Yesterday my Grandma called and asked to talk to my mom, which was somewhat weird because she usually asks to talk to my dad and talks to me a bit first, but she didn't. I'm picking up my stuff and I hear my mom go "oh no. Thats terrible" and "when's the funeral" then, when she was done, I asked who died and she said "uncle bob" and I was like the one in florida and she was like no ohio, aunt kathryns husband.
so the funeral is friday, I asked my mom if she & dad or we were going and she said she didn't know, grandma didnt really want to go and that it would be nice for someone in the family to go and that dad doesn't really like funerals so she doesn't know. She said we can't miss Samantha's graduation party on Saturday. I would like to go to the funeral. I really only remember meeting him and aunt kathryn once, and I thought they were really really old then and that was a long time ago, so I can only imagine how old they are now. But it would be nice to see people that I am related to and have never seen in my life, almost all of my dads side of the family lives in ohio, except for us and my dads brothers and sisters. and I know how nice it is when people go to someones funeral like how their close relatives feel. I know when all these people were at my grandpas funeral i thought it was so nice that all these people came, especially when my uncle ed and aunt tina came. There was this one guy that was there every day, for the whole time(which was a really really long time) and no one really knew who he was except my grandma. I think he went to highschool with my grandpa actually. I remember when we were going to my sisters graduation and we were all in our car and my grandpa asked how many were in the "graduating class" and my sister was like four hundred something and i said "yeah a little more than 28 huh grandpa" and he was like "hey, it was 18" he only had a graduating class of 18 when he graduated from high school.
but i know in like september or october we'll be going to minnesota for my aunt peggys funeral. I dont know if I will actually go but i kind of hope i can.
" if i dont make it, know that I loved you all along..."
so everyone is gone. my sister and mom are at home depot looking at stuff for when we add on a get a new kitchen and my dad came home for like two minutes and then went back to work. and I am going to go and cut stuff and maybe even finish and get some $$.
its such a nice day knock on wood.
