life goes on
So my mom just called me... I swear, she gives me a heart-attack everytime she calls me late at night or early in the morning... I always think something has happened to one of my grandparents. They're both really frail these days, so when she calls at an odd time I automatically brace myself for the worst.
Tonight however, she was up late because of the JV football game. She did have bad news for me though...
My dad works at the hospital in Arcadia, and saw Jarad, my ex-boyfriend, there yesterday. Apparently his dad was rushed to the hospital, but he died later that night. Jarad told me recently that his dad was having open heart surgery, but from the sound of it this was completely unrelated. This is even worse news considering that Jarad's mom has been battling cancer for many years now... Jarad's only 23 (almost 24) and he's having to deal with all of this.
Although it's been years since Jarad and I dated, he was one of my best friends for the year before we dated, a best friend/great boyfriend (overall), and then we've been becoming friends again recently, so I immediately want to switch to nurturing mode and be there for him. I messaged/e-mailed him my phone number, even though he already has it, to let him know I'm here if he needs me.
Life goes on, I suppose.
