...*Lazy days I'm in a hazy phase of watching countless ways in which my life goes crazy*...
I would start off this entry with good things but let's face it there hasn't been many good things recently... so unfortunately i will start off with the bad...
Last friday i came home and informed my brother of mitch hedbergs passing.. which sucks mitch hedberg is a funny fucking bastard... a little after telling him my mom and i called my aunts house to talk to nana and see how she was doing... she informed me that she missed being home and hopefully she could be home soon, that she loved me, and that she was about to eat both of ours favorite meal: Lobster Rolls... we told nana to have a good night and we would talk to her tomorrow we both told nana bea we loved her and missed her around the house... awhile went by and i went to see frank... i had a really bad week last week and i couldn't wait to see him... after that i went home went to bed and then...
8am saturday morning rolls around - i'm exhausted and i hear my mom open my bedroom door "meg nana died last night"... i was so out of it i didn't know what to do i just said "what? are you sure? are you ok? how? what happened?" it sucked to hear... she sounded fine the night before and we then learned that nana bea did go peacefully and that she didn't suffer... which is good she didn't deserve to suffer... i went about my saturday like nana would've wanted which was doing what i normally would've done... i got my eyebrows waxed showered ate hung out with frank and watched movies because thats all i was in the mood for...
sunday i had to bring tammy's car back to her at school so i had frank follow me to salem and drop off tammys car then we went back home well to franks and just relaxed for a little bit...
the rest of the week is kind of a blur... tuesday was nana's wake and we definitely gave her an irish wake... it was so loud in the funeral home it sounded more like there was a party going on than a wake... but its how nana would've wanted it and sooo many people showed up to give their condolenses (i cant spell)... Frank, Julie, Jen, Laura, Lisa, Hegz, Caitlin and anyone else that showed up it was truely appreciated...
The funeral was beautiful... she had millions of flowers which i ended up taking a flower from each bouquet and making my mom a mini bouquet... it has my favorite flowers in there as well as nana's... my cousin lisa gave an absolutely amazingly beautiful eulogy... it touched everyone and got every to shed a tear or two or sob hysterically... after the funeral we all went to the rockland golf course for food and more reminiscing of nana... i cant tell you how happy my brother and i were when we found out it was breakfast food... i mean bacon eggs sausages french toast fruit - omg was it good... we thought we were going to have lunch food and we kept saying we were going to go to annita maries and bring the breakfast food back to the golf course... my brother, my cousin peter and his girlfriend coleen and i fought to be the first one to go through the line... coleen one... and i came in a very close second... pete actually let us go ahead to hold up my brother - lol... he also told us all while we were eating that he got bit by a tick and when he woke up today he was expecting to have super powers... so we got everyone calling him tick-man...
thats what i hate about funerals and wakes... you see your entire family and everyone ends up joking around and having a good time but how horrible is it that a death is the reason to bring everyone together... in all honesty the whole gang hadn't been together for quite some time now... which sucks i love my cousins they mean a lot to me and i only see some of them often...
after everything was done and over with i went home and passed out for 3 and a half hours... i guess i needed it huh?... i woke up watched the sox game we won!!! and then went grocery shopping and to the cemetery with my mom... after that we got home and ate the turkey rosie and big tim left for us... then i showered and went to franks... honestly i felt a little bad that i havent really been upset about it... i havent cried that much about it but i honestly think its because i took franks advice and stayed as strong as i could for my family... i definitely wouldn't have gotten through this without him though - frank you are the absolute best thing in the world... i love you...
well i need to wrap this up i should try and accomplish something today... but we all know i probabaly wont... i'm starving though so i should eat something... thanks again for everything you guys have done this past week... your kind words and thoughts meant more to this family than you could ever imagine...
