yesterday was a sad day. i was sitting at mike's house, studying and got a call from my mom.
i hear "boianefoinoia died". "who????" "djibiesi." "WHO DIED????" "ARDIS."
mike has bad service at his house.
ardis was the one my family would go visit EVERY year growing up down in alabama/florida. she was my mom's best friend and the classiest woman you could ever meet. just a positive, sweet, and fun woman. she got diagnosed with leukemia about a year ago and we thought she was better. i don't even know what happened yet.
so i get off the phone and tell mike and i was ok for about 2 minutes cuz i decided i didn't want to think about it and went back to studying. next thing i knew, tears were streaming down my face and mike looked at me and told me to come over and give him a hug. so i laid in his lap and he held me while i sobbed.
i then went back to studying and decided to still not let myself think about it and was ok for a few more hours til i quit studying. and then the same thing happened and mike held me again while i cried.
it's so sad, cuz i haven't even seen her in about 5-6 years. i was planning on taking my first born down to see her so she could kiss the baby's butt (which is what she did with both katie and i after we were born..she loves baby's butts).
and it's sad because she is a huge part of all my memories of going down south and i think she's a big reason why i love the south so much...cuz she always made it so enjoyable to be down there.
i'm going to miss her.
and i'm so glad i have mike to cry to, and he's so good about holding me when i cry.
but it's still hard.
