The family reunion was on my mother's side. My dad's side lives in the area as well. I tried my best to see everyone I could. I saw my brother, uncle, and grandma. My nephews could not bother themselves to answer my inquiries, haha. I was hoping to see them, (and Austin's kids....my great nephew and such). Eh, such is life. I had not seen my grandma since I was 18 years old.
I also went to a family reunion this summer. I saw my other grandma (and uncle). I had a GREAT visit with them and took her a surprise present. It was a binder full of all the genealogy info I could find about both of her parents ancestry. She was tickled pink and dove right into it. She did not know much before this. I just added to what she told me years ago.
My good friend, TJ, also died in August....2 days after my grandma. Oh, and one of my cats died about the same time. THAT is a story all in itself.
One of my high school friends also lost his mom to cancer this fall. It has not been a great year. My neighbor just lost his mom this month. I am trying to be there for them while being on my journey myself. I am doing okay most days now. It is more fresh for them.
Also, I alluded to my grandma that someone in our family had not been very supportive in the early days. It was over a year later when I told her it was my sister. I was not trying to start family fights. Haha. Grandma was annoyed enough that someone acted that way in the beginning. Did i mention that she is spicy? She is also a mama bear. My grandparents raised my sister and me...
I just got my sun roast yesterday and it just about did it for me for the rest of the day!
I'm sorry to hear about your friend. That must be upsetting especially how quick it was
Also, maybe your cat's love language is BO and that's just his way of letting you know he appreciates you!
Hope work went well. Take care!
Since then, one of my aunts (I have never met) has passed away after a long fight with cancer. I shall never be able to ask how she feels about the old song with "Roxanne" in its name. Darn it. Haha.
Update on said relative above: I had to go behind her back (I know, it is not an ideal situation. You do not have to tell me that.) JUST to get some information to see what the whole picture says. I did not tell her I did it but I wasn't hiding it. Somehow, she found out from someone else. She is understandably upset. She is shutting me out. Big surprise. I haven't felt close to this relative in about 2 years. We have shut each other out in our own ways. It is not an one-sided situation there. I tried to make an foray today and get us talking again. I got shut down and out. Enough said. I did tell her that I was here if she ever wanted to talk but I am not holding my breath that it will be soon. Ergh, family dynamics suck sometimes....!
Also, the 19th was the 8th anniversary of one my cousin's death. May is hell on my family. One bright spot is May 21st. That is my nephew's birthday. He turned 22 this year. How is that possible? He was just a little baby. My blue eyed boy is all grown up...
Sending you all the good vibes for the potential new job, yo! I have had to have a Covid test this morning, SO NO, nothing good happening here. My eyes are still watering now, 2 hours later!
It's a big time for CAKES at the moment, people keep delivering them to me as some sort of lockdown gift, and it's like BRO I NEED AN EXERCISE BIKE DELIVERED, NOT MORE CAKE!
I love to think about what my neighbours think of me. Back home in England, my parents neighbours have NO idea who I am when I'm there and throw me the sort of looks that have made me come to the conclusion that they think I'm my step-mother's secret toyboy. x
