My Grandmom died of cancer too. I was really close to her so it hurt me a whole lot. I was in fourth grade so I was about 8 or 9. It killed me having her be gone, losing my Mom-Mom. I know how it feels. I send my condolences to you, and hope that everything turns out alright. Hopefully she gets better and lives for 10 or 20 more years . |

Well, the funeral was a few days ago.
Amy tells me it doesn't seem like it's fully been realized by Andrew that his mom is gone, that or he's handling it extrememly well. I don't know which. he might be handling it well, he was expecting it for a while now. Before I left, about a year and a half ago, he came to me worried about what to do asking for advice. He knew she had only about a year or so left. He wanted to know about what to do for his little brother and sister, given how my situation panned out. So he may have steeled himself for this already. He's had time to accept this before hand anyhow... As far as my gram's concerned, things are interesting. Found out last night that things were worse than they thought at first. 100% blockage on right side of heart, 85% on the other. She had slim chances of surviving the surgery she told me. But she made it. She called and said "You're lucky you have a grandma" Anyhow, they have to clean up her heart some more, even after the bypasses, they're worried about stroke again. Surgery has to be done in her neck to clean the blockage out there. And there IS a one inch sqaure something on her lung. They're going to go in and pull some of it out for testing. They think it might be cancer. Whatever it is, it has to be dealt with even if it isn't. If it is though... I don't know. Andrews mom just died of cancer too, and I've already lost some close people to me over cancer. I'll update more later if I remember more/find out more. I'm too tired now to think. |

Just do what you can, comforting words can do a lot, especially when you're that far away. Make sure to send flowers for the funeral since you cannot be there in person, I am sure that Andrew would appriciate the thought.
Send him condolances from me as well. It is good to hear that your grandmother is okay now by the way. |

Well, things haven't been so great lately.
On the bright side of things, my grandma is home out of the hospital. She was gone a month, heart problem, surgeries etc saved her. I don't feel like going into that. What's getting to me right now is I'm talking to one of my best friends. Her boyfriend, also one of my best friends from back in high school (Amy and Andrew) Well.. Last night/this morning, take your pick, Andrew's mom died... I know, people die, stuff happens, etc. I just feel bad for him right now. I've had a lot going on that I'm not going to put up here, that and add in my 12 hour days that I work (So I'm out of my house for like 13-14 hours), I haven't been able to be there for anyone back home who are important to me. I know its something I have to deal with, Navy and all, but I just get the feeling of hopelessness. I haven't been able to control anything in my life for the past many months, ask anyone who personally knows me about that. And now I can't be there for the people who are important to me. That's why I got close to everyone I know, because of how much I could always be there for everyone. Looking back a few years to when I met them all in high school, I realize outside of being with my friends and getting through stuff, I didn't really have much of a life, or anything that defined me, as me. I really don't know where I'm going with this. I just really don't know what to tell my friends, or how to be there for them or even help beyond telling them I'm sorry, given the situation. Being 3000+ miles away is one hell of a stop-gap in being able to visit them too. I just wish there was something I could do to help them. I feel so bad right now. Andrew's mom was really a nice woman, and was always very welcoming into their house and everything.. And after all Andrew and Amy have been there for me, now I can't really do much to be there for them.. |
