This was my first reunion with the ladies. It was also the first time I had seen them in months and it was a rollercoaster ride, much of it was unexpected and surreal. Going in, I was excited and wanted to stay upbeat, but it was hard to witness all the struggles. → Read More

A partial definition of the word respect is the act of giving particular attention, high or special regard, or the quality or state of being esteemed. Respect is given to those who hold a special place for you; my family and friends are those whom I respect. These are the people for whom I would do anything, people for whom I would stand by during a difficulty. → Read More

Trials and perspective... Watching Vicki in the cardiologist’s office took me back to when I began my difficult journey. Hearing that she has an abnormal EKG and an enlarged heart was not easy. Through my trial, Vicki has been one person that has encouraged me and shown concern. I hope that I can be there for her. Yet, her new perspective about life gives me hope. I know what it is like to face… → Read More
Relationships seem to be the theme of this episode. From broken to embraced, let’s review what's happening. I was proud of Vicki for extending an olive branch, as Steve said. She wants to mend the relationship that has spanned a ten year period. It’s sad how a relationship that was so tight has drifted so far apart. But it was important enough to Vicki that she apologized. → Read More
Lydia caught on quite quickly that I didn’t know what a push present was. Wow, having kids and getting a present — double whammy! Sounds good to me. Let’s go, Diko! Gifts with interest...now, you’re in trouble. But in reality, Diko has treated me very well and has surprised me without occasion. He appreciates me and displays his love for me by lavishing me with presents. We are very fortunate to… → Read More
I am very happy that Kelly's surgery went well and that she was able to recover so quickly. From personal experience, I know that it is a very painful procedure and one that requires time for healing. Michael is very loving and supportive. The care you get from family and friends tremendously affects the healing process. Being in a good place emotionally, is half the battle. My family and… → Read More
This was the episode where I was still in the process of filling the expanders for my reconstructive surgery. The process helps with the implants, but it has been a painful journey. They are expanding my skin by adding liquid to a sac that is inside me. → Read More
The heaviest conversation I had with my husband tonight was my Gia’s college plans. Gianelle, my life, got accepted to LIM in New York, which is why her and I traveled there. The school hosted an accepted students' day, so we decided to visit. Her organized itinerary of restaurants we were eating at shocked me, making me question if we were flying across the country for trendy restaurants and… → Read More
Tamra had me all wrong! She selectively reiterated the situation to Eddie, and made me look like the bad guy. My intention was to smoothen out the rocky patch between Vicki and Tamra, but I now understand that it’s not worth for me to involve myself. Tamra is evidently damaged by their past, and I figured that dwelling on it doesn’t resolve the issue. By telling her to not “dwell on it” was my… → Read More
Seeing Vicki’s bond with her grandkids resembled the family dynamic in my home. Vicki seems very connected with her family and I was able to see her values while she hung out in the kitchen with her kids and grandchildren. The little babies are so adorable! → Read More
I'm glad that the girls were able to make it to our Lamborghini event, although sad that Tamra and Shannon weren't able to attend. Upon calling Shannon to invite her to the event I hadn't realized how abruptly I cut her off. The reason why I tried to keep the conversation short was because I didn't want her to relive those dark moments. She did not owe me any explanation as to why she wasn't… → Read More
It was so strange seeing Kelly act the way she did during dinner. It was the first time I met her in person (I was introduced to her over Lydia's FaceTime a few hours before) and she did not leave me with the best impression. Over FaceTime she seemed like such a fun and loving person who’s the life of the party, but when I saw her act that way during dinner it completely threw me off. → Read More
