I really have a lot to talk about here, but it's 1:30 in the morning and i have to get up at 6:30 so the longer update will have to wait until later...
On Saturday Katie called me and told me Tia had her baby on Tuesday, the 17th. So at first i was all happy, ya know? Tia had her baby. Good news, right? Katie continues on to say that on Thursday Tia's mother died. I could not believe it. I was so not expecting this, at all. I had just seen Tia's mother like 2 weeks ago at the baby shower, and she was perfectly fine. She was so excited about Tia having this baby. She bought Tia so much stuff for the baby, and I have never seen her as happy as she was. It looked like she was doing a lot better than she had the last time i saw her. Back when Tia and Katie and I hung out a lot and she used to pick us up from the movies and stuff she would always be like heaving and having trouble breathing and stuff, but it wasn't like that when I saw her. Tia's mom had been in the hospital since Monday, she had had a heart attack. On Tuesday, she had another heart attack. Her lungs filled up with fluid and her kidneys stopped working and on Thursday she passed away. It really puts a lot of things in perspective. You really never know when things like this can happen. She was only 54 years old. To think that my own mother is only 6 years younger than that is such a scary thought. Like, I can't even imagine that happening for another 30 years, at least.
So, on Saturday I went with Katie and her mom to go see Tia and to drop off some food for her and to see the baby, but she wasn't home. I didn't really think she would be. We're going to go to the service they are having for her on Tuesday at the Pilgrim Congressional Church in Leominster. It sucks so much. The thought of death just freaks me out beyond belief. I am not good with this at all.
A little good news though: the back to school countdown is less than 2 weeks....11 days to be exact. I got to talk to Sharon today which was awesome because i havnen't talked to her in forever and i miss her and ashley so much. On Thursday i'm gonna take the train to Braintree and hang out with her and Ashley for the day. I cannot wait. I am so excited. I have needed a day with them for a LOOONNNGG time. So that should be fun.
but, i am off to bed since 6:30 is less than 5 hours away, so goodnight, and leave some comments :-D
