circle of life
where one life is about to begin another one is about to end. my brothers best friend found out his gf was pregnant a few months ago. today we saw the sonnagram on facebook. we got a call from my cousin in st. vincent last wendesday that my grandmother had a stroke. it just feels like i want to cry, yet i dont want to because its a sign of weakness, its a sign of letting things get to me. i dunno im just pissed off at the siituation with my grandmother. She is the sweetest, kindess most giving lady you will ever meet in your life. she'd take a homeless person off the street and feed them and then offer them shelter for nothing in return. she is a true embodiment of do unto others as you would have others do unto you. yet now that she needs someone to help her take care of herself, none of her children who are there want to help her. my aunt helps her, then bitches about it. my cousin is doing the best that she can to help her, but my cousin has health problems and a child to take care of. its disgusting that they dont want to help their mother. that to them its a burden to help someone in need. they havent learned a damn thing from her example. they havent learned how to give to those in need. life is a circle, and just like birth is connected to death, how we treat people is connected to how people will care for us and treat us when we need something. i hope that my aunts and uncles realize this lesson grama tried to teach us all before its too late for them to learn anything else.
