To my esteemed readers:
I apologize for not updating for a while. I'm afraid I won't be updating for a while.
You see, my grandmother is very sick. She hasn't been doing well for months and a few weeks ago she was rushed to the hospital. There's rumors that she saw her husband, who died a few years ago. Right now, we're just waiting for her to pass. No one really knows what is wrong. She hurts all over, and hasn't been able to walk for ages. Everyone knows she's going to leave us soon, but no one says it out loud. There's the most awful feeling of dread in the family, and it's affecting everyone. Even my son and niece have been quieter as of late, and they're not even three. The worst part of it is that she is in the south part of the state, while we are stuck in the north with jobs and school. We would go south, but we're not sure when she'll die. It may be tomorrow, next week, or next month.
All in all, it's a particularly dreadful time in my life right now. I haven't been feeling too well myself either, or I would have tried to take out some of my grief through writing.
I hope you all are well, and I apologize I haven't been writing.
