Hi guys. Sorry it's not an update, but I do have a very good reason. My grandpa (who's been fighting liver cancer for 13 years) was sent to the hospital last week because they found a tumor in his throat. They were planning on doing a surgery today, but yesterday he passed away. My grandpa and I were very close, and it hurts. I'm in Nebraska right now and the funeral is on Monday.
When I found out, I kinda had a little breakdown. My birthday is in 9 days (May 20) and he wasn't alive long enough to see me a year older. I've been stressed about it all week but you guys, my wonderful readers, were always on the back of my mind. I just wanted to let you guys know that I'm going to take a week off to be with family, and hopefully I'll have a new chapter next weekend.
I love you Grandpa,

Question of the Day: Have any of you ever lost a loved one, and turned towards writing to make you feel better?
The day before he passed away, my mom called that night and said that Grandpa wasn't doing very well and that he probably won't live through the weekend. I was so heartbroken and, surprisingly, all I wanted to do was write. I went down to me room, and just typed. Multiple times my vision was blurred because I had so many tears streaming down my face.
I'm really proud of my essay. I hope my grandpa, wherever he may be now, knows that I did something for him.
