I'm a private person and I tend not to post stuff that's happening to me cuz let's be real here, many people have way worst problems than I do. But yesterday was a real shitty day for me and my family. It started off like this:
I received a call from my sister, informing me that our Grandmother in Puerto Rico was in the hospital and it wasn't looking good. After a brief summery of what was happening, I gave my sister the number to our cousins in Puerto Rico so that she could get some info. No lie, about 5-10 minutes passed when she called me again and told me our Grandmother had passed away. She had called and was trying to talk to our cousin but our cousin was crying. Once she told them who she was and asked about Grandma, they told her she had just died.
The thing is that my sister is really broken up about this because she hadn't seen our grandmother in mad years. I was lucky to have seen her almost 2 years ago and introduced her to her legecy: my son, one of her great grandsons. And even though she didn't really remember me and us being there (she had Alzheimers) deep down she still knew. I loved that woman. I may not have been in her life much, but she always loved me unconditionally, both me and my sister who she hadn't seen in years. It's heartbreaking for my sister more so because she just buried her Mother's grandmother just a few months ago (she's my half sister btw). So now the family is in turmoil and I've yet to cry. I told a friend that I had made my peace with her years ago and knew the time was near, hence my trip to PR to see both her and my dad. She lived to be over a hundred years old. And with all the cousins and family in Puerto Rico as well as family here in the States, she will always be remembered and missed and loved.
I have to say this: For all you guys reading this, thank you. I know I'm normally the one that's always trying to make people laugh and smile and hate being sad or upset. Nor do I like when my friends are sad or upset themselves. I just needed to share and I wanted to share with you, my 'family'. Thanks also to all my friends that helped me to forget my pain and anger during the initial time period. I have nothing but so much love for all you guys here.
