40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year life:
"I haven't ever really found a place that I call home,
I never stick around quite long enough to make it.
I apologise, once again i'm not in love,
but its not as if i mind that your heart ain't exactly breaking.
Its just a thought, only a thought..."
Life For Rent [Dido]

that meme makes me sound really depressed somehow...

but i guess i am a little.

i didn't talk about this before, maybe because i hadn't really processed it. i don't know.

here's the thing: my grandfather is in the hospital.

he's had heart problems for a while, and a few other things, but the over all issue is that, well, he's old. and he'd been living in his own house with my uncle and his family for a really long time, but all the sudden all these tiny little changes have come to a head and now, well, things are going to be different.

my mom is going to be flying down to california to help take care of him and a few other things the day after christmas (boxing day, st. steven's day, what-hoove you). she and her two brothers and their families and us are all that my grandpa has, as my gandmother passed away many years ago. my two uncles live relatively close to my grandfather, so they'd been taking the brunt of the care, but now my mom has decided its her turn. so she will be flying down there for... well, we don't know, but we hope only a few weeks. i will probably also go down there, but only for a long weekend. anyways, the point being that my dad will go back to work and she will be gone and my sister will have her job... so, i'm going to be lonely, here in this big house. i know this is a might selfish, but i can't help it. i like being around people and being happy.

so i'm afraid of two things: the declining health of my grandpa, and being alone.

and i know most of you are far away and can't do much, but this is just me venting, pretty much. i'll be alright.

i'll be alright.

love,

nt
