Fwa wrap up and.......bad news
ok guys so i have been back from fwa now sense monday (its Thursday now) there is a reason for my late post but will get to that later. any way FWA was awesome this year
The Drive Down: Me my mate twiztidwolf and then awesome friends jellybeans95 and shiroelex loaded up my forester to the roof and headed out. and i mean it was pretty packed full couldn't see out back window lol. about a hour into the trip my car started to throw a check engine light due to some random mis fires in a few cylinders but we checked everything out and just kept on trucking. the ride down was awesome fun thanks to the people in the car lol.
The Con: the con was awesome this was my first con that i had a full suit at so i spend a good part of my con running around in my suit with my room mates jellybeans95 and shiroelex. also this was Swim con 5000 me and my mate twiztidwolf spent a ton of time in the pool cause it was awesome fun and the pool area was epic as well. was cool to get pics of suit from fur shoot love them lol. went to the dead dog dance in suit it was my first real dance at a fur con and my first time dancing in suit.....well i cant dance lol i felt stupid out there but it was fun. really enjoyed hanging out with friends and spending time with my mate the most though. also trying to steal coyoroo shoe and then pouncing on him and tickling him in suit lol the con was awesome probably one of my favorite cons yet
The Drive Home: left to head back to ohio about 11 or so monday morning. the drive home was fun. spent most of it with my new droid cell phone hooked into my car stereo and looking up funny youtube stuff for a good few hours. got back home about 7 or so but then had to leave my mates place to deal with other family problems..........
which brings me to this part of the journal the less happy part.............my grandmother has been fighting cancer now for 6 years........well tuesday night around 8:30 she lost her long battle with cancer and passed away on hospice. she had been on the way out sense Friday during fwa i was the only person in the family that she had not seen yet so i got there about tuesday around 6 pm to see her........and a few hours later *wipes eyes* i watched my grandma pass away.
its the hardest thing i have ever had to see or deal with. i have been lucky i have never lost any close family members during my life. i feel blessed to have my grandma in my life as long as i did......but still it doesn't make it any easier. i hate to say it but in a way its good that she passed cause she suffered so much the last year or her life......so she is in a better place now.................
sorry to be such a downer guys but i feel like i got to put this out there. i have been trying to put up the strong front for my sisters mother and my grandpa but its not been easy been really putting a strain on me.
all i can ask is please to keep my family in your thoughts and prayers as we go though this
thanks guys
