...awkward.

Dec 27, 2007 11:31

So... my Grandfather just died. And all my family is gathering at my Grandma's house so she doesn't have to be alone this afternoon. And all I can think is "well... this is probably gonna be awkward."

It's not that I'm cold, it's just that I don't have any experience with people dying. And I kind of suck at social graces... but, see, my extended family is really good at this shit. So I just sit there, silent, awkawrdly. And my extended family is all Catholic, but I was raised Congregational until I was 7, then started this Buddhism bussiness when I was 15... so, they do all their weird in-home Catholic things and I just stand there, confused. Everyone's going to be telling my Grandmother to fall back on God... and I'm fine with that, I think that's a good vessel through which she'll get back on her feet, but I can't because I know nothing about Catholocism.

Hate to say it, but it's gonna be awkward.
