(no subject)
i'm back from the void, back in pittsburgh and trying to get into the groove of a new semester. break was really rough. i sort of touched on it previously here, but my nana was very very sick. a few days after i got home she was admitted to a hospice facility, mostly because of concerns about mobility and supervising medication. i saw her pretty much every day, trekking out to union road. she kept getting weaker, though. christmas eve day, the doctors found out that her kidneys were cancerous and failing, and she had two weeks left. needless to say, that was the most horrible, stunning and numb christmas my family has ever experienced. i'm just so glad todd was around that day, he came over after xmas eve dinner and held me and let me cry. she was so brave, but weak. she passed away on new years eve. 6 years and a day after the love of her life, my grandpa.
honestly, none of this has sunken in at all. my nana is the most important, amazingly strong woman in my life aside from my mother. i go home for the memorial thursday. it is saturday, burchfield art gallery.
todd has been so wonderful and understanding and amazing through all of this. i got back to pittsburgh tuesday, and todd came with me. he left this morning. it was amazing to have him here. i really love him so much. and we always have a great time. he makes me happy, even in rough times.
