The Hardships of Life
Sorry I haven't updated in a while, but as you all know I've been sick...
I'm actually starting to get better now though, which is a good thing because I was tired of not being able to talk for about a week or so. Yep, I had Laryngitis for a while there... I couldn't believe it either 'cause I've never been that sick before. I actually thought I was getting better the day after Christmas, but when I woke up the next day my voice was gone!! So I pretty much spent my Christmas and New Years not being able to talk, which wasn't cool because I didn't get to see any of my friends like I had hoped. Although, I did get to see Patrick, his g/f and Jason on New Years, but that was pretty much it.
I'm just glad I got to spend some quality time with my family before they all left after Christmas. I was really happy because I've never gotten along so well with my siblings before. It was nice, especially for the fact that we didn't have one single argument the whole time. My younger sister and I even hung out the day before she left, and we just spent the day listening to some old childhood memories on tape. We really did have some great times as little kids, and boy were we silly :P After listening to the tapes, I started thinking back to when my sister and I went to the rest home to visit our grandmother with our dad. It was a really hard time for us, seeing her the way she was versus the way she used to be. Now that she has alzheimer's nothing is really the same. What makes it even worse is that she's the only grandparent we have left now. It was just really hard for my sister when she first saw her, because it was the first time she had seen her since we had moved her into the rest home. Believe me, she has gotten way worse since then. Seeing her like that was just a major shock for her, and when she started crying...that's when I lost it. I couldn't help but think of the way things used to be. When we were little and growing up, things just seemed so much easier back then. We always had so much fun together as a family. It's just depressing how much things can change sometimes, but I guess all we can do is just go with the flow and take things as they come. I hate it, but I guess that's just how it's going to be. It's life.
Well, I guess I need to get off here and start cleaning the house...
The real world calls.
