what's going on

So I have been receiving bad news all week. It's kinda taking a toll on me, but I just received at least some good news. Helen is out of her coma. Helen the woman who shaped me in my teen years, took me under her wing, always made me apart of her family, and loved me no matter what. I grew up calling her my weekend mom and she called me her weekend daughter. It seems she's gonna be in the hospital for a long time. I think I've been taking it hard because as morbid as it sounds we all imagine what it'll be like when /if our parents, grandparents, siblings, and friends die. Not that I do or did all the time. Just sometimes you think about how life would go on. You just forgot the mentors and other people in your life who had great impact. It really shows you who and what is important in your life. really really.

Well on that sad note. I'm going to try to sleep...

I'm glad she's doing better Elise! I knew that you two were close, but I didn't know that you were that close! Death does suck, and I never thought of it that way, but when someone dies, life does go on...Weird...Hard...But it Happens...and a day doesn't go by, that you don't think about that person or things you wish that you could have said to them!
