This morning I took a walk with one of my favorite people (except he's not actually a person at all). My golden retriever Yogi. He listens even when I'm not actually speaking at all and just checks back on me with those big brown eyes of his. Thanks Yog...
Today, although I've only been up a couple of hours, has been a series of constant reality checks. I think it has finally (almost anyways) hit me that a big part of my life is over and it's time to move into the next round. Very shortly after waking up this morning my mom informed me that my grandpa is back in the hospital. I'm not sure how to react...he's been in and out for almost a year now having had multiple bypass surgeries and more heart attacks and infections and all kinds of things. Just the other day I found out that he and my grandma aren't coming up to our annual week-long Port Austin trip over the 4th of July...which they started some 40 odd years ago. They want to sell their house and move into assisted living. I'm just not ready to lose him yet. If I had a mentour...it would be him.
Yesterday was Jamie's open house (mmm cheesecake) then goodwilling/applebee's/movies with Seth and his really cool friends for Frank...who looks just like Johnny Knoxville. That was a super-good time and I wish that it wouldn't have ended. I need more days like yesterday.
