Vato went home today because he just found out his baby sister has a tumor on her brain. She's 2 years old and has had occasional trouble seeing. For instance, Vat will be standing right in front of her waving, and she won't be able to see him. Then she'll twitch her head a bit, and then see him. They decided to get an MRI and turns out she's got a tumor on her cerebellum.
I feel so sad for him. Seriously, he cannot catch a break. He's had a pretty difficult life ~ didn't meet his father till he was 17, mom steals money from him, aunts/uncles in jail, etc. but he isn't one of those bitter feel-sorry-for-themselves-ers. I admire/respect him a lot.
Sometimes it's hard to know what to say, I just wish life would cut him some slack.
edit
He just called me, they're operating tomorrow at noon, and it should take around 5-6 hours. He said she's fine now, so I'm praying everything goes dandy tomorrow.
