Independence Day
It's hard to truly comprehend the amount of heartache I have had to endure over the past month. I went to visit my grandmother while she was in the hospital with pain. When things began to worsen for her I decided to stay with her. Never leaving her side but to shower at my nearby Aunt's house or go to the hospital cafeteria to eat. Ever tried sleeping in a chair sitting upright in a hospital room? Impossible. I stayed with her throughout scans and tests, from the ICU to her final moment in the Hospice House. My world is a bit grey, to say the very least. One night she woke from her sleep, wide awake she said "Oh, wow" and drew her last breath. I can only imagine what sight was before her at that moment. In the days following I spent every moment with my family: dad, aunt, uncle, cousins, extended cousins. It's a good healthy comfort that comes from the simple act of sitting at home surrounded by family. When everyone's heart is full of sadness the best medicine is to just be with the people you love. I miss her so much, I feel like it's been a long time since I so much as smiled.
Amongst all the sadness that I am trying to recover from, my sister announces that she's now engaged. A tad inappropriate timing if you ask me. Not only is the family still in mourning but its been what -a month since I got engaged? Is it really that necessary to steal attention? She's kept this dude hidden from our dad for ages perhaps it's because the guy's 35 and she's 20. The whole situation is not good; it makes me sick. I just can't stand her right now.
