I just found out a few hours ago that grandpa has lung and bone cancer. He starts chemo tomorrow. We didn't know he had ever smoked, supposedly he did it in his 40s. I wish I could feel sadder, but I've only met him like 3 times. Mom is a bit bitter about it, we're his only grandkids and he never tried to get to know us. In fact, the only reason we had thanksgiving with him one year (I think I was in jr. high at the time) was because he was riding through on his motorcycle with a buddy of his. Besides that, I had a brief encounter with him during great grandma's funeral a couple years ago and our California vacation back when I was in elementary school.
I've also been in a bit of a funk for the later half of this week. I just feel so lonely.
grandpa,
