Okay, yeah, I never like to blog.....I've always felt that when I do it, it can come off as being really emo....so I just choose not to.

Right now though......gah...

Alright. Here's the dealio at the moment.

My dad went to Mexico during Easter vacation and brought his parents with him when he came back.

Now, I love my granparents and all, but....y'know, it's just kinda inconvinient since we're not even home most of the time due to all of us working all the time.....plus, my granddad....

Okay, 'bout two years ago, my granddad had a stroke. Thing is, no one actually knew about it when it happened. NO ONE. He was by himself and pulled out of it when no one was around. It did his brain damage though. The effects were not apparent though. He'd just kinda get quiet or act like he was thinking about something mid-sentance or while just hanging with outher people.....his brother had just died though, so everyone chalked it up to depression. So nothing was done. This had gone on for almost a year or two before his condition deteriorated enough that they finally took him to a doctor.

He's now pretty much mentally disabled. I mean, he's still there. The other day, he wandered out of the house and walked to my uncle's house all on his own. He wanted to see his son of course. I managed to find him after asking a cable guy in the area if he saw him and figured out where he went to. It was.....depressing watching my granddad trying to go into my uncle's backyard, not comprehending that no one's home......I almost cried watching him, but I stayed with him and managed not to.......

Right now, I was asleep.....my granddad just got up in the middle of the night and wandered into my room for some reason.....he scared the crap out of me and I had to lead him out while he was going "No".....he went back to his room.....

I hate seeing him like this......his struggle with just saying "Si" and "No" all the time.....trying to recognize his sons....just getting out of bed just to wander around the house for a second and then go back to bed.....

[05:14] Kenny28: I don't know what we can do for them......or what I really think about all this......
[05:15] Kenny28: not think......"feel" I mean........
[05:15] Buttermilk Lovenugget: You're frustrated.
[05:15] Kenny28: yeah.......
