Thanks for listening, guys & sorry for being somewhat of a downer; I just know you guys are caring friends & the best people I can think of to turn to. *hugs*Originally posted by Goofette
I'm baaaaaack. I feel like I've been gone forever. I've been taking care of mom this week. She came to stay with me and has been with me until this evening. She stays in this room (where the computer is) so I was starting to have major computer withdrawals.
This is to Maria....Maria, I know the hurricane is VERY close to you. You be very careful and please don't take any chances. Take Care of yourself and your family. I'm afraid tonight will get bad for you.

If I may...I have a request to make...
I know I'm usually bouncing off the walls with oddness & silliness. It's kinda weird to be posting something serious & less than pleasant now, but I know I'm among WONDERFUL friends & I think I need that now. Some of you already know how I feel about my grandparents. I don't have much as far as family connections go. They raised me & are really the only family I have that I am close to & that I count on. Both of them have been having some health issues over the last couple of years. Obviously, being in their 70s, this is to be expected, but I didn't expect things to progress as they have & I think the reality of it all only hit me recently...that I'm losing them. They're in Texas & I am not in a position where getting there is an option, financially, so I've been turning to others for updates on their health. They know how I worry about them, so they insist that they're fine. My mother & aunt live local to them, but rarely can be bothered to visit, so my info has been very limited. Today, my grandmother finally admitted that my grandfather is "fading" & that I should "mentally prepare for this". He has Parkinson's Disease, among other problems & the treatment is no longer helping to slow his weakening state.
I always knew that I would have to eventually face them dying, but I never REALLY thought about not having them around. Now, it's becoming very real to me & happening fast. I don't know what's worse, just knowing this, or the fact that I now realize I will probably never see him again. He can't even talk to me on the phone anymore because he shakes so violently & can't hold the phone. I know I have no choice in the matter, but I'm not ready for this yet. Don't know if I ever would be, but I know I'm not ready for it now. I've lost a couple of friends to suicide & a couple of distant family members, but my grandparents & my children are THE people I cannot imagine being without.
Can anyone spare a little pixie dust? I kinda feel like I'm falling apart over here.Thanks for listening, guys & sorry for being somewhat of a downer; I just know you guys are caring friends & the best people I can think of to turn to. *hugs*
