Well, I've told a few people, but not many. I don't know why I'm making this announcement, but I feel it would be good for my high school friends, the few who check their journals anyway, to know what excactly has been going on for a while now.
In February, my mom had a stroke. I think I mentioned that. She was in the hospital for a good month, and we were all optimistic that she would recover well. That didn't really happen. I nstead she got worse, and startednot eating. This is while she was living with my grandma and I, by the way. Then she had an endoscopy and the doctors found a tumor in her small intestine, just past her stomach. A few days later, we found out that it was one of the most aggressive forms of lymphoma, and that the only treatment hey thought she could handle was chemo. We were optimistic since it was an incredibly tiny tumor, that it would be an easy fix.
Wrong.
It started to mess with her one remaining kidney, and so as of two weeks ago, the doctors decided to stop chemo, and mom has decided to stop living.
Yesterday, she went into a diabetic coma, as, unbeknownst to me, she had decided to stop taking her insulin.
Somehow, the rain is fitting, and only it and Robert can offer me any true comfmort. Yes it makes me feel better to talk to other people or family, but grief is a funny thing. IT makes you take the strangest things and connect them with whatever hurts the most.
This leads me to my next question. We're going to have a memorial service for her sometime, not sure when. Would any of my choir friends on here be interested in singing Loch Lomond with me at her service? I think I might still have the sheet music to it, if not I can find it somewhere. Let me know if you'd be willing to help me out with that, please.
