I dislike Valentine's Day. And it's not just because I never had someone to share it with in the past.

February 14th is the day my grandmother went into my grandfather's room only to find him lying there, barely able to move. She then called 911, where they sent an ambulance to take him to the hospital. Throughout the day he only got worse, and by that evening, he was in a coma. I didn't get to see him until later in the day, since I had been at work when my mom called and told me what had happened. I met the rest of the family at the hospital afterwards, and we took turns going into the room in ICU to see him, although by then he was unresponsive. My grandpa Jack passed away in the early hours of February 15th. Cause of death was a blood clot in his brain that caused him to have a stroke. On top of that, the clot occured because of a medication my grandpa was on to save his life. Some help that did.

Is that a good enough reason to be in a poor mood?

On top of that, it's the first Valentine's Day that I've had a boyfriend (because the relationship in middle school did not count), and even then Joe and I can't be together due to school and work. Grr.
Granted, I suppose the distance between the two of us isn't as bad as the distance between Kyra and Takeshi, since he's in Japan...

curling up into a ball now, relationships, family
