Hi everyone.
I wanted to let everyone know I am ok, and that I am not (purposely) ignoring the emails and the text (thanks iron!) that you sent to me.
I have been recuperating from my trip to Fl. My dad is doing better than I was led to believe. Well, he was. Although he is under hospice care, and does have stage four brain cancer. The worst kind of brain cancer there is. (sorry, I don't remember what it's called.)
This morning I received a call from my cousin telling me that my uncle (dad's brother) died this morning. He lived with my grandma (mom...who raised me..) and she heard him fall down the stairs this morning, and was there with him while he died. She is 93.
I will be heading up there when the weather allows. (they live in northern IN. close to Michigan, Detroit, and Chicago.)
I knew that something would happen this Christmas. I am a bit of a bitch for being relieved that it is not my dad or my grandma (mom). But this cannot be good for their health. I was trying so hard to make this a "normal" Christmas, even though I knew it wouldn't be. Yesterday when HM said that we would not put up a tree, I burst out in tears. I just wanted everything to be normal...
Today I started to feel sorry for myself/my family because it's Christmas, and this shouldn't happen during the holidays. But, I came to understand that people die at all different times of the year, and that death does not take a holiday.
My dad wants to fly in, but I don't think he will be able to.
Ok, I think I am rambling now. I just wanted to update everyone on what is going on, and to thank you for being my friends.
