Happy
Easter...
Today
was my grandmothers funeral service. Despite the fact the minister was
a little... drawn out... it was nice. I don't really care for the idea
of putting dead people on display like that (open casket) but it was nice
to see everyone who showed up, my family always loves to get together...
There was the bit where they read the poem my cousin Amber wrote (she couldn't
be there, she had to go on the Appalachian Trail) and everyone cried...
well, everyone except me...
For
some reason, tears refused to come, I was sad, I didn't feel happy, but
I guess for the most part, I didn't see anything wrong. Way I see it, Gram
is up in heaven chillin' waitin' for us to show up. I'm sorry that she
never got to see me come to Christmas with a girlfriend, but as long as
we keep that tradition, she will, she'll have the best seat in the house.
Maybe
I didn't cry because I went through something so simular 15 years ago with
my great grandmother. Same situation, hospital, at home care, and then
she died. I guess going through it when you're 5 kinda desensitizes you
to the whole thing. Last night while at my cousin Scott's, he and a couple
other people were getting hammered, and he kept askin' me what's wrong,
at one point he actually went so far as to say that Gram was in a better
place, and that I shouldn't worry about it, I looked right at him and said
that it had nothing to do with Gram, because I was alright with that. Death
is a part of life, and I deal with it... that or this is going to hit me
HARD when I realize what happened.
Alright...
Time for the rest of this...
Sean:
Thanks so frigging much for everything, you've been a true brother, and
I owe you so much for this weekend, covering for me despite your injuries
Friday, and helping me through everything, going so far as to secure me
a ride home, offering to take me up there, I love you bro, you're the best
friend I've had in a long time...
Lindsay:
I know you're out in the U.K. right now, but you'll be back to read this
soon enough. Thanks for the e-mail, knowing that you thought about me for
a couple minutes while you were out there certainly makes me feel better.
Can't wait to hear all about it, and I mean hear.
Kim:
I know you haven't been able to talk to me about it, and you've got a lot
going on, thanks for your sympathy when you gave it, I'll be sure to call
you tomorrow.
Crystal:
Thank you so much for talking to me and offering to talk about the whole
thing, pity I took it so well, we could have used some time together...

Sean's
family: I don't know how to say this... but thank you for being there for
me Friday, it meant so much to me to have you be willing to go to such
lengths for me. Sean is lucky to have a family like you, and I am lucky
to have a friend like him. I love you.
Finally...
I think I should say one last thing...
Becky:
I'm sorry for what has happened. For what I have done, I apologize, you
know that though. I'm glad me and you are going to actually try the friendship
thing this time, hopefully everything will work out well, and if we decide
that the romance thing is worth a shot, I'm going to come down there as
soon as possible so we can start it off right, with a lovely dinner...
Oh
yea... new pics will be up soon, maybe this week I'll get some fresh ones
of me in my new clothes, I got MAD props on them, word.
Till
then, I love you guys, things are looking alright...
