Better now... despite news

Oct 18, 2005 09:23

So, my mood has started to definitely pick up. I think that sometimes I just walk a very fine line and I don't always do such a bad job of it, but every now and then it all just gets to be too much. Plus, I have a long history of really shitty birthdays and once a year all the bad memories just come crashing through and take over. Being alone makes it worse. I think I've kind of ignored how cut off and removed from everyone and everything I've been lately, but it's kind of hard to miss on your birthday...

Last night, my sister called me at work to tell me that our cousin Tremaine got hit by a roadside bomb in Iraq Sunday. She left me with the impression that he was dead, but I found out this morning that that's not the case. He's in critical condition with burns over 80% of his body, but he's stll alive. Considering he just got married and had a son this summer, I'd say that's a bit of a blessing. As soon as they get him stabilized in Germany, they're going to send him to some burn center in San Antonio. Please, pray for him and his family.

I'm worried, but fine.
