a visit, a death
a good friend from high school came over to visit me today. i love friends who were once dear but fade away only to come back into your life years later and you rediscover their wonderfulness all over again. overall i find my high school friends quite disappointing now. i see what "proximity friends" we truly were and what the years have done to our relationship. growing apart is one thing but rediscovering someone is a completely different being in a bad way just makes me sort of sad.
back to the subject at hand. my old buddy jennifer came over to hang out with me (in all my shut-in style goodness). she just had a baby 3 months or so ago and we've really connected over the subject because im a soon-to-be mom myself. you can never have too many mommies on your side right? and she's not just a new mama to me, we also share a lot of the same ideals and ideas on parenting subjects like vaccinations, circumcision, and overall parenting styles. she brought me a few back issues of American Baby magazine and some diaper covers (for our cloth diapers). how sweet! the best part OF COURSE though was seeing her little baby girl Willow. sooo beautiful! i wish i had taken photos but i was too forgetful and we were gabbing too much. oh yes i forgot, she also gave me a pregnancy yoga video i cant wait to dive into (tomorrow right?). it was so nice to see her, cant wait to see her again in two and a half weeks at my baby shower.
i think things are winding down with the situation with my grandpa. the oncologist has said that there is nothing more they can do for him as far as treatment. now it is about making him comfortable and as happy as possible facing such an event. the options of hospice care at home or moving to a hospital setting is eminent now, i think they are going to finalize what to do this weekend. my dad approximates he has around three weeks left. i dont even know how to talk about this so i guess i just wont..
