This makes me feel that I'll never quite be normal. This makes me act like I'll never get out alive.
So the year after highschool I spent getting paid to look after phillbert's grandmother. His family all worked, as did he, and so I spent something like 10 hours a day 3 to 5 days a week with this charming, sweet, slightly bonkers old lady. It was an easy job - keeping her company, making sure she ate and took her meds, helping her move around, basic stuff and I enjoyed it.
She passed away this morning. It's hard to think of someone I spent so much time with for so long just.. not being around any more.
So, if you can, spare a thought for her today - and for phillbert and his family, who have never been anything but amazing to me. I hope the pain passes quickly but the memory remains sweet for a long time.
In the mean time, P & I are relieving our stress by building a computer.
