With the good comes the bad...

I just talked to Dad and he said Gran is terminal... the doctors are giving her 2 weeks, tops. So, if I'm really passive and quiet over the summer, you'll know why. He said she's in a lot of pain right now, and anything the doctors would do would just prolong the pain instead of making her life healthier and better. When Gran passes, it will be the first funeral for a female that I remember, and I think the second of a female relative. Our family will also shift over from totally matriarchal (Gran) to mostly patriarchal (my Dad) and some matriarchal (his two older sisters). I know it's weird to talk about my family like royalty, but that's kinda how we operate. Except we don't do that inbreeding thing; that's just too weird.

Pray for my family. ALL of my family. Even if you're not religious. We're going through some rough stuff now with my haywire aunt, my gran dying, my parents potentially on the brink of losing their jobs... it will be a rough summer. Who knows, I might just drop all my summer classes. It would suck but hey, school will always be there. Especially Speed. My family won't always be here, so I gotta live it like today's the last day.
