their thoughtful gestures, their words, the way they remember what kind of flowers you like and goes out of his way to ship them from Madagascar. The stories they save to tell you, the way they know exactly what words will save you when you are upset, the letter they write to principals of the world demanding they hire you when you admit you are scared you will never get a job. You are surprised by it all- each action, each word more than anything you ever could have admitted wanting. And although there’s a multitude of factors involved that are less than perfect, you find yourself marveling at how perfect your world is.
Time goes by. Quirks become less endearing, words have double meaning, reality fills in the cracks, you go to bed angry. You go to bed sad. Not only because you are seeing that it’s not as easy as it once was- but because you discover there are times neither of you are willing to back down, neither of you are willing to stop something that’s started, to call a time out and wait until cooler heads prevail. You are sad to realize that there are times when you would both rather be right than happy. And you are heartbroken to discover that perhaps what you want isn’t the same thing at all.
And what worries you isn’t the fight at hand or the heartbreak that you currently feel, it’s the idea of someone who has become so important to you ever leaving. You know that such thoughts make you sound crazy, like the girl you vowed you’d never be but you play games where you lift him out of your life and see where the empty gaps are and suddenly you realize how much this person adds to your world- and how different it would be if they were gone. Of course you know you would survive without them but it’s the idea that you don’t want them to go, that with a clear realization of how dramatic it all sounds- that you are happier with them than without, which keeps you up at night.
So you are left with a choice, you are always left with a choice. You can choose to accept this person as they are- in any form you can have them, without conditions or restraints even if it means it’s less than what you hoped for or you can not have them at all and live in a world that’s a little more grey. And so you choose them. Of course, you choose them. There may not be a fairy tale ending, your heartbreak might engulf you for a time- but you will crawl out of all of it with a good friend beside you who will remind you of how perfect your world can be, even if only for a little while.
And that is how it is.

Through my eyes
Things I believe in….
I believe that “sleeping on it” always helps figure out life’s big problems. Unless you are sleeping on a rock, then I’m against it.
I believe if your $15 lip gloss makes you feel like a million bucks, it’s worth it.
I believe that the only thing more dangerous than a president with a narrow minded personal agenda, is a public who votes him into office. Twice.
I believe in forgiving people, not for them, but for yourself. I believe, this is easier said than done.
I believe that everyone belongs to someone.
I believe that drinking alone doesn’t make you an alcoholic. Only drinking alone, maybe…
I believe that a true, honest, platonic friendship rarely can occur between a man and woman, but that it can occur. I believe I’m cynical about this because I’m much more like Harry than Sally.
I believe the hardest lesson to learn is that you can’t help who you love, and trying to understand why you do, will lead to a weekly therapist appointment and a strange love affair with late night television.
I believe that you don’t have to call your best friend at 3am, to prove she’s your 3am friend.
I believe everyone looks prettier when they are happy and are happier when they are feeling pretty.
I believe in thank you notes, tipping even when the food wasn’t great, and solo break dancing performances at weddings.
I believe that crying when your sports team loses a big game is perfectly acceptable- crying every time they lose a game, is not.
I believe in regrets, and that I’m a girl who needs to say I have them.
I believe every song sounds better live, every pie tastes better homemade and every shoe is more fabulous when it’s on sale.
I believe teachers are undervalued. I believe I think this because I am, was, a) a teacher and b) someone who sees on a daily basis the gigantic impact a teacher has on students. I also believe that anyone who utters the phrase ‘two month holiday’ in regards to how easy teachers have it, has never heard the phrase ‘ school wide lice outbreak’.
I believe that money provides freedom, and freedom provides happiness.
I believe “I’m sorry” always sounds better than “I apologize”.
I believe you can love someone more deeply and clearly than ever before, and still be the absolutely wrong person for them. I believe that knowing this, doesn’t always bring comfort, in fact, it usually doesn’t.
I believe that a woman should choose what she does with her body. I also believe, that abortion shouldn’t be used as a form of birth control. I believe that this is a topic that needs more than three sentences to be fully explained.
I believe opening your presents on Christmas Eve is cheating.
I believe that forgiving someone doesn’t mean you need to be friends with them.
I believe if someone wants to propose marriage to you, they will. I believe that asking for a proposal is asking for something I would never want.
I believe in the usefulness of interactive toys, light up games and sturdy Baby Einstein books. I also believe that an empty refrigerator box is the best gift you can give a child.
I believe that unless you voted, you haven’t earned the right to complain about the government.
I believe every success I’ve had has been the result of parents who gave me a truckload of confidence and an eye for great handbags.
I believe people need to let the Anna Nicole thing go. Seriously. Charges against her ex bf and baby daddy?!
I believe being ‘complicated’ doesn’t make you interesting. Some of the most fascinating people I know are those who live life simply, without the tanglements of drama.
I believe that “sleeping on it” always helps figure out life’s big problems. Unless you are sleeping on a rock, then I’m against it.
I believe if your $15 lip gloss makes you feel like a million bucks, it’s worth it.

I believe that unless you voted, you haven’t earned the right to complain about the government.
I believe every success I’ve had has been the result of parents who gave me a truckload of confidence and an eye for great handbags.
I believe people need to let the Anna Nicole thing go. Seriously. Charges against her ex bf and baby daddy?!
I believe being ‘complicated’ doesn’t make you interesting. Some of the most fascinating people I know are those who live life simply, without the tanglements of drama.

I've changed my mind
I Just Can't Stop Loving You is my favorite MJ song. I can't stop listening to his music. I've always been a fan. I just realize today how timeless his music is. There will never be another Michael.
