there is death all around us here at home. two days ago, my roommates dad went out to water their front lawn. a few hours later, her mom realized he hadnt come back inside. she and their other daughter went outside and found him outside face down in the grass. they picked him up and he was out of it. they got him to the hospital and it looked like he had a collapsed lung and had had a stroke.
he died last night. exactly a week from when i found out about my grandpa. he was 85, he was so sweet and he got the biggest kick out of alexis.
i was talking to a friend and you think that 85 sounds so old and that you have all this time, but before you know it you're old and your health is failing.
life is so precious and you should never waste it. easier said than done..i know. you get busy with life. work, kids, husband/boyfriend. you put off the phone calls to aunts and uncles. visits to grandparents.
i will always regret that i never called my grandpa before he died. the last time i talked to them was the end of july. i let my sisters bullshit crap take my time. fucking vulture that she is.
(speaking of which, i've hung up on her twice in 4 days. that's a record for me).
