Okay so thanksgiving has always been a warm and loving holiday for me. I've loved getting together with family and eating too much. However this holiday I did not like what I recieved. My grandmother passed away what seems to be only months ago but in reality we are approaching two years. However during my grandma's funeral my grandpa met someone he knew in high school. They have been dating ever since. I didn't like her and thought she would go away eventually but she hasn't. In fact my grandpa recently purposed to her. You ask me why this might bother me... well see my grandma was the glue of my family and it's been hard since she's been gone. I don't believe that my grandpa has fully delt with her being gone but has simply tucked it away by taking down her pictures and replacing them with Lyla's. I'm sorry but I loved my grandma very much and Lyla will not replace her not even close. I don't like that he took her pictures down and replaced them with Lyla. In fact I hate it. They expected the two sides of the family to be immediatly comfortable with the situation (yea right). Her family's grandkids were quite a bit younger then all of the grandkids on our side (like they are all in high school or younger) We don't have a lot in common because well we are in different stages in our lives. I don't really like the situation and I don't really support them I guess I am just bitter but the situation isn't okay with me. Maybe if it was a longer period of time or he started dating her after my grandma had been gone or Lyla wasn't pretending to be my grandma. It would be different BUT SHE IS NOT MY GRANDMA. I love my grandma very much and I miss her so very much right now.
