Quick update because I have been too busy this last month or so to even think. Or read my blogs, or catch up on my TV shows! I am so behind on my stories - it pains me.
Work is crazy-busy. It's scholarship awarding season and we are gearing up for VEISHEA week, which for me is Foundation Governors' week/DAC/everything else they can possibly cram into it - week. I am behind with my homework, and personal life has been hectic - seeing family, going on trips, etc.
Along with being busy, these last couple of weeks, I've been sad. First, March 22 was the one year anniversary of my Grandpa Willie passing away. It didn't hit me so much that day, but then last week, Caleb's great uncle Francis passed away, and then it hit. Hard. I was ok until the burial, when I saw that Francis was being buried literally right next to Grandpa. Seeing Grandpa's grave surprised and upset me, and made me freak out quite a bit. Then this week I find out that my great uncle Gene isn't doing well, and his family is surrounding him, waiting for him to pass and end his suffering.
I'm just really sad.... the thought of losing two great uncles is sad, but I didn't know either one well. But they both make me think of my grandpa, and of course those that will truly miss them - their wives, children, those that knew them well. I just feel really down. It feels like everyone is going.... I guess a lot of it has to do with my age, and that I've been extremely fortunate most of my life, not losing anyone. It scares me and unsettles me.
Sorry for the Debbie Downer post. Hopefully happier things soon...
