yeah i haven't updated in a few days. well wednesday and thursday were
both snowdays which was awesome. i got up around 11 on wednesday and
went to britt's. we ordered pizza and watched movies and stuff. we
would have gone to sterling but our parents don't like us. so then
thursday, i wasn't going to school anyways.
i had my grandmas wake. going to that was extremely hard for me because
just a week ago i was talking to her and she had so much more life in
her. then the night before she died she was in so much pain. i just
can't believe how a few days can change that much. i feel like crap
knowing the last time i saw her there were people in the nursing home
who had the flu so i wouldn't go in since i didn't want to get sick so
i sat outside for an hour. i just wish so much i had gone inside and
talked to her. anyway, so there were people there to see her from 2-5
and then 7-9. i went to both and saw a lot of my cousins. then i went
to the hotel for the night. the next morning we got breakfast at a
diner and then went back to the funeral home. they did the closing of
the casket and then everyone went up to say their last words to her. a
limo brought the intermediate family (includes me) to the church. the
openning song was a song my grandma always made me listen to when she
was home or sick and that really got to me because it brought back a
lot of memories. I openned the mass with a reading and then read
something that i really couldn't handle reading, but i dont want to go
into detail about that. the limo brought us to long island where my
grandma requested to be buried, next to my grandpa who had died about
30 years ago from skin cancer, the same way my grandma died. i felt so
empty just knowing that i'm never going to see her again, or hear her
talk to me, or look at me and always be so positive and always be as
brave as she was. she never thought of herself and did everything for
everyone else. even in her last minutes of being alive she asked the
nurse to give her granddaughter (me) her wedding ring to rememeber her
by. she called me and asked me if i was okay, meanwhile shes the one
with all the pain inside of her, and thats when i knew she wanted this.
for over a year shes been praying to go to sleep and not wake up, and
thats exactly what happened. i just know i'm always going to miss her.
and bryan cassidy, your probably the
only person that has really helped me and made me realize a lot of
things. im always going to miss her but i have to accept that shes gone
because its part of life. you've made me feel a lot better knowing i
have someone i can really talk to about this since you've gone through
this too and who wont just say im sorry but will actully sit there and
try to make me feel better. i love you.
