Maybe I shouldn't have turned this song on. Ya know, "Luckiest" by Ben Folds. I had the oppurtunity to go home this weekend and have thanksgiving with my family. I'm trying with everything in my power to not let the fact that my Grandmother can't even walk around by herself anymore get me down everyday. Ya'll just have no idea. My grandmother has allowed me to experience things in this world that I can't even explain. She took Marie and I all sorts of places so we could have a fun filled childhood and was always so eager for us to learn so many things about the world and life. I don't even look at her like she's 80. She's like my best friend. I've told her anything and everything about my life and my experiences growing up. She's never judged me or belittled me. She just listened in amazement at what the worlds teenages are experiencing in this day in age. Now she can't even remember things I tell her 10 minutes ago. She and I were watching Keydon at some point this weekend, talking about how precious she is, and she said to me, "I hope that I'm still around when you have your baby, Laura." How do you react when one of your best friends says something like that to you. Bless Trey's heart, he just came in and saw me in tears. I need to go talk to him....
