So.. two things are probably going to happen to me for what I'm about to say.. At least two things that come to mind. First, I'll probably be looked at as an asshole, and then I'll probably be cast straight to the depths of Hell to burn with Mel Gibson.
As you all know, it's Easter weekend. Yes sir, the moment where Jesus came back from the dead and said "HAH! Told you you couldn't kill me, fuckers!" ..well, not in that context, but hey, sue me for not reading the Bible. I can bet that a lot of people are having family gatherings to enjoy quality time with each other and celebrate this lovely wonderful holiday we have.
While I'm not having my entire family gather in our house for this weekend, I do have my grandmother over here. She got here just a little bit ago, and has been downstairs with the rest of my family and whatnot.
So.. here's what I want to say, and don't hate me for this, but...
Granny, we are really grateful you could be a part of our family for such a long time, and I know we all really love you, but dammit all, it's time for you to go!
Now, don't be all "How thoughtless of you to wish death upon someone in your own family!" because I, honestly, agree. I'm an asshole, and should probably be burning in Hell right now for saying it, but it's just something I honestly think should happen.
My grandmother USED to be a great woman. She was nice, fun to talk to, and did a lot to help around her house and whatnot. For the past several years, however, she's turned into a lazy, stuck up, whiny bitch that's more of a hassle than a family member! And honestly, I think it'd do both my family and herself good for her just to go ahead and pass.
It all started when my grandfather died. She was upset about it, just like we all were, but soon after that, she started literally giving up on everything. She'd lie in bed, refuse to get up to do ANYTHING, and expect to be helped with everything she tried to do around the house. I mean, yeah, I expected her to not be happy about this, but to completely give up on living a healthy life is just crazy.
I do have my sympathy for her, though.. Like, right now, she's got the beginning signs of alzheimer's.. so the fact that she's starting to be dependant on us a lot more is really not her fault. I do still think it's her time to go, though.. because she's really just suffering more than anything. She lost her husband, her house, and basically everything she had.. and now she's suffering from a disease that's doing nothing but making it worse. She can't go to the restroom on her own, she hardly remembers our names, and it's just sad to see her like this.
Right now, I can hear her downstairs screaming for help because she can't move from her wheelchair to another seat in the house.. or vice versa. My parents are for sure trying to help her, but she does nothing but yell at them.
So yes, I do think she should just die.. because right now, she's making both herself and my family miserable. Let her pass on to some better place in whatever afterlife there will be, and let my family not have to go through with taking care of everything she needs to do for her.
life,
