Alright so I didn't keep my promise but I really tried. A lot happened before and during my vacation that I really need to get off my chest. Well before we left my grandfather had a minor stroke and wound up in the hospital which caused my grandmother to not go on vacation and stay home with him while he was in the hospital. Ok now the hard part. About three days into the cruise we were in Nassau, Bahamas and were able to buy phone cards and call home. My aunt called her answering machine and got a message saying that my uncle Charlie passed away Monday morning at about 5:30 am. This was really hard for me to accept and I haven't been able to really grieve the way I want to. He was sick for about a year with spinal cancer and coplications to go along with that so he wound up not being able to walk. Wow it feels better to get it out in the open and in writing. And don't think that I'm merely saying all of this just to get sympathy and attention because that's the last thing I want. Other than that work has been going really well and school this semester is going a lot better and I don't feel as pressured and stressed out as I did Earlier this year. Alright well that's all I have to say for now.
