Longest day ever.
I didn't mention it b/c I wasn't really ready to talk about it (and I'm not really sure I am yet) but my grandma passed away last week. We had her funeral today. There's been a lot of drama in that side of my family over the past year - prob the past couple years actually, since my grandpa died. Of course, today was no exception. My grandma also asked me to speak at her funeral a couple of months ago, so I had to do that...it was the first time I'd ever done something like that. Much harder than I expected.
Anyway, I'm wiped out now and not sure what to do w/most of the drama. Most of it will just go away (it's my aunt and cousin) but some if it is my mom (and this is my dad's mom that passed). Should be interesting to work out. I just wanted to fill you all in since I hand't really told anyone what had happened...I was pretty devestated.
Re: Longest day ever.
Val, you were in my thoughts today and yesterday - I was wondering how you holding up. I'm sorry the drama just keeps pouring on this situation.
If there's anything I can do - even if you just need to talk, you know where to find me. *hugs*
Thanks guys...it really means a lot. I'm sure everything will work out. It's just that when there's stuff going on w/my mom, I usually get put in the middle...especially if it involves my sister(s) (it does). I visited her today and it seems a little better already.
The service yesterday really did go well. My grandma had planned all of it over the past couple of months, so it was everything she'd wanted. She had cancer for the past year and they couldn't treat it b/c the treatments messed with her diabetes...so we've been waiting for this for a long time now. She had been in a lot of pain and she'd been asking for my grandpa lately, so it's nice to know that they're back together (if that's what you believe in...personally, I'm trying to figure that one out, but I really like that idea right now).
Anyway, thanks for the kind words.
