Okay this is my first story, its totally AU and Meredith and Derek have 3 kids Zola(24), Christopher (20), and Kelly (15). Its about how their family struggles to move on after Meredith is diagnosed with Early On-Set Alzheimer and dies.
Her
My father never likes to talk about her. She's always a subject that is totally taboo in our family. I never really got that chance to know her. She was diagnosed with Early On-Set Alzheimer's when in was about 2 years old. Zola was 11 and Christopher was about 7. Sometimes I feel jealous of them. They got the chance to meet her, and know her. They got the chance to have a mom… well and a dad too I guess.
My father hasn't really been there for these past few years. My Aunt Christina says that my father died the same day as she did. Now that I think about it that statements sounds true. He is just kind of a shell of a human being. He gets up eats breakfast, gets dressed goes to work and then after work goes to the local bar on Main Street. He used to go to the bar across from the hospital, but now he says there's too many memories of her there. That's pretty much his daily routine. Gets up, works, and then goes to drink all the memories of her away. I'm used to it, it is a nice comfort I have, its normalcy for us. Occasionally he'll mix it up and try to act like a parent. Every once in a while he'll show up at a school concert or a football game that I happen to be cheering at. When he's there it's a pleasant surprise. I've learned not to expect to much of him over the years.
And I'm fine with it, I have my Uncle Mark who is at every possible event I have, and my Aunt Christina who is there right along side him. And then of course there's Christopher, who has always been there for me my whole life. Christopher is my person, kind of like the bond between Christina and her. I tell Chris everything. Of course I have Zola too. But she's moved away to Miami and is doing her own thing. Don't get me wrong I love her, she and I just don't have the relationship that Chris and I have.
Plus there has always been to much of an age gap between Zola and I. Zola was 9 when my parents had me. I was a surprise baby as my Aunt Christina likes to put it. "Although Christopher was a surprise baby too" she says. Christopher and Zola have an amazing relationship too. I think there special connection most likely has something to do with her. I think that they both knew her and loved her gives them a connection I'll never be able to share. But I'm fine with it, I have my Uncle Mark, my Aunt Christina, Chris, and my dad and sister on a good day, that's all I'll ever need. Or at least it was.
Should i continue? review and tell me what you think
